Welcome Baby!

Good Monday morning!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready to start a great week!!  Positive attitude right?! ;)  It's Kitchen Sink Stamps Monday and I've been itching to try out these fabulous postcard-size coasters Maria is carrying in the KSS store for a limited time.  You can't beat the price and size it perfect for a quick little note.

I used Connie's Friday sketch from the KSS forum and used my own Word of the Week challenge as well. The word to create with this week is "Birthday" so I naturally thought of the very first birthday, the actual birth!  This was pretty quick to whip up and I love the fact that since it's a postcard, it can be slipped right into a baby book or scrapbook afterwards very easily!  I actually even played along with Makiko's challenge this week and did some sponging on the card - eeeeek!!!  :)


I used Multi-Step Baby which has wonderful vintagey images like these blocks, plus lots of words and phrases to mix & match for the perfect sentiment! 

Hope over to the KSS Forum when you get a chance, and of course, don't forget to pop in on the rest of the Crew today!! Have  a wonderful Monday!
