It's A Girl

What a day yesterday .. and today another longish day again... in fact I just returned home now and am so tired that we decided to get a take away for dinner he he and so glad I decided to take tomorrow off ... and hubby too :P We will first take our son for his A Level exam in the morning and then we are going to spend the day as we please :)  I like to do this once in a while and tomorrow seemed like the perfect day since Saturday is my birthday! So keep a look out as I want to get together some candy :)

Anyway, thought I would share this card today, which is an extra large one, 8x8!
I had never made such a large card before but this person wanted it large so I was really pleased I got this Forever Friends stamp, as it is quite large too.. so just perfect! There are three large gorgeous clear stamps in the set and also other small ones. This is the first one that I am using.

The DP are from Stamp Fairy, the leaves are Marianne Creatables, the flourish is Memory Box, while the cute bib is a Whimsy Shapeology Die.

I am entering my card in these challenges today

Eureka Stamps 39 - BABY or PREGNANCY
Bearly Mine - LUCKY DIP (lace, diecuts and flowers)
