My niece, Heidi's third bambino, Marko is on his way at the end of March and her baby shower is this coming Saturday. And of course, I had to make a card to go with the pressie. Once again I used a new stamp, the cute butterfly stamp I also got through a recent Xmas swap I took part in. This time, Laura's Sketch No.18 over at 2S4Y got me going with this one. If you ever feel like your Mojo is leaving you to your own devices, just hop over to 2S4Y and get inspired by the very talented Laura and Kazan's sketches every week. I also carried the card's theme through to the inside and even went overboard with the theme on the front of the envelope. The octagonal shape of the butterfly is from one of Doing Life's Online Shoppe's template.

Mmm .... can already visualise the mad dash to leave comments. Thanks again for all your interest here at Doing Life. You all make for one happy crafter.
