Just us Girls - second helpings!

JUGS DT Lisa E. reminded me of a sweet little ditty I used to sing to my babies so many, many years ago!  For my 'second helpings' I decided to make a baby card for a new grandnephew using another favorite saying!  I think his parents are going to love my neutral color choices - these are from HoneyBee Stamps: Pinstripes and Polka Dots for Just us Girls #696...


This Wplus9 set [Little Dreamers] is c. 2017 but never gets old!  I arranged them to
represent my nephew's family of three - does anyone else remember the
Barrel of Monkeys game?  I might have to see if I can find one as a gift!


My card is a mini-slimline: 3.75 x 8 inches - continues to boggle my mind
when it comes to getting a web-friendly photo for publishing!

It's Monday - you know where I'm headed next, right?  LOADS of fun - hope you are finding time to get creative today - thanks for stopping by!

  2. Total cuteness! I LOL'd about the neutral -- no blue or pink anymore. My gs baby shower; gray,black,tan - not a blue ANYWHERE ;0 Thanks for joining in at JUGS again.

  4. Yes I do remember that 'Barrel of Monkeys' game, Michele, but the monkeys were red. I like your colors better and it's a fantastic baby card for a new member of the family. Thanks for sharing second helpings at Just Us Girls.

  14. What an adorable card Michele! It's so fun and sweet when babies come along in the family. I love the colors of this card, great for either sex. Love the mini slimline, but yes, not always easy to photograph. Oh I so remember the game "Barrel of Monkeys"! I never had it, but friends of mine always had it. Happy laundry day my sweet friend! Hugs, Brenda
