Just a quick post today before I run out the door! But first, has anyone noticed that the word verifications on peoples' blogs are easier to spell? Or I am just imagining it? It used to bug me because they would string 10 squiggly letters together and I would always type them wrong....now it seems they have more vowels and they are easier to type. I like it! But maybe it's just me.
Anyway, I rarely need baby cards....I guess most of my friends are either past or prior to having babies! But I do have a friend at church who is having her third, so we are visiting her tonight for a little surprise impromptu shower! She doesn't know the gender, so that makes it a bit more challenging, but she wants a cross stitch sampler after the baby is born, so one of my gifts to her is to do a cross stitch. So I made a little "gift certificate" and put it in this card. It uses a retired SU set, Feathered Friends and some retired Prints DP. She is a very "green" person and I think her style is probably plain & simple, so I kept the card fairly simple too. I only wish I hadn't used Confetti paper---that big "confetti" at the top of the card bugs me! Oh well! Thanks for visiting!

Hey LeAnne! This card is fabulous! Your watercoloring is superb!!!! I haven't had much time to stamp these past few days. Am hoping to squeeze in some 'me time' tomorrow night!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful 'neutral' card. You are so sweet to promise a crosstich once the baby is here.
ReplyDeletethe card is adorable. I hope you show pics when you are done the crosstitch with your talent n doubt it will be amazing.Ty for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness-that is SO sweet!! its just so soft and perfectly baby looking!!!
ReplyDeleteand yep, I agree with you, they made the word verification thing more like real words!!!
LOL!! I'm the same way about that Confetti paper!! I have even "not" used a piece because of a big, fat flake right in plain view! I really got a chuckle out of that comment :-) But your card is adorable. I doubt that she will notice the flake at the top, only us anal stampers!!! Thanks for sharing!

LOVE this card - it's so sweet. The line of baby clothes is darling - just a great card. Be sure to post a picture of the crosstich when it's done - I'm sure we'd all love to see it.
ReplyDeleteOhh LeAnne, your card is so sweet and i'm sure your friend will just love it! So cute!
ReplyDeleteYour baby card here is adorable! The coloring is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh about the word verification talk because I'm always messing those things up, it makes me feel like I have dyslexia, lol!
