New arrival

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built.  This week we have a fun Tic Tac Toe board for you:

  

Here is what I created for your inspiration:

     I used the diagonal starting in the top right corner: pastels, polka dots, piercing.  A girl at our church is expecting her third baby in a couple months, so this was the perfect opportunity (and challenge) to create a baby card for her.  I used some really old SU! paper (probably 12 years old at least!) to create the pieced background.  One of the papers does have some large dots on it, but I added more polka dots with the ribbon.  I used a piercing tool to create a pierced border around the focal image.  I got this sweet little lamb image with the intention of using it for baby cards and it is soooo cute!!

     Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this photo.  And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.
