A while back a co-worker asked me to make some baby themed cards for her. She wanted about six of them to send to a friend who was expecting a baby. I told her that I'd be happy to make some for her but I was secretly scared. If you've been here before then you know that baby cards are not really my thing and I was a little afraid that anything I made would be kinda lousy. But I'm nothing if not adventurous in my craft cave so for the last few weeks I've been busy doing baby card searches and pinning a few that caught my eye.
We don't know whether the baby is a boy or a girl so I've been trying to stick to neutral colors. The card I've got here was inspired by THIS adorable card and features the colors from Colour Me (kind of unconventional for a baby card), the sketch from Pals Paper Arts, and conveniently, the baby theme at The Card Concept. And I got to use a brand new stamp set so I'm linking up to Darnelle's NBUS challenge too (just under the wire)!
I'm not sure mine looks as quite like a bib as my inspiration card (I think it might those in-your-face colors), but it does look better in real life. It's a cute concept and I'm pretty sure the recipient will like it!
My vacation is winding down (insert heavy sigh here) and it's back to work on Monday for me. I've had some fantastic weather this week and got a lot accomplished outside in the garden digging up weeds and flowers that had gone rogue. I love that feeling of a job well done!
Thanks for stopping by!

This is very sweet! Love the bib and colors! And enjoy the rest of your vacation! :)
Super cute card Jen!
I think your bib card is just perfect on your sweet polka dot paper and stitched matting, Jen! I love the little bow and the texture on the bib, too! When we were expecting back in the last century, you couldn't know what the baby was, so I decorated the nursery in yellows and greens! This brought back happy memories!!
Thank you so much for joining in my NBUS Challenge and posting my button!! I really appreciate your support!! Hugs, Darnell

Hello Jen ! What a nice card for your friend, I'm sure she'll love it :) We too chose not to know the gender of our baby so we used yellow and green as well for the nursery, I think that's a perfect choice :)
