My niece just had her second baby, a little girl, and so I got busy making her a card. I pulled out a very, very old paper pad by Debbie Mumm that a friend of mine gave to me when my 9 year old granddaughter was born. The pad had some funny, whimsical animal images, but I only had a partial image left over, so I framed it, with a square die set that hid the skewed edges. Digging through my scrap heap uncovered some patterns that coordinated with the image fairly well. I heat embossed the sentiment and added seam binding ribbon, some twine and a tiny safety pin that I colored with alcohol marker. That safety pin is at least 10 years old so it was nice to use it. Now I only have 14 more pins left!

Such a sweet card Karen - and I do love the added safety pin. Clever idea to colour it. It's ages since I used ribbon on a card as you've done - at one time all my cards had ribbon down the spine!Must do it again as it does lift a card to another dimension.
