For Baby Swap Card.....

Good Morning & Happy Thursday Friends!

My post for today is showcasing the card I made for a Demo Swap that I participate in.  Our challenge for this month was to make a baby card using DSP.  This was quite the challenge for me because I don't have any kind of baby paper....I have some baby stamps but NO paper sooooo; I had to put on my thinking cap! 

I decided to use the Just Add Cake DSP because I thought I could make it *look* babyish.  It does have some *baby like* colors & patterns & I feel that the ones I chose totally go with the baby theme!!  I colored my duck image with markers, added some ribbon & finished it off with some bling.  I'm quite happy with the finished result & I hope the ladies in our swap will be pleased too!!

Well, I need to get back to my never ending laundry!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

So cute, Jackie! I would never have guessed that paper wasn't meant for baby cards. It works beautifully. Love that sweet little ducky and the bling in the corners!

Your card is way too cute. No one would know it isn't baby paper if you didn't tell them. Besides, isn't that thinking outside the box?
