Chibi Baker

Gosh April is turning out to be a busy month! This card is for my niece who turns 21 today. We are having her party tonight (i.e., Friday night) and then T has to go to a performance at school for 7:15. And don't forget that I am taking all his friends to the zoo tomorrow for his birthday...oh no!

Anyway, this image is from Angelina's site. Honestly, if you love a free digi image (and one so well done!), you must visit her blog (she has 30+ available!). Bit of an odd color palette (mixing Basic Grey's Origins and Two Scoops) but I don't think it is too scary (besides, I wanted cute but not baby cute since she is a worldly woman now...ha ha!). I also chose to pair it up with the Card Scraps sketch and enter it into this week's Oh, Alice! challenge.


Positive note of the day: Most of the party planning is done, I have a clean house, my zoo tickets are bought and my nanny helped me with some of the food prep today. Now to get us all together and out of the house by 10 AM!

Gorgeous card, would be a perfect entry for the Oh, Alice! challenge for a chance at some free stamps. Hope T has a great birthday and that you stay sane during the zoo trip.
