I am about to enter “baby season” I know so many people who are about to have babies between October and December, but the most important baby coming is from my Sister who is due in a few weeks however I think she will have it early {like any day now}. Yesterday I went with her for the last ultrasound and I am SO excited for her to finally have this baby she has had lots of problems along the way so we all just want her to have the baby and know that everything is OK with her and the baby. It was the best ultrasound so far because we found out the sex as every other ultrasound the legs were crossed so we could not really tell and we got a pretty good look at the face and little hands….So cute.
This is not the card I will give to my Sister but it is going in the stash for one of the other babies that will be coming, I like to have cards pre-made for babies so it is already when I go and meet the new baby and see the Mummy. This was the first time I have used Nursery Necessities but it has been sitting on my shelf for a while waiting for me to make a Baby card, Once I mounted it I realised it really is not limited to a “baby card” I can use the Boat for a boy card and lots of uses for the star’s in the set but I LOVE the cute elephant which I had to use to start off with.
I am not totally loving this card because I feel like it needs something in the bottom right corner but not sure what, I played around with brads, pearls then little buttons in a line but it looked too much… So I left them off. Do you have any suggestions?
Here is the inside of my card, Just simple with a greeting from God’s Blessing which I think is such a lovely stamp set.

I love this card just the way it is, however what about a pink nappy pin in the corner….. just a thought. I do hope that it goes well for your Sister. regards Ruth
Lovely baby card Teneale. Congratulations to your sister too.
Adorable card Teneale 😀
I often have the same trouble as you have. A lot of my cards seem to need something…something else, after completing them. I would say, add a couple of short rows of paper piercing. I love how it looks, and use it all the time to fill in empty spaces or to balance off a card. Goodluck to your sister; I hope her little bundle of joy is healthy, and so is she!
Glad to hear everything is going well for your sister and her baby will be here soon! (Hopefully before the 4th of october! Lol) You’re card is gorgeous, I am loving this stamp set and may just have to have one myself.
Totally adorable card again Teneale, you make the stamp set come to life on your cards. Makes me want them! (not always a good thing, LOL!!!) Hope all goes well with your sister and new niece or nephew. Maybe some faux stitching would help, always look good on baby cards? But it is gorjus as is too.
Love the card Teneale. I like the piercing idea above. Or maybe a teeny tiny heart in the corner. Or…and now I am really pushing the boat out…but maybe you should change the letters (from the roller) to white…
This is just toooo cute Teneale. Love the colours – perfect for a beautiful baby girl.
I know how you feel about corners looking/feeling empty – but I’m not sure what else you can do here though without overbalancing the card. I know they’re not SU – but maybe you could place a little pink rhinestone in each corner and that may finish the whole card for you.
Hope all goes really well and straightforward for your sister and her little one. I was in the same situation at the end of last year with my little sister. We’d had a difficult year and she was due mid November to have her first bubba. He decided not to arrive until early December. BUT, he’s now 9 months old and has been absolutely divine since then and has a hold of all of us by the heartstrings. Took to crawling for the first time on Father’s day and is now getting into all sorts of fun mischief!! 😉
I hope your new niece/nephew brings as much joy to you and your family as Cameron has brought to ours. 🙂
Bless you. Michey
Oh I think the pink card is perfect as it is…….I love how you’ve used the wheel in the card above too….very clever! These are just beautiful Teneale:)
Hi Teneale, I’ve tried to contact you through Ang’s site but it came right back to me.. must be doing something wrong lol. You’re baby cards are cute! I would put a little heart in the bottom right hand corner, a pink one mounted on a grey slightly bigger heart, so you pick the the darker colour up somewhere else. Maybe put some crystal effects onto this little pink heart to set it of and make it look cute.
Hope all is well, I think of you often, I bet your sister has a while to wait… Oh you’re going to be BEST doting Aunty!
Hugs Angie
be sure to ring when you’re up here! You’re one special lady 🙂 Teneale
3 White brads lined up in row would work really well too
Oh Teneale, this card is gorgeous, one or three little pink hearts would look good with a bit of glitz on it, some dazzling diamonds or crystal effects and would set it off nicely I think. Can’t wait till October
