Super Cute

Hi and welcome to the second week of our month-long 400th challenge celebration at Freshly Made Sketches.  I decided to look back at my history with FMS and I first starting playing along at Sketch #20 - a month after I started my blog.  I was lucky enough to be chosen as a Perfect Princess in that challenge - chosen by none other than then-Guest Designer, Kim Singdahlsen.

It was a crafty dream come true when I was asked to be a Guest Designer in January 2014 and I've stayed ever since.  I love this team - they are so talented, caring and supportive.

Following on from last week's theme, we're going back to sketch #200.


My late son, Matthew, has a very good friend who is due to have a baby girl later this month.  It is nice to have something as sweet as a new baby to look forward to after all the heartache of the last two months, and I enjoyed making this card for the upcoming arrival.


I die-cut the onesie and the dress from patterned paper and added a little bit of shading with Copic markers.  The bib was cut from cardstock.  I adhered Watercolor Wash patterned paper to the bottom of a white card base and then heat-embossed the sentiment.  The clothing was added to the clothesline with foam tape to lift if from the white card and add some dimension.  A thin strip of Cotton Candy cardstock separated the two layers.

To finish the card, I added some clear sparkle pen to the pink heart.


Thanks for visiting.  Please check out the fabulous creations made by the rest of the design team.

Stamps:  Welcome Baby (MFT)

    There isn't a laundry day better than one spent folding sweet little baby clothing, right? I even enjoyed folding diapers - yes, way better than washing them!!
    Your card, laundry, and sentiment could NOT be cuter, Karren! xx

    Isn't it fun how we all were part of this challenge - I played along with sketch #1 and both I and Ms. Timko were perfect princesses!!

    The card is absolutely charming - what a fun sentiment! I'm so glad there's a new baby and I hope it's nearby so you can give it lots of hugs and snuggles.
