Hello and Happy Thursday to you.
I was going to post this earlier in the evening, but we've been hunkered down in our hallway with thunderstorms, 80 mph winds and sideways rain. All clear now and thankfully no damage. But almost a million folks in Houston area are without power and lots of damage.
This time we did hear the freight train sound of a tornado, but in the distance.
It was another scary one, especially hitting at dusk.
But, onto the matter at hand!
Our oldest nephew and his wife are welcoming their first child (a little girl) next month, so I made this to send them along with a VISA gift card that I wrapped.
I used this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my A7 layout design.
SUPPLY LIST:
Basic Grey Oh Baby Girl 12x12 designer papers, including the card base
Springhill Digital card stock to print image

I use sketches a lot and the one I've used for this card is a favorite because it allows a good-sized image to be featured as the focal point.
Used the colors in the photo and flowered paper
It sounds like a scary time. I saw on the news you were having more bad storms. You would think after this spell you'd be due some calm weather. (I'm sure you wish it.) That's an adorable little one on your card, and it's a pretty card too. I bet it's exciting to have a little join your extended family. Thanks for linking up to TIOT. And I hope you have a quiet day and night (or several). hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely storm season in the South! I'm praying that everyone had power restored soon, nothing like no electricity when the humidity and heat are high. Now, your card is simply adorable! Thanks for playing along at The Inspiration Station Challenge. We look forward to seeing more from you soon.
