Many of you already know SIL is pregnant with the first baby in the family...she's due in early 2007. Having never had a baby myself, I'm only speculating, but I imagine there comes a time when you just feel kind of "yuck." I wanted to send her a card to let her know how beautiful she is and what an amazing job she's doing in helping prepare this little one for the world. We unfortunately live far away from she and hubby, so cards and emails have to suffice!
It's also my first time using glitter...yay! I think I'm in love! This card is all about impulse buys...the $1 stamp and ribbon is from Michael's - I stopped in to buy adhesive this afternoon and look what I left with I've so admired all the cards in the gallery made with this stamp and just had to peek to see if they had one left...and they did! My lucky day!
TFL!

What a cute card. What a wonderful SIL you must be! When I read your title all I could picture was a baby in glitter.

This is so gorgeous! I LOVE how you made the bigger frame with Around and About. The glitter panel is awesome against the paisley background. She'll get such a smile out of this.

Meg, that's a great card! You are so totally right about the time in the pregnancy when you feel like "yuck" but this card should totally make her feel beautiful and loved. I bought that same ribbon on my last Micheals visit I just haven't used it yet.
