Baby Shower Card


  Hi Blogging Beauties,

Life has been busy this week.
I worked Tuesday on Grade 6, Wednesday on Grade 3 and Thursday and Friday on Grade 5.
Friday night my sister-in-law moved into their newly bought house and we went to visit and lend a hand (don't know if we were much help really).  Then Saturday I took some cards to the markets.
Unfortunately the markets were a little quiet, but I still managed to sell 12 cards so it wasn't a wasted day.  It was the first time I went to these particular markets, so it does take awhile for people to know what you are selling and think of you when they need a card.

This is the third Baby Shower card I have made this month.  There seems to be a lot of babies being born this year.  The request was bright colours, animals and polka-dots.  I think I managed to tick all of those boxes.

I used Kaisercraft Fun Fair papers. I cut all the animals out of the paper and arranged them onto the card.

I decorated the inside of the card to match.


I would like to enter two challenges:

Stamping Vacation - No Flowers


Before I go, I thought I would share a picture of this little frog.
Our bathroom keeps attracting lots of frogs.  We arent sure where they get in.  But the other night this little green tree frog wanted to take a shower with me.  I wasn't too keen, so Ben took him outside.  I just love this photo though...his lovely green skin and his cool eyes.

Have a great Sunday and tanks for stopping by,

You did have a busy week Alicia! Love the card...lots of cutting and all the animals look great together. Love the frog...well not in the shower with me no...but they are a beautiful creature....I've heard they only live in clean (not polluted) environments...we don't get them here....so probably a good thing to have them around if that's true.

The bright baby shower cards are delightful :) So was your little visitor, LOL. Much cuter outside than in the shower! I still thinkI might like a little frog instead of the stinky mice we get each fall. Have a relaxing Sunday, hugs...

Really cute card Alicia! Perfect for a baby shower. Although I cannot touch frogs or let them jump on me, I do love them and they say if you have green frogs around, the environment is really healthy. We have lots!

Hi Alicia

Great job on the Baby Shower card, I think it fits the bill perfectly.

Awww what gorgeous frog. I had no idea that you got green tree frogs down there. We have load of them here at our house. Every night we have at least two or three on each of our windows.
