SEE YOU IN THE NEW YEAR!

Wishing all of you a Happy New Year....hope it is a good one....I did not really make a resolution this year...every year it is to lose weight and maybe win the powerball....but both have never suceeded although I have lost some since last year.....so this year I'm just going to try to do better and what ever is thrown my way, enjoy, endure and exceed! Thanks to all who inspire...God Bless everyone!

Baby shower card / 2nd post for today!

Hello again! I just did this card in about 5 mins.....no lie! This card is for my cousins baby shower which is this saturday...they just had a baby girl...this is actually their 2nd shower... I used NA (which I don't use to much, don't know why because I like the cuts...)

The basinet is cut @ 3" the baby is cut @ .3/4"...added some ribbon and skittles and the inside reads :

This brings congratulations
and the warmest wishes too
Now that you have a brand new daughter
To share your life with you

For there's nothing any nicer
than a bouncing baby girl
to fill your home with happiness-
and your hearts with pride and joy!

Hope you enjoy...
