A Preemie Hat

My boss' sister recently had a baby - very early at 27 weeks due to severe complications. Thank goodness both mother and son are doing well right now.
Having a little extra time on my hands, I whipped up this hat I found here.

For a Wedding

My girlfriend asked that I make a card for a wedding - about two days before the wedding!! Augh!!
Lucky for me i keep photos of almost all my cards so I quickly scrolled through and remembered this one.
And so, this one here was created.
Since the idea was already formed, I was able to get this card cut, embossed, tied, and stamped in about half an hour. Not too bad!!

Buttons!

Buttons are great!
Here I used buttons as ornaments, taking a simple card up one level. I tied linen thread into a bow for a nice little accent which I think really pulled the card together.
Hope you like it!

Ink: Basic Black
Paper: Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla
