It's Baby time

Two of my nieces are having babies, here is the deal...neither one wants to know the gender of their baby before it is born...so for gift card holders..i tried to go a bit yellow and green.  I have used the criss/cross template and a stampin up punch (looks like a "c" slit) to hold the gift card in place.

I will share both of my gift cards:

Everyday Sweetness Pocket style

I think i've fallen in love with the sentiment, Everyday Sweetness..it can encompass different feelings in a sentiment i think...like  Thank you, Birthday, Everyday card..Thinking of you..it works well.  I first saw the sentiment in a Magnolia Ink magazine...i think it was a rub-on and i didn't have that so i made my own computer generated sentiment...and that way i could change the colors to match my paper.

I also colored my image based on a Tilda illustration in the current Magnolia Ink p65 of Artist Christine . (If you see this, Thank you)

The image i am using is simply called, "Tilda with Bananas" and the memories this image has is special...my mom, who rarely is "funny", but usually serious put a banana sticker on her forehead and started singing the Chiquita banana jingle...i still smile every time i see a banana sticker on a bunch of bananas.  So this one card is with that memory in mind:
