this is also for jens card a day challenge. if you click HERE you'll get there in a flash :) jes made a really fantastic baby boy card so be sure to go see it :) i have the hardest time with any type of guy card but also have a hard time with baby cards. youd think growing up being the only girl ( 3 brothers) and having a daycare for 20 years now these types of cards would be a breeze.. nopers. maybe these things are what have caused my creative block to fail me there. hmmm. oh well..things i must work on right :)
for this card i used my cricut and george (oval) wildcard (heart) walk in my garden (beehive) and plantin (wording) cartridges. i added raindots and raindothearts and stickles. the cute little bees are cuttlebug. paper is K&Co. have a fantastic day:) thanks for stopping by xx shelly
