Hi Everyone, my card today was requested by a neighbour, her granddaughter is expecting a baby in a few weeks. My neighbour had a hand operation recently and as a card maker, couldn't make it herself. She came over, and I showed her a few images and stamps etc, for her to choose then we got on with designing it, with 99% of her input, it was her card after all.
The theme of her granddaughter for the baby boy she is expecting is, Jungle! Beige and cream. I found this old 2003 image, Yep! I keep 99% of my images, so have a "few" digital images. Anyhow, I die cut the image, the balloons and their "shadows" also the frame with my Cameo, then layered all the images and frame, (I cut 3 of each).
The frame was added to the printed background onto the card, then the Jungle image was added to hang over the frame, the balloons were layered and added behind the printed and cut balloons. It took us over 3 hours to design, cut and for her to take it home with her. Although in that time I had finished another card she had brought for a birthday this weekend. It was so nice to have someone to enjoy crafting with and, we had fun too.

You must have millions of saved images I don't think I have ever seen the same element twice in all the years of following your blog.!!!! What a fantastic card and I bet your neighbour was spoilt for choice trying to choose elements from your extensive library. You both did a great job and I just love all of those cute little animals.
