Thank goodness for little girls!

***Miss Lindsay if you are reading this, look away if you want to be surprised***







This week at the Pink Elephant the challenge was "all about pink". Well I immediately think of fresh new baby girls and since my brother and his wife are expecting a baby girl in May, (yes I am totally outing her in blogville!) I had to make a card for when their new baby arrives.

Do you find that when you are making a really really special card for someone that it takes you even longer because it must be just so? That's how it was with this card. I just think the world of my sister in law and am absolutely thrilled for her and my brother. I am so excited to watch them become first time parents--I know they are going to be fantastic at it!

My first step was to go through all my pink patterned paper. Then the lightning bolt hit! The DCWV Nana's Nursery!! I love this paper. Sparkle and pink? Yes please! After much arranging and ink sampling here's what I finished with:



And I had to show a detail of the sparkly paper!

Even my critic gave her approval!
Thanks y'all for stopping by and come back tomorrow when I have a burning question involving a new scrap room I need the answer to!!
Details: CTMH unless noted
Paper: Nana's Nursery (DCWV) bamboo textured cs
Ink: sweet leaf
Stamps: Tea Party
Other: ribbon (HL) edge distresser
