If you remember back in May I mentioned that my sister had lost her baby last year just 3 1/2 weeks before her due date (you can read that post here). What I failed to mention in that post was that she was pregnant again. I didn't want to say anything until her baby was born.
I'm so happy to say that last week my sister gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl!!!! When we got the announcement, my entire family breathed a collective sigh of relief.
I have some darling pink baby outfits and several pairs of shoes to mail to my sister. Of course that package will include a hand stamped card from me.
I used Julee's Mojo Monday sketch for the card
as well as the Rock-a-Bye Girl simply scrappin' kit. I used my coluzzle to cut out the large Regal Rose circle at the top of the card. The pink scalloped circle, green circle, and heart are all die-cuts from the simply scrappin' kit. I punched out a flower with my Trio Flower punch, added a silver brad to the center, and adhered it to the heart with a dimensional.
The "so happy for you" sentiment is also a die-cut from the simply scrappin' kit. I layered it on Regal Rose cardstock and then on Pink Pirouette cardstock. Then I punched it out with the Wide Oval Punch. I punched another Wide Oval out of Regal Rose cardstock, cut it in half lengthwise, and adhered it behind the Pink Pirouette oval so it would look layered. What can I say? I'm addicted to layers! I finished the oval by paper piercing (freehand) around the edges.
I'm off to the post office so I can mail this package. I'll be back in a little bit with my exciting announcement so be sure to check back. ~Dannie
