Hi and Happy Thursday! Wow this week is just flying by! Today I'm playing along with the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. I'm running close too because entries need to be in by Friday! I made this card for some friends who are expecting their first baby soon. They had some troubles along the way but they are keeping their eyes on the prize - that beautiful baby girl who is going to make it worth all the effort! 
I stamped the bottom "patterned" paper with the accent stamp from Oval Classic Frames set. Claire is great for sneaking in lots of little stamps to fill up the package. And while I love this (we wouldn't have all those great accents) - I am cursed with my inability to focus on where I place the smaller elements I work with. SIGH... Yes... I did loose my safety pin stamp - which forced me to clear off my desk, and then empty the garbage can, all in vain, since I found the little bugger right on the clear acrylic stamping block tucked behind the lamp on my desk. How it got there I will never know. As my husband would say - "it is exactly where you left it". I would argue that there are gremlins or pixies or some other elements at work in my craft space... but now that it is back safe and sound and put away I can relax. Oh and hey - did I mention my desk is clean?
I hope you find some time to play today - if you'd like to play along you can get all the details here: http://waltzingmousesketchchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/02/challenge-85february-18-2012.html.

Absolutely wonderful! Your friends will treasure this card - the background stamping is so pretty, but it's the little wreaths with the safety pin tags that I adore. I think I spy a winner here!!
Your post did make me laugh too - those little stamps do tend to make a bid for freedom. I thought I'd lost the tiny shamrock leaves from the Celtic set - I was so sad. But I found it about a week later hiding behind some paper on my desk :) I didn't put it there!!!
Ooooh you crack me up with the story about the stamp, whaaaa, it's hilarious!
Love your card. Great stamping, sweet pink and a great bow!
Great job!
Jeanne, I LOVE those tiny tags and the mini bows. This is beautiful, but I just adore little details like those. So lovely!
This is beautiful Jeanne, a perfect baby girl card.
Gorgeous pink baby card Jeanne! Glad you found your stamp and desk is clean. I hope all will be well for the new baby girl. I love all the beautiful details you put on your card. Im still looking for my small heart die. Have a great day!
Beautiful stampings on this sweet baby girl card Jeanne! love the safety pin labels!
A gorgeous baby card! Love those tiny little pink bows! Darling little saftey pin labels, too!
Oh, Jeanne, Jeanne, Jeanne, look what you have done. You found my weak spot for babies and especially pink for sweet little girls. You are so creative with those little safety pins dangling from the circle images. You know you have my vote for Top Mouse, don't you?
So sweet in pink, Jeanne! You do wonders with that teeny little safety pin image :) Love the stamped background to match the little wreaths...oh, and those sweet BOWS! Love this baby card!
What a treasure!
The parents to be will love this and congratulations to them!! :)

I'm in love with the teeny tags in the wreaths--SO sweet! And the satin & velvet is just the right touch! This is such a marvelous baby card. I'm sure the parents will cherish it.
Oh what a sweet card Jeanne! Love the beautifully stamped background and all the little rhinestones! Thanks for joining along with the WMSC :)
What a great idea to have the safety pins hanging from the wreaths! And so much great pinkness on this card :)
