Isn't the arrival of a new baby an exciting time??? I made this card for a friend of mine who is actually (ready for this?) my niece's room mate's mom who lives in New York. That's a mouthful!! Ha
Ligia (pronounced lee-
hee-uh) just found out her older daughter is expecting and this will be
Ligia's FIRST
grand baby!!! I think sometimes it's more exciting for a first grandma than it is a mom-to-be! *smile*
Obviously,
Ligia called MY mom to tell her the good news. She has been here to visit us a few times along with her daughter and my niece. We have all become very close and we share in her wonderful news. Since she doesn't know the sex, I wanted to go with a neutral color to congratulate her on her fun news.
I used
Gina K's,
"How Sweet It Is" set on the outside. I LOVE this stork and this was yet another set I had been putting off getting for a long time. The last time I saw a card made with it I decided, enough, I ordered it..... finally!!
For my layering sheet I used the
Paper Temptress'
Marbled White Vellum. I LOVE this vellum. It reminds me of clouds and I thought it was perfect for the stork image. The yellow layer is also from the PT and is from the
Ruche, Yellow Crepe.
On the inside of my card I wanted to leave a small "impression" of what it would be like to hold that little baby the first time... *smile*. I used
Melanie Muenchinger's,
"Hand in Hand" for the image and the sentiment. I LOVE this set!!!
OMGosh... I can just hear
Ligia's excitement now when she sees that bundle of love for the very first time and I can just imagine her HUGE smile. I'm so very happy for her AND the mom-to-be!!!
Have a great day and go hold a baby, if you can. I sure would though I am NOT allowed to anymore... (according to my hubby who thinks I'll want more!)
LOL. *smile*
