A Thank You and Congratulations in One!

My friend found out that she is pregnant (a few months along now) and last weekend she babysat my children so that we could go sign the contract for our new house. It was super awesome of her to do that and she will never know how much we appreciate it. We figure if we had to pay a teen it would have cost us at least $30. Gift card ($30) is from motherhood maternity and a belly bar (think nutrition bar with stuff for preggo people). I made this card to go along with it. I hope she likes it!
Paper is by Sandylion Sticker Designs. Ribbons are SU, retired, rose grosgrain. Image was purchased at Michaels for $1 and sentiment is from SU "Swell News." Layout is by Cambria - her tri-fold card and you can find the full directions here.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
