Happy Friday! Although since I took the week off from work, Monday was a happier day, lol! Back to the grind stone next week (but at least Monday's a holiday!).
But back to the task at hand--Friday means Blogger's Challenge. This week the theme was "labor". We were given a choice of making a patriotic card or a baby card. I chose a baby card because I need to send one to a gal I know through work--she just had her first baby.
I wanted to personal the card so I grabbed my new JustRite Curlz Font Monogram Stamp to make the initials of the new baby, Cody. This monogram size, without the border, fits perfectly with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch.
I used Think Happy Thoughts to make my own background. The circle sentiment is from Sweet Celebrations. Lastly, "sweet little one" is from Holiday & Wishes. I used Black Stazon to stamp right on the ribbon.
And...a little announcement. I'm going to have some Blog Candy to give away this weekend. I checked my "hits counter" and I'm just shy of 100K hits! So to celebrate, I'm going to give away some goodies to you!
Thanks for the visit!
Awesome Sheryl. Love that you stamped on the ribbon...such a fun way to add flair to a card! Hope you have a wonderful and safe Labor Day weekend.
