CONGRATULATIONS IT'S A GIRL

 Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Today I have a new baby girl's birth card for my nephew and his wife for my new great niece, baby Grace.

Today I'm using one of April's sketches for 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

Sketch #324

This is an easy sketch, there are layers upon layers of squares and then a rectangular image and some half-square triangles on the corners.  You can use your dies, but if you don't have them, these can be either cut by hand or on a cutter. 

 Here's a quick look at the inside of the card.

Don't forget to check out Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 for the design teams' work, as well as to enter our challenge.

 We would love to see you.
