From one extreme ....

.... to the other!  We went to my friend's son's 21st party at the weekend, and also in attendance were other friends with their new baby, Matthew - all of 5 days old!!  He is the cutest little guy, and also the most calm and tranquil baby I've seen in a long time.  But in case you think I was getting broody, I wasn't - I am so glad I'm past that stage!!!  I made this card for him:


I used the sketch from this week's Sweet Sketch Wednesday, and I'm also entering it in the following challenges: Mo's Digital Challenge ("Anything Goes"), Cupcake Craft Challenge ("In Stitches") and The Cute Pie Challenge ("No Flowers").

I used one of Mo Manning's cute baby images - here's a closer look, followed by a side-shot of the dimension of this card.



Recipe:
Papers: MME "Stella Rose - Hattie"
Image: Mo Manning "Binky Baby"
Colouring Medium: Distress Inks
Other: Brads and ric-rac from stash, buttons - Basic Grey "Granola".

Thanks for looking!
