I have wanted the Paper Smooches set containing this sweet pair of elephants forever. Last week I said to myself--'self, why would you want something forever that costs $15. Just get it already'. So I did. I love it when conversations with myself go so well.
The challenge at Addicted to CAS is baby, and Paper Smooches has an Everything Goes Challenge, and so my cards were born (haha). I used the sketch from RetroSketches #104, and will be entering the pink card at Simon Says Wednesday where the challenge is Anything Goes with Pearls.
After I made this sweet girl card, I decided to make a boy version. The patterned papers I used were from We R Memory Keepers 'Baby mine', and they had colors that worked for girls, boys and mystery babies, too. I cut the Welcome baby sentiment in half so I could stack the words.
Thanks for Visiting
Oh, Joyce, these are so adorable! Love the little elephants and the double tags. It's fun to see baby cards in brighter colors and not always pastels.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad you got the set...the boy and girl combo is absolutely adorable Joyce. Looks like you have to have more conversations with yourself! :)
