Another card to share before I a) forget and links close and b) call to chat with my niece and nephew, who I haven't talked to in such a long time!
Brief story: while we were away, my brother took his family and my mom to a cousin's wedding way, way, way up north. I'm so happy he did, because Mom hasn't been to her home town for quite a while and it was opportunity for my niece and nephew to meet the huge clan of aunts, uncles, cousins and second cousins on my mom's side. Added to that: a good ol' big small town wedding (300+ guests) - and that, in and of itself, was an eye-opening, ton of fun for the little ones. My niece was excited, because she got to dance with the "princess" - the bride - and my nephew, well...he was just a hit in general. Here's a photo of Mr. Dude, all decked out in his 'city-slicker' best to wow the relatives and rock up a storm:
I know I'm biased Aunty C, but I think he's a cutie patootie!!
My niece, to the left, is navigating him (she likes to 'herd' her people sometimes. Way too funny!).
I am beyond excited to see them over Easter!!
Back to my card...from butterflies to babies. My inspiration for images/theme comes from Curtain Call: Baby Booties,
and Cure for the Monday Blues #12, where I was inspired by the sweet colours and the notion of 'cuddles' because baby-cuddling is so good for the spirit, (Taheerah selects the coolest inspiration photos - check out the shoes on the lower left. Want!)
My layout was Retro sketches #109 inspired
Isn't that elephant stamp/die adorable!! Love this onesie!!
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments make my day!

Speaking of babe....this card has the same magnetism! Drawn to the design and the colors and the absolute 'baby' of it all! The best part - the wee peep of the pink banner on the left side of the card! It's all these special little extras that ramps your cards to beyond amazing!

I don't think you're biased at all! He's a cool (in his shades) and handsome little lad, and I bet all the family thought so too! When my nephew got married, little Lily got to dance with the bride, and came running back to me, "Grandma!, I got to dance with the princess!" She was thrilled, and the bride has never forgotten what she said! Love stories like that! Speaking of love, I love your sweet and precious baby card! The dp behind the onsie is perfect, and that onsie itself is darling! Great design, great card! Bev
