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!

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.

Such a sweet card in neutral colors, Michele! I love the Barrel of Monkey's game. Good luck finding it! Thanks for sharing with us at Just Us Girls.

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.

And this sentiment, my friend, is something Sweet P and I say! What a cutie patootie card for your grandnephew, those monkeys are fun! I got Sweet P's Barrel of Monkeys game at the drug store, of all places. They're still around!

What a fun and creatively thought out card, Michele! I hope you can find the game. I'm fairly certain I've seen it available in the not so distant past. ;) I appreciate your cardmaking style so much. Thanks for sharing.

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
