New Big Sister Card

My goal today was to make a birthday card for my son who will be marking another year in a few days.  Unfortunately, my head is a bit fuzzy from cold medicine and my creativity went in a whole different direction.....

(The card is lying on a piece of red cs for the photo so you can see how the front window exposes the inside image.)

 

My second great granddaughter was born over the week-end, promoting my first great granddaughter to Big Sister.

I know she will be a wonderful big sister, although I hope she doesn't carry her new baby sister in the same manner she carries her dolls.

Quite a while ago, I won this Mo Manning stamp but haven't used it until now.  It captures Laila's hair perfectly. 

Her new baby sister has quite a head of hair herself, also very dark, but very straight.

The die cuts for the flowers and the letters are from 
My Favorite Things. 

The stitched circle dies are from La La Land. 

The CONGRATULATIONS stamp is from the 

CTMH January SOTM.

Challenges:

Allsorts Challenge Week #501 - Hearts and Flowers (heart paper, die cut flowers and stamped flowers) 

Challenge Up Your Life Challenge #103 - All New (new big sister, new sentiment stamp)

Cute Card Thursday Challenge #563 - AG

Die Cut Divas January Challenge - Something New (new big sister, new sentiment stamp)

Scrapy Land Challenge #105 - AG with a die sold by Scrapy Land (La La Land)

  

 Hopefully, I'll get that Birthday Card made tomorrow.

Big Sister Step Card for Tuesday Throwdown

This week's Tuesday Throwdown Challenge Theme is Sweet Little One and is sponsored by one of my favorites, Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps.  So often when a little one is born, the older siblings feel left out, which is why I decided to make my Design Team project a Big Sister Card with this wonderful digi image Good Night Princess and use a step card fold to give it center stage on the card. 

I hope you will stop over at the Tuesday Throwdown Challenge Blog to see the wonderfully creative projects of my Team Mates and also at Robyn's Fetish Shop to see the variety of wonder digis available.  By then you should be inspired to join in this week's Sweet Little One Challenge at Tuesday Throwdown.
