Welcome Baby - for Cas-ualfridays - and Beth
05 March 2012
Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you all had a fabulous day.
Tonight's card is in honor of Lucy Victoria! Beth, congratulations on the arrival of your grand-daughter. What a wonderful occasion and I am so very pleased for all of you.
Cas-ualfridays had a challenge to make a clean and simple baby card and how wonderful to have a reason to make one! I really wanted to do something other than pink and think that Pool Party is such a gorgeous color that it is neither masculine nor feminine.
Here's my card
Isn't that image just the cutest thing you have seen? Of course, those bubbles, water and plastic bath screamed for some Crystal Effects and I love that the dots on the paper are echoed in the focal image and I made the third circular repetition with some pearls.
Card contents - all Stampinp' Up! unless otherwise noted:
- Card stock: Whisper White, Pool Party
- DSP: Pool Party In Color Patterns Pack
- Inks: Copic markers
- Stamp: Woodware - New Baby. Sentiment - SU Short & Sweet
- Tools: Crystal Effects

I hope that you will leave a message of congratulations to Beth on the addition of her new baby. :-)
You should also pop across to cas-ualfridays and check out the fabulous design team and submission cards.
On a personal note:
Jen, thank you for your message about checking out Quinn. Isn't he amazing! Rach, I am so jealous that you saw BB King when you were 12. I was in my 40s when I saw him. Lissie did well to introduce you to such amazing talent at such an early age.
I am going to try to get some more boxes packed tonight, however, I must admit, I am little hooked on Downton Abbey. We got Tivo a week ago and found that we could join netflix and download movies. Great, we thought. What I hadn't realized is that you can get the whole of Season 1 of Downton Abbey there as well. Needless to say, I got to sleep at about 1am this morning because I decided to give it a try and see what all the fuss was about. mmmm...... 4 episodes later, I finally went to sleep! So, instead of packing - I might have to watch the Voice and maybe an episode or two of Downton Abbey. :-)
Warm hugs and prayers for all of you who need a little lift tonight. As always, thank you so much for spending time in my little area of the stamping blogosphere. You know your visits mean a great deal to me.
Hugs
Jaydee
