Guest Blogger at Liz's Paper Loft

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a fabulous week!
I am guest blogging today at Liz's Paper Loft. She has had a little shoulder surgery and while recovering she has asked some of her fellow bloggers to create some posts for her. I gladly volunteered.
I made this little card today for my friend Shauna. She just had a bouncing baby girl! Congratulations Shauna!
Recipe:
Baby and Buggy cut from Baby Steps Cartridge at 3 3/4 inches
Patterned Paper-DCWV
Cardstock & Ribbon- Papertrey Ink
Buttons from stash

I added glossy accents to her eyes(forgot to add the white first LOL) and stickles to her bow and heart 


Liz has some exciting news to share with you, but not quite yet. However, in the meantime, while she's recovering, she is reading every comment! Not only is she reading them, she's counting them, because at the end of all this, she will have two announcements! The first will be a winner of some exciting BLOG CANDY! The second, it's a big one...and no, she's not coming out with stamps...you just have to wait and see!
Thanks so much Liz for having me as a guest today! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
