I don't know about you, but this sweet card, (featuring our retired Hush a Bye Collection) and the reason behind it from Kristin Wilson brought a tear to my eye. Here's what Kristen says:
There is a very special card that I would love to share with you. It was made for my friend who recently gave birth to her first child, a baby boy. She suffered several miscarriages before this blessed birth. :) Knowing her struggles I wanted to make her something very special. In a sea of manufactures products that live in my studio there was no other choice than to use my Melissa Frances products. The soft subtle colors and shabby goodness were exactly what I was looking for. With out a sketch or any real idea in mind I just let the products inspire my creativity. This is the card that I came up with.
What a beautiful card Kristin. I'm sure that your friend really appreciated your support and love during such an important moment in her life.
absolutely beautiful card. Thanks for sharing..

This is so much more than a card, it is a keepsake for your friend. Years down the road she will look at it and still feel the gift of love you created. Hope to see a lot more of your things in the future.

Such a beautiful card. Is the saying from a rubber stamp?

Your cards/projects are just beautiful and my eye keeps catching another dimension or embellishment that all adds up to a beautiful theme.

This is beautiful beyond words. Our daughter-in-law has had lots of gynae problems and we are all praying Anna will birth the baby she is expecting in September. We are trying so hard not to get too excited at the wonder of becoming first time Grands, but my heart is just singing with joy and happiness right now. A card along the lines of yours would be so right for Anna and Edward's baby; would you mind me putting something similar together?
Thank you for a fabulous place to visit... so much beauty and inspiration in one place.
