A New Baby In The Family



Earlier this month my nephew and his wife welcomed their first child into the world. I'm sure you can work out they had a little girl and called her Zoe - LOL. Unfortunately they live in Sydney so I haven't been able to give my beautiful great-niece a cuddle yet - but I did get a special ornament and card made for her. I used Mo Manning's adorable Baby Girl (with straight wispy hair) and chose similar elements on both the card and in the ornament.
I used one of the photos my nephew sent us of baby Zoe and changed it to B&W before printing it onto some textured cardstock as I didn't want it to look like a standard photo. I must have done a reasonable job as my nephew didn't recognise his own daughter at first - thinking the picture of baby in the bauble was a model - LOL. 

Copics used - R20, R11, R05, R02, R01, R00, R000, E42, E41, E40, E13, E11, E00, E000, B000, B0000, W2, W1, W00, RV000

    Wow! This is soooooo special ... and I can tell that oceans of love went into the creation! Thanks so much for the amazingly beautiful Christmas Card I received in the mail! (I am featuring it on my blog tomorrow ... I hope you don't mind!) I am so in awe! And ... am so wanting to start a Copic collection. (Am I brave enough to take the plunge?)
    I probably won't be back again before Christmas ... so I just wanted to pass on my love and best wishes for a very special Christmas ~ take care & stay safe!! I will be back to visit in 2012. (Gav is having a break between Xmas & New Year.)
    All my love, Andrea xxx

    Thank you so much, Debbie. This gift means a lot to us - I got a bit a teary when I opened it up. I've hung up the bauble in Zoe's room, and the card is on our mantle - so sweet. You are talented, for sure, but it's also the thought you put into it that makes it so special.
    Merry Christmas xo
