When a healthy paper stash becomes very handy....

Last weekend, I realized with fright, that I had all of my mother's day cards finished up, but that I'd forgotten a very important card.... one for my sweet baby niece who was being baptized.

And this, my friends, is when being a cardmaker becomes particularly handy. And, having a wide "collection" of stamps, paper and embellishments at hand is particularly useful.

I used this darling sentiment from Clearly Sentimental About Babies and reached for my MFT Die-namic Jumbo Scallops. Of course, I have quite the stash of Quite Contrary paper from My Minds Eye.

This luscious ivory ribbon is MFT's Birthday Bash Ribbon and I used a bit of TCP's Linen Thread to accent my main panel.

Here's hoping you have a wonderful day today! I'm off to chase the boys around at the ball fields for the morning, and then get ready for my husband to return from his trip tonight! HOORAY!
