Hi Everyone
Happy Tuesday .. .. another day nearly done and dusted.
I had a thank-you card order collected today and decided I would make a quick "new baby" card before starting the next batch of "thank you cards". What a lovely polite set of "happy couples" I have been working for. All remembering their manners!
So I printed off my image and thought . . . should I make a boy or a girl card? Through choice I would always make a boy card. I don't know why but I always like the look of the boy cards more once finished .. .. so I decided it had better be a girl card.
I make my card .. .. take my pictures and just opened up the Digistamp website for linking only to find I have used "Bathtime Fynn" .. .. a boy baby .. .. on a baby girl card!!! What am I like? I am going to have to make a tiny pink bow and stick it on Flynn's head!!! LOL!!!
This used:
Image: Digistamp Boutique "Baby Fynn" (whoops!!!)
Sentiment: Computer generated using font Mister Sirloin
Backing Papers: Digistamp Boutique "Ditsy Rose Papers"
Sizzix Die: "657188" Tiny Tabs and Tags
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
ProMarker
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon from my stash box
I will now hang my head in shame and link my creation up to the Digistamp Boutique Competition for August and also into the Papertake Weekly Challenge where they want you to create a card for an occassion .. .. and what better occasion than the arrival of a new baby .. .. whatever sex it is!!!
Now to put people out of their misery regarding my Sunday Snippet card. Quite a few of you contacted me asking about the image and sentiment I used. I think I have managed to let everyone know who asked but a few more enquiries have come since .. .. so here you go:
and the sentiment .. .. well I feel a bit guilty about this now because it was free on a magazine years ago. It was as the "Born To Shop" range was launched. But if you keep your eyes open on Ebay it does quite often make an appearance there. I don't want to start a bidding war but there are a few available here at the moment (and I hasten to add that none of them are mine!!)
OK I am off now to add a pink ribbon to Baby Fynn .. .. poor chap :-( .. .. I hope I don't inflict any lasting damage on him
Have a lovely evening everyone.
Love

I think Flynn can pass very well for a girl! Even without a bow! Wonderful coloring! I love the iridescent bubbles!
I don't think you'll give Baby Fynn a complex - I wouldn't worry!!
The yellow balances out the pink beautifully and it's a lovely welcome to a little girl!
This is adorable Jules, I think Baby Fynn looks just fine as a little girl, especially with his paper pieced flowery bath!

Hi Jules,
it doesn't matter if it is a boy or girl it is just beautiful. I love the way you have coloured the bubbles.
Hope you have had a lovely day. xx
P.s the vinegar was 'draft' !!
Ha ha I am sure Flynn will survive, nice card xx
Well, gosh. Can't Fynn be a girl's name?? ;-) Oh well, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything about the little guy. He or she is adorable!! Love all the pink too!
Ha, ha Jules - the baby looks fine to me as a boy or girl, although a little bow would look very cute. Beautiful card!
Lola Rose is very like Stamping Bella images - wonder which came first? Happy to report I have the Born to Shop sentiment, as you say free with a magazine.
Hugs, Di xx
Hi Jules, Love the card what a cutie image. If this little chap grows up with a complex though we know who's fault it is....lol
Huge hugs Mau xx
Hi Jules, gorgeous little baby card, you would never know it was a boy stamp!

Flynn may have to be renamed Flynnia or something similar! teehee
Cute little image and no doubt will be easily fixed with the addition of the bow!
Awww this is so cute.

LOL Jules, we'd never have known the image was originally meant as a boy..it's such a cute card, love it! As a fellow Pink Petticoat fan, I would say to anyone take a look at their site..it's all so fab! Hugs, Carole Z X

LOL, don't all babies look the same when they are born? Easy mistake to make hehehe!
Super cute though, I am pretty sure Fynn can be either a boy or girl name, though!!!
