Oh baby!

This has to be one of my favorite cards ever, if for no other reason than why I made it.  A dear friend of mine was expecting a little bundle of joy.....but about halfway through the process they got some not so joyful news about their bundle.  The little lady was born and the not so joyful news turned out to be not so bad after all and she's absolutely perfect.  This is such a relief!  So I'm getting a package ready to send full of onesies and of course I have to put a card in the box.  I finally am playing along with the folks at CASE Study Challenge!  I went a bit more simple than their example was, but I took the layout, the heart border and bow and the squares for my inspiration, and when I found this Pebbles paper at Archivers with the birdies I knew I had to plop a few on top of the die cut letters.  The letter boxes were looking pretty plain, so I stamped some pink polka dots on the background and that took care of the problem.  Thanks for stopping by!
