So, as fate would have it, my boys are both sick again leading up to the hop. They were running fevers over 104 earlier in the weekend and now hubby and myself are sick as well. So, crafty time just didn't happen again. Instead, I pulled out this card I made several years ago that happens to be one of the favorite baby cards I've ever made. Hope you enjoy this little re-run and sorry for not having a new card two hops in a row!
From my original post: Chloe and her basket from Chicks Rule had a little play date with the gang from To the Moon, and this is their little play date portrait. The basket from Chicks Rule is colored and cut out. I stamped the handle on a long panel, then Emery the Elephant and JayJay the Giraffe from to the Moon and Chloe from Chicks Rule piled inside and I placed the cut-out basket over them. Since they're peeking over the sides, I was able to move the basket a ways below the end of the handle, giving more room for JayJay to peek his long neck out.
The sentiment is from To the Moon and I stamped it on an Embossed Oval Die cut. Then to jazz it up, I cut and layered four of the Charming Oval Die cuts, then arranged them as a backdrop for the Embossed Oval. LOVE the look of it! I tied a bit of Sahara Gold Metallic Dream String from Pizzazz Aplenty around the long rectangle. This stuff is so shiny and fun to work with! A few little buttons and a whole lot of liquid pearls finished everything off.
