It is a beautiful day as my best friend is having her first baby today! I am so excited to meet her little girl and I know that Sara and Robert are going to be amazing parents. I used the colours from The Play Date Cafe for my card along with stamps from Market Street Stamps (background), Purple Onion Designs (flowers) and Unity (sentiment). I'm really loving that argyle background from MSS. It seems to be sneaking onto a lot of cards lately. :)Since I'm on the subject of Sara I also wanted to show you the card I made for her baby shower.

Hey there Chica...love the story! So fun...and how blessed are your friends...hope the delivery of their beautiful girl is an easy one. Both cards are simply divine!
ReplyDeleteO.k. you are definitely on a roll girl! Both of these cards are awesome! The colors in the first one are SPOT on and I love the design! The second is soooooo CUTE and CLEVER!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are wonderful Jen, but the little clothes with the name spelt out is adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat story - so full of love! I remember when my dear friend had her first girl....I couldn't stop crying with joy. She is now 22 years old! Both cards - so very different- are amazing! I love the contrast on the first one - it is striking! And, well, who couldn't love the second one? A total grin-maker! You rock again, kiddo! Blessing to your friend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, I'm sure the happy new parents loved them :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyous time! And I love both cards you made:) Your little Chica clothesline is just too adorable!
ReplyDeleteAll the best to your best friend and her new family:)
What sweet cards. They are both such great keepsakes for your friend as she begins her journey of motherhood. Chica is a great name for a yet-to-be-born baby girl. My daughter's pre-birth name was Starfish, and I can't even remember why.
ReplyDeleteboth cards are wonderfully cute...love the story behind the Chica name:)
ReplyDeleteI'm not great at names, either... my go-to name for kids as a teacher was Fred.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are perfect for a new chica! I can see why the argyle is a go-to background -- it looks awesome!
How exciting! You never know they may have already chosen Chica as the name.... They are going to adore the cards, and the fun onesie!
ReplyDeleteboth cards are adorable jen, loving the argyle too, i of course forgot how amazing you are and thought it was patterned paper when i first saw it! as the for chicka card ... too cute, hope all goes well for them today!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world, little Chica! Congrats to your friend & their new littlest family member :) I love both cards - but I just may have a soft spot for the cutest line of laundry ever...since I didn't have to wash any of it ;)
