A New Baby Girl

I’m here today for the reminder post to share my latest creation with you for our current Midweek Magnolia Challenge. Our current challenge is …..

‘Anything Goes’.

The card I’m sharing with you today I have made for my daughter as she is due any day now to have her 1st baby and my 1st grandchild. We do know it’s a girl and now we just have to be a little patient for her to decide when she is ready to join us.

C3, C1, C00, R83, R81.

It seems really strange making a ‘Winter’ card at the moment as it’s Summer here in Australia and it’s a really hot one at the moment but with that said, here is my Winter themed card. I’ve used the lovely ‘Penguins Friends’ image which I’ve teamed with some retired Stampin’ Up papers that go beautifully with Copics BG colours.
