I would love a die cut machine and this is me attempting to make a die cut shape with a free hand Fiskars cutter, so it's not the smoothest of cuts, but that was the idea...

A friend asked me to make a new baby card for her, so I made this one, and when I emailed her to sort out the logistics for getting her the card she told me the name of the new baby (who had been born the day before). So I made this card, b/c I love personalized cards. When I showed the friend the two cards she was so excited she almost cried. I love, love, love making special cards for people and it seriously made my day to get a reaction like that.

Materials: Studio G alphabet stamps, Paper Inspirations hand prints, patterned paper from my stash (it was a gift when my first son was born 5 years ago!), Veracolor midnight blue ink

This card uses my friend Michelle's new Stampin Up goodies, love the text on the flowers and the versamark background. I'm dedicating this card to my friend Beth for her birthday, Happy Birthday Beth!!! How do you say that in Armenian?  And since Jen thinks I should add this to the Wee Memories "Anything Goes" challenge, here we go... I've found some free wi-fi in the Gisbourne Public Library.
