Today I'm playing along with the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog. There is a challenge twice a month - this time it's to make a baby card or project. I usually start thinking soft pinks and blues when I think of baby but what tripped me up was the teddy bear. When my son was born he received the softest velour teddy that was his bedtime buddy for years (Sorry Tut!! I know ... so embarrassing!!). The teddy was dressed in primary colors - so bright and cheerful. Memories of good times!
I love the "snips and snails" sentiment - Serendipity also has the "sugar and spice" for the little ladies too! Here's my finished card...

Look at the coloring on that bear! I love your story of Tut! It brought back such sweet memories. Carly had a buffalo named Buff which she loved and kept in her room for many years. I still have him saved away in my hope chest to give to her when she has a baby. I love the colors you chose for your baby card...so cute in a bright color and love the addition of the blocks and that great sentiment. Beautiful card Jeanne.
Adorable! Love the bear and they oval frame you have him in. The blocks are adorable , almost used those myself! Gorgeous non pink or baby blue card!
Glad everyone is back to good health.
Oh my goodness this is adorable Jeanne!
