Here Come The Girls..........

....... sorry I just couldn't resist that title..... lol.

 I was asked to make a Christening card for twin girls.  It's not often I make Christening cards, so I do enjoy making them when I need to.  I used my Silhouette software to position all the wording and to print out.  The crib dies are by Marianne and the corners are Cheery Lynn. (I think)  The little pearl hearts are from Hobbycraft.

Thanks for looking
