A couple of baby cards.....

I had so many unfinished projects on my desk I have been determined to actually finish some of them and clear up.....am I succeeding?




 and then a pink one....




made using Sue Wilson pieced rectangles...spellbinders cascading hearts for the background....Sues New arrivals onesie dies and the two stamps Prince George and Princess Charlotte...paper pieced using pink pettycoat papers...tying to keep them simple without lots of layering as my post office has closed in the village and the post box will only take a maximum 7x7 size card..so smaller cards for me as the next post office is 15 miles away...great!
Hope you are having a lovely day today and thank you for popping by myblog
