Thanks for coming and having a little look at this post, my dear friend Sue, {AuntySue in blogland,} has just had her very first grandchild, a beautiful boy, she has waited so long for this and he is a little bumper. As soon as she told me the news about it all I made a start on making a blanket for him, and then the card, I was really pleased with how it turned out.
Mo image coloured with pro markers. The standing card is from CraftStash, Papers were from eBay and the Baby die is a Sarah Davis Signature collection and its so sweet. Ribbon from Ribbon Girl pearls etc from stash.

Kept the back as CAS as poss and added a tag in the pocket with the sentiment.
This is the box I made to keep it in, I do love a boxed card don't you...
Best of all Sue said it didn't get crused, haha, I did pack everything in a big box and got it collected so all was well.
A look at the blanket I made him, for anyone interested this is the best wool for a Baby, its called Bernat Baby wool and I got mine from Wool Warehouse, its so warm and lightweight, my grandsons both still have theirs, and it crochets up like a dream, you can make one in a night or two.
Well I think thats it, sorry for the long post.

Hi Janette, don't apologise for your post! It's so interesting and your project is amazing. It must've taken ages to make; so glad the blankie didn't take that long!! CarolG
