Vintage Baby Carriage

I did it. I finally jumped on the BasicGrey band wagon! The paper is from the Urban Prairie collection - and I think it might be my favorite one so far!

With this card, I tried to not do too much with it and really let the paper shine and let the shape of the card do the talking. The card opens from the side and the bunnies are adhered to the other side of the card, kinda just sitting there when you open it up. Aren't they cute?

I thought of my Audrey when I created this card -- and how (embarassingly) she naps in her $700 stroller everyday, unless we're out in the car. Yes, we have our Bugaboo in our bedroom, lol -- and I have to push her to sleep everyday!

She is really taking a liking to her "Bella" and Elmo whenever she naps lately. She talks to them and plays with them for a bit and then asks me to take them away before she drifts off to sleep herself. In the last few months, she's really grown to be so sweet, so well-behaved, so considerate of everyone around her - be it mommy or daddy or her dollies. She's just a little, pint-sized girl with a big, big heart full of love. Mama couldn't be any prouder! :D

    So then I'm just gawking at all of your creations on your blog and stopped at this one, and called in my 13 y/o son to see it! Like he really cares, but I just think it's SO adorable! He did say it was cute, by the way! LOL!
