Baby Card ~ Sock Monkey {1st Post}

Good morning my sweet visitors.

Switching gears a little I have a baby card to share.

This is the first time I've used this cute little sock monkey image.

I've had it in my collection for a while just waiting to play.

I've also had this border punch for a while and had yet to use it.

So those could be both my old and new for the challenge going on over at 

Creative Bug on the Loose.

The die cut words are from some new sets I got recently.

After I finished the card design I realized none of my 

sentiment stamps looked just right in the space I had left. 

They were either too big or too small.

I wanted to do them in three positions to hold the twine lines in place.

The die cut words are the perfect size, secured the twine in place 

AND are perfect to describe a sweet baby.

*Cute and sweet sentiments from the Scalloped Die Card die set from Technique Tuesday.

*Hugs sentiment from the Heart Card die set from Technique Tuesday.

*Border cut using a punch from Fiskars.

*Copic markers B32, G21, Y21 aand YG11.

*Twine from my stash.

May your day always be filled with love.

Crafty hugs,
