There's nothing on earth quite as sweet and lovely as a newborn baby. With that said, I'd like to introduce you to Lily. Not my Lily, but another precious little Lily. She was born April 5, weighing in at 8 lbs. 10 oz. Her sweet Mama is the daughter of a friend of mine, and she actually used to babysit my kids. Boy, does that ever make me feel old.
I made a little card for her that I made into a photo holder so that her Mama can save it with a photo of this little sweetie. Lily is precious - fresh from God. Psalm 127:3
My card is based on Dawny's sketch at Simon Says Stamp Blog and I used My Mind's Eye Blush line. The tiny little tag says Lily, but it's difficult to see. Here is the card:
Here is the link to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge and the sketch I used:

The second project I made is for Clear It Out Challenge Blog where they are having a REALLY cool and fun challenge. It's a Karaoke Challenge, and you need to base your project on a song. Since my project is a little treat bag, I used the song, "SWEET GIRL" by Fleetwood Mac. This little paper bag project is perfect for tucking treats inside. I used a Bugaboo Digital Stamp on my project because the sponsor for this challenge is the wonderful Bugaboo Stamps. They have the cutest images, and I would LOVE to win. You can check out this awesome challenge here:

I'm also entering this project here because I used a Bagaboo image:
I don't often win, but I still love to play and be inspired by the challenges out there. I hope you will join in the fun on some of these challenges as well; including our weekly challenge at Word Art Wednesday where we would LOVE to see you. Have a wonderful day.
God's blessings to you,
Karen
