It's A Boy....A Bundle of Love and Joy

Happy Tuesday all!! I hope all is well!! This weekend was unseasonably warm but the temperature seems to be getting to more normal averages for this time of year. A little dreary with the rain but I am not complaining since we seem to have been lacking rain since this fall.

I decided that today I would make a more cheerful card for my niece who just had a baby boy using a bolder blue against clean white. This card was made for this Week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.

This week's challenge is:

ODBDSLC138 Border it- use your dies and punches to make a special border on one, two or all sides

Stamps Used: Little Boys, Antique Labels Design, Words of Faith
Dies Used: Antique Labels and Border die, Spellbinders Lattice, A2 rectangles, Scalloped and classic circles. Floral Doily Accents

I just love those old-fashioned sentiment images, and the clean crisp layout is perfect for a little boy.It reminds me of nursery furniture with the trellis and wonderfully framed image.; January 15, 2013 at 9:50 AM
