My 200th post! An Elzybell baby card

I can't believe its my 200th post already...where does time go?  Its also my 1 year blogaversary this month, so stay tuned for some great Blog candy later next week!!

I am sooooo excited that my Elzybells are finally here.  It seemed to take forever for them to get here.  My local store has  a few A Muse stamps, but they are just now starting to order Elzybells.  Well, helloooo.  I want them NOW!!  So, I had to order online when everyone else did and it seems the whole world ordered them that week :)  And I have to confess, I ordered way more than I should have.  I am blaming that on the photo that Rhonda M took after her spree...it was so enticing to see that great big pile!   Rhonda, you enabler!

This first card actually has a destination this week.  Its a congratulations card for my blogging friend Libby Hickson over at Libby's Little Addiction.  Hey Libby if you are back catching up yet!!  She gave birth to a beautiful  baby girl, Courtney, this week.  I have a little something else for her that I'll save as a suprise in case she is reading this!  I'll share that goodie later next week too.

For the girl on the moon stamp, I stamped her in Palette Hybrid Noir (speaking of which, did you hear the news on Nichole's blog about Papertrey?  WOW!) on Papertrey Stampers select white.  She is colored with my copic markers and I added a bit of sponging in Pretty in Pink to soften it up a bit.  The pattern paper strip is from Heidi Grace and is matted on SU! Close to Cocoa.  The card base is SU! Whisper WHite and the polka dot paper is from AC Moore, brand unknown.  The ribbon IRL matches way better than it photographs, its Pretty in Pink tafetta from SU!  The sentiment is from Nursery Necessities and is punched out with the Word Window punch.

Thanks for visiting!  Please feel free to say hi :)    -Cyndi
