Happy Monday, Everyone! It's the last Monday of the month of January and I can't believe it. How did we already run through the first month of the New Year? Unbelievable! Well, anyway, since it's the last Monday of the month that means it's Blog Hop time at Bitten By the Bug 2. You should have arrived here from my ever sweet friend Shelly's blog. Wasn't her card just darling? Well, I totally have to admit my mistake. I missed the part of the challenge Carol set for us this week that said to use the New Arrival cartridge. But not to worry, as with all our challenges at BBTB2, if you don't have the New Arrival cartridge you can use a baby carriage from another Circut cartridge. I used an oldie but goodie, Stretch Your Imagination. I love going back to an old cartridge to create. It just so happens that I needed to make a baby card. Our financial planner and his wife are expecting their first child within the next two weeks. It's very unusual in this day and age to find a couple that doesn't want to know the sex of their child, but this couple opted to be surprised. So I couldn't make a pink or blue card and decided to go with a neutral yellow. I wanted to make a shaped card this week and I used my Gypsy to do it. I welded two shadow cuts together, flipping the second cut. I cut the base card from white cardstock then added my yellow polka dot patterned paper from Authentique. I did add a touch of pink with the heart and I hope that doesn't make it look too girly. A small piece of lace, a white bow and a little doodling finish the card off. My sentiment is from a brand new stamp set from Cardz TV Stamps called Sweet Things. The next stop on the hop is the ever so talented, Susan here. Just wait until you see her adorable creation. Have a super fun time with the rest of the hop.
