Baby Time at Crafty Creations Challenges

Happy Wednesday! It's time for another Crafty Creations challenge, and this week we are looking for your baby-related projects. Our challenge this week is generously sponsored by Beccy's Place, and I've used one of her digis for my card: 


As soon as I saw this image, I knew I wanted to paper-piece the letters and shape the card around them. All the many patterned papers come from Echo Park's Little Girl line, and I so like that I could make a card suitable for a girl OR a boy using them. I played with a few ideas to make the balloons more, well, balloon-like, but in the end decided I liked them best keeping them the same as the rest of the design. I did trace the balloon strings with a clear glitter pen. With so many happy patterned papers, I think I'll enter this in Moxie Fab World's Mixy-Matchy style challenge.
Link up your baby-inspired project for your chance to choose three images from this week's fabulous sponsor! 

Supplies: white cardstock, Echo Park Little Girl patterned paper, atyou Spica clear glitter pen

I LOVE this card! Shaping the card around the letters...brilliant! And those patterns are awesome for either gender. I need to get some baby cards made so I KNOW I'll be playing along this week!

I don't think I have ever paper pieced but this card might just be inspiration enough. It is so cute and happy and bright. Beautifully done.

LOVE is exactly what I felt when I saw this! The papers are so fun and cheery and the way you trimmed the bottom of the sentiment is perfect!

OMG, this is fabulous. I love the way you trimmed away the bottom of the card. SO awesome.
