BABY SHOWER CARD FOR HAYLEY!

Hayley and her husband, Austin, are expecting their FIRST child in less than a month. Hayley is the eldest daughter of my husband, Jer's, baby sister, Cami. (I'll wait while you figure it out.)

Last weekend, I attended a baby shower and, of course, a handmade card was in order! The invitation stated that little Audree Camille's nursery colors are pink, lime green, and brown, so I designed the card accordingly. I used a kraft card base and chose cheery paper colors and patterns. Though I have a jar stamp/die set, I used a larger jar stamp and just hand-cut it. (Twice on the lid.)


I gave the kraft envelope a lil attention, too...


And, the gift wrapping...


The mother-to-be is carrying her baby JUST as her own mother carried HERS. From behind, one can't even tell that Hayley is pregnant -- and from the front, it looks as though she just stuck a volleyball under her shirt! AMAZING to me since I became GI-NORMOUS with EACH of my five pregnancies!

  2. Though the spelling is "off," I had to smile at the name Hayley and Austin chose. LOVELY.

    I'm glad you think I did okay on the card. I'll tell ya...were it not for dies and punches, my cards would be pretty D-U-L-L.
