Happy occasion: My husband's sister became a grandmother for the first time on Friday. I had some left over polished stone in blues and always liked this Sketch Challenge (#21), so this is what I came up with for this stork delivering a baby boy. The clear embossing on the Bashful Blue Craft was shinier than the white embossing on the polished stone, so I rubbed on some Macro White PE and that perked it up a little bit. The stork layer is on dimensionals. Finally used some buttons, and this is the closest I come to sewing!

OOOH. this is so sweet! I love the buttons and star, the polished stone, the colors, and of course the fact that little baby boy Drew is here! Such a precious card for such a precious baby boy.

Absolutely stunning, the way you've done the background! Everything is so well thought out here. I love the Word Window, the punched out star, the buttons, the positive/negative background, the Itty Bitty sprinkles. Just magnificent!

Linda, this is a very elegant and sophisticated baby card! I am so tired of "cutesy"; this is creative and refreshing departure. The colors and the layout all work beautifully together. TFS! :-D
