Baby Card for My Longest-Known Pal

My friend that I've known since we both moved to the same neighborhood in 4th grade is having her second child. She was scheduled to be induced today, but ended up having her baby last Wed, but I had already planned to post this card today so...here it is!

Since I don't have any boy design paper, I made a special trip to the scrapbook store to pick up this Doodlebug paper. It was down to either this paper or a doggie-themed paper, and hubs said he liked this one better. I figured since he was nice enough to come with me and follow me all around the store, I should go with his suggestion.

I layered the Memory Box scored notecard with random kraft cardstock that I got from a stamp store sale about, oh, 3 years ago. I hoard this one as I don't have much left (but luckily, Jamie and I discovered PTI's kraft cardstock recently, so all is good and I don't have to hoard anymore).

I cut light blue paper with Nesties Labels 1, and then ran it through the Cuttlebug Spots and Dots folder. The onesie was paper-pieced with Martha Stewart paper and I stuck a little Making Memories brad through to complete the onesie. Ironically, my friend that I'm making this card for is the one that gave me the button brad...this seems to be a theme with me - I used ribbon she gave me on her birthday card set. hehe...
