Congratulations

 Hello and welcome to my blog today, for my fellow Canadian friends I hope you had fabulous Victoria Day weekend, finally we have warm weather, there sure wasn't any spring weather here in SWO.  I guess you checked in to see what the new challenge is at Shopping Our Stash and as by the title I'm sure you have guessed we want to see projects that congratulate someone, perhaps Wedding, Anniversary, Graduation or anything else you can congratulate someone for.  Well last challenge I already congratulated Riggs (a charcoal lab) for being adopted to a great family so decided to go with a new baby theme.


90 % of baby cards I make are with a House Mouse Design image, this one is a Happy Hopper and so cute. Since I made a 51/2 inch square card I finally used my Elizabeth Craft Designs scalloped square dies and a very ancient dots embossing folder, it's one of the few I have that fit a 5 inch square layer. The sentiment is from another older set, I stamped it fussy cut around it and flat attached it.


Closer look at the happy hopper which is popped up on the card.


Finished the inside with a 2005 woodblock sentiment from Stampendous.

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to check out the Main Blog and see what the rest of the design team has made, who will you congratulate, a grad, a bride and groom or new parents so many choices. We would love to see your creations on our gallery.
