Made by *B*

Here are pics of Phoebe today in the sweetest little dress-I just love the pattern!! And note the big bow in her wee bit of hair, LOL!! She is absolutely my VELCRO baby right now and seems stuck to me like glue all day-luckily she takes good naps so today after hanging out with my girlie, I sat down and used her dress as inspiration. She can wave now (you can see that in the pic^)  and if folks are lucky they will see an “ummm-mah” kiss being blown from her hands; she is also a little stinker about climbing up the stairs from our family room. She loves being caught and thinks it is quite fun as you can see by her expression the 1st pic! 

I bought the cards at Target on clearance b/c they were so cheap-I think 10 for $2.25. They had the glittery  ”thank you” already on there and the rest was blank. I use Phoebe’s dress as inspiration because I am SOOOO behind on her thank you cards! I made *20* of them today using her dress colors as my guide. The 1st one I made used bigger flowers and more Pink Passion and some Only Orange-but it overpowered the “thank you” in the corner so I toned it down for the rest of the batch.

The paper was not high quality-I had a hard time getting my images to have total coverage-but I do like how the pattern came out.

Sets:

Baroque Motifs & Fabulous Flowers

Ink:

Cool Caribbean, Apricot Appeal, Pretty in Pink, Passion Pink, Gable Green

I used old organdy ribbon I had already and then added in a touch of pink polka dotted ribbon like the one in Phoebe’s hair. It was a sweet gift from someone on SCS-it is called Dots & Dashes and I *think* it is from Micheal’s-adding that little splash of festive ribbon really brightened up the corner and helped tie in the bright pink!
