My Crafter's Companion Guest Designer Cards for October - Theme 'Baby'

A5 Sized Card - New Baby Boy and New Baby Girl

Well, as a lot of my friends and crafting friends know, I was lucky enough to have won the chance to be a Guest Designer for Crafter's Companion for 3 months (until the end of the year) after entering the September Blog Challenge.

Due to the errors on the Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog my cards have still not been posted so I thought it was about time for me to add them to my Blog.  The October Challenge Theme was 'Baby' but because I couldn't decide if I should go with a girl or boy card, I did one of each.

Here are the cards I made:
