One of the girls in my office is leaving work to have a baby ... now I have made new baby cards in the past, but have never had occasion to make a card for leaving to have a baby before. However Emma is a lovely girl so I thought I would have a go. This was a real challenge actually, as I don't have any specific images or wordings for this particular life-event; so I had to think a bit wider.
I thought that this cute LotV teddy holding a balloon and flowers would be suitable; and I found a sentiment in my stash to wish someone happiness ... finally I decided to tie the colour shcheme in to the fact that she is expecting a little boy - here's the result.
Stamps: LotV "Teddy With Balloon"; "For You Circular Sentiments", "Sentiment Tags";
Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers;
Papers: Forever Friends;
Supplies: flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts; ribbon and heart gems from Hobbycraft; lace and cheesecloth from The Ribbon Girl; round gems by Papermania;
Tools: Labels Four nestabilities; Cheery Lynn "lace deco" corner die.

This is so gorgeous hun, and wise choice of sentiment, perfect for the occasion, unless of course you could find one that says Wishing You A Quiet Baby!! Beautiful card. Hugs Sxx
