First card this year - Whose Babies Are You?

Hi everyone, at last I have a card to show! My mojo went AWOL what with Christmas and the flu and everything, but a challenge set by my good crafting friend Sara (SaraBee from DoCrafts) to use a photograph on a card got the inspiration going.  I also had some fab new digi papers that I won in a blog candy that I was really eager to use and this tempted my mojo back home.

Renkata from Scrap & Stamp With Friends (don't you think that's the nicest blog title?) offered some blog candy recently which I was lucky enough to win.  She gave gift certificates from Nitwitcollections.com as candy, so I bought a bundle of papers and scrapping images which you'll see on my card - the 2 papers, the patchwork border and the hearts were all part of the bundle. They're so yummy and just beg to be used.  Thanks again, Renkata, I love the candy :)   I added a bit of bling in the form of pearls to finish it all off.

Now, can you guess who the little girl is?  You might have seen her photo in blogland already, lol.  I thought this would be a fun idea for a valentines card for the little boy, what do you think? 






I am entering this card in a few challenges.
Using the new papers I got from the blog candy:
Pollycraft Challenge - New Things
Cupcake Craft Challenge - Something New
Creative Cottage - Something New

The Love theme:
The Secret Crafter - With Love
Lexis Creations - Say It With Love
Southern Girls - Totally Loved Up


The pearls:
Ooh La La Creations Challenges - Bling It On

The sentiment:
Aud Sentiment Challenge - 2-word sentiment

Happy New Year to you all.
