On to today's challenge ... the host this time is the talented Harriet (Ally Cat Cards) ... and she chose this code word:

____________________


Now, as most of you know that follow my blog, my DDIL Nikki gave birth to a baby boy back in December.  Cooper is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen ... of course, this is his Nana talking :)  Two baby showers were given in Cooper's honor, so I made up a few thank you cards for Nikki to use.

I had a lot of fun making these cards ... I used my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine to cut out the onsies, then made little hangers from wire and a piece of paper (here's the link to the instructions by the muli-talented Jackie Topa!).  So cute.  I added a thank you sentiment to hang the onsie from and some stitching lines to finish.

I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge (ATCAS Challenge (#33 - code word: Baby).  As always, the challenge is open for two weeks so there's lots of time to play along.  Click on the link to find out about the challenge and see the wonderful Design Team cards by the rest of our team, including our new Guest Designer for March ... Karen (Made by Meadie)  - you'll be glad you did!







Stamps:  Many Thanks (Paper Smooches)
Paper:  White; designer paper (unknown)
Ink:  Island Indigo

Loll, congratulations on little Cooper! I LOVE that you went with a baby themed thank you card. The little hanger is gorgeous and the hashed lines around the border are perfect for focusing your eye on the onesie. Gorgeous

Hi Loll sorry its taken me so long to get here but that flu really laid me low. What a gorgeous card and I love that little hanger so clever and so sweet. I see you have already mastered the Cameo and it really helps especially when making a ton of cards.
