Welcome Baby-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

Hello, and welcome to the March Coffee and Cards with Celeste and Deb collaboration. This month we are joined by another fun guest designer, our friend MariLynn. In honor of the arrival of my newest grandchild, Madelyn Celeste (seriously...how precious is she?), we opted to feature baby cards!
To create my card I started by die cutting a piece of white cardstock using a stitched edge rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs and popped it up off of my card using some inexpensive fun foam I picked up at Hobby Lobby. Using patterned paper from the Authentique Delightful 6x6 paper pad I layered on a circle that I cut using a Spellbinders circle die and a sweet fishtail banner that I created using a Jillian Vance die. To help add some visual contrast I added some black dashed lines around the circle and fishtail banner. I then stamped the images from the Lawn Fawn Critters Down Under stamp set onto some white Copic-friendly cardstock and colored them using my alcohol markers. I then stamped the sweet little scrolled banner from the Reverse Confetti Beautiful Banners stamp set and then stamped the sentiment from the same Lawn Fawn set. To complete my card I adhered all of the images straight down onto the card base. 
As for my coffee choice I opted for my standard Seattle's Best Coffee French roast in the mug my son and his wife got me for Christmas in honor of me being a grandma again!
To see what Deb and MariLynn created be sure to pop on over to their blogs and leave them a little blog love in the way of a comment! Have a great rest of your weekend and thank you for visiting my blog!

Well, there was a sweet baby card and I was all set to leave you my compliments, Celeste, but then you went and showed me the most beautiful newborn baby girl and all thoughts of your card flew out of my head! Congratulations to you and the new parents! (Love the cup, too!) And how special her name is!! ❤️Hugs, Darnell
