Ooh baby baby!!!

Both of my daughters’ teachers are having a baby this summer, so I’ve been busy making cards for them to send out as a thank you for all those lovely gifts they’ll be receiving. I started with baby inspired doodles but it needed something extra – a little Scarlett touch – a stitched washing line, perfect!! Sorry Adam!!
Adam (my husband and business partner) has been trying to keep me away from the sewing machine but I can’t help myself. (He says to save me from the backache which hours sitting at the machine cause, but I know its because it disturbs him watching soccer!)

A blue one for Ruby’s teacher who is expecting a boy. Holly’s teacher wants it to be a surprise so didn’t find out the sex of her baby. I made a green version of this design for her. Made up a little girl one too while I was at it.

Here is another card design I created while in baby mode. I like the look of different fonts and colours in the text and I think I’ll expand this range into other occasions. I’ll post my progress.

Ruby chose this blue laundry line design for her teacher. We used gardening twine to package 12 notecards together and added a blue bib gift tag for Ruby to write her message on.

Holly chose this text design for her teacher.
