You probably thought that I did not both...Hi Carol<br /><br />You probably thought that I did not bother to try to repeat your beautiful baby card, in fact I had not forgotten, my great nephew is now a couple of weeks old and I am going to see him for the first time in the morning. I have wrapped all of the little cardigans I have made for him (plus a few bought bits and bobs) and today was to be my day for making my version of your card. <br /><br />However, I have spent most of today sorting through all of my dies, and I now have 3 rhetorical questions i) why do we crafters buy so many dies? ii) I have tried several different ways of storing them and none work that well so, when you have so many, what is the best way to store them? and iii) why do these little bits of metal weigh so much? My arms and shoulders ache so much this evening from lifting heavy boxes.<br /><br />I have been meaning to sort out my dies for ages, I have so many that, so time ago, they split the large box I had them in .... and I have since bought more. Unable to find another large, strong box, I have taped up the old box and it now contains all my Bigz dies and my Big Shot accessories. I recently bought a nesting set of shoe box sized boxes and I have re-purposed these to hold most of the other dies and embossing folders. So, where there was one box there are now 4 and in all honesty there is not a lot of spare room in any of them. I have also been out this afternoon and bought a ring binder and several magnetic sheets and these now have all of my nesting Spellbinder dies - there must be almost 20 sets, bought when I first got my Big Shot and hardly ever used. And in all of these die sets I have discovered that none are as pretty as yours nor will the overlap in the way you have done here!<br /><br />I suspect that my card will, by necessity, look nothing like yours but I thank you for your inspiration. I guess now I really should actually start making my card as I have to be up very early tomorrow and cannot stay up all night crafting. Fingers crossed I actually get a card made and photographed for my blog, so you an see the end result. I am tempted to pose these questions there to see whether anyone attempts to answer my questions, ha ha!<br /><br />I hope you have a good week.<br /><br />Dionne xxDee's Craft Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03093699755346792088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-360388762556774834.post-51811881845239962512019-07-06T12:28:14.956+01:002019-07-06T12:28:14.956+01:00A lovely card!

I had to chuckle. As an American Anglican (Episcopalian), I feel your pain on the Naming Day. I have friends who have had them for their grandchildren. You were smart to Google first. I sent a card for my first experience that had a Christening sentiment. Oh the horror! lolol I was lectured about that one! I soon wised up and now just put some sort of Welcome affection... xoxoAimeslee Winanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707348882089819829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-360388762556774834.post-63044340204591599062019-05-10T06:31:50.276+01:002019-05-10T06:31:50.276+01:00A very nice card.

I love the stamp that you've used and the composition is just perfect. I've just had to make a card for a friend of our Daughter who's just given birth to triplets (Three boys.) I ended up making an 8x8 card to fit three blue prams on. She had them at 32 weeks, three weeks ago. The bigger two are now at home but the smallest is still in high dependency but is doing really well. He only weighed 1lb 12oz, bless him. They just wanted a second baby to complete their family but ended up with three more. It will be hard work for them but they are truly blessed and I know that they'll do a great job with the help of family and friends.
