new baby

Some friends had a new baby boy - so gave them a pair of Melissa's little baby shoes - which are both tiny and happy (making)!

Also love the little bag they came in, made from a children's book illustration.

I made a card using one of my photographs...

..and the 'stamp' tool in Photoshop to pick up from the clouds and do the lettering.

I always find it difficult to find a baby card that I like - that somehow reflects the uniqueness of what has just happened. In many other occasions as well of course. That's one of the reasons I began making cards - sometimes for those big events you just need something 'different'.
