In Case of Emergency...

I am participating in a card swap with a theme of caffeinated drinks.  I was going to go with coffee but came across this paper in my stash.  From there I found this uninked stamp set from Stamposaurus that I quite like.  It makes me think of my DMIL, whom I'm sure you've guessed by now, is British.

This standard 4.25 x 5.5 inch card has two pockets on the front.  I've tucked in a packet of David's green tea for my swap sister to enjoy.  There is a second pocket that could be used for a gift card if the card was going to be used as a gift.

I always worry that my swap cards are not elaborate enough so hopefully everyone will enjoy it.  My next set will definitely be coffee related though.

Royal Baby

My cousin had a baby girl this week and there is no doubt in my mind that she will be a true princess.  Her daddy is ga-ga over babies, especially little girls.  When he was 16, he would make my mother wait so he could kiss my baby sister goodbye; go hang being cool.  He's an amazing dad.  Anyways, I just know she is going to have Daddy wrapped around her little finger.  I wanted a card that was going to reflect her royal status in the household.  The card will actually be given by my brother - remember his request?

The onsie stamp is a Studio G that I couldn't pass up because it makes baby cards so easily.  The crown image is from England, Stamposaurus, part of a Keep Calm set that I love but have not used.  Isn't that sad?  I had my mother-in-law ship it to me.  The sentiment is from Gina K.
