Freshly Made Sketches #692

Narelle is our host this week for Freshly Made Sketches #692 - it's a beauty!

I don't need many baby cards these days but I'm always happy to make one for a friend's new grandbaby!  If I were decorating a nursery these wonderful neutrals would be my go-to ...monkey and bunny would be optional!


These darling little critters have been around for years but always
seem 'just right' to me.  Narelle included three focal squares in her sketch
which I promptly substituted with clouds to give that brolly an updraft!


Another addition from Waffle Flower included this Blanket-Stitched
set of frames - a 'blankie' seemed perfect for a baby card - and one of the
many premade sentiments from WF finished it off beautifully!

Okay, I know storks deliver babies - but I just couldn't resist a little fun!
Hope you'll join us and add a bit of fun of your own to our gallery before 3pm EST on Monday June 30th!

  4. Browns and beiges should definitely be a neutral for baby cards! You've used one of my fave ME sets--a perfect welcome for any baby or grandbaby!
