Baby gifts...

One of my favourite things to make is picture frames. I don't know why...I just find them so rewarding! : )

Here is a frame I made for a good friend that emigrated to Australia. They had a beautiful baby girl, Ella. Since I don't get to make a lot of pink things ( I have two boys), I wanted to go nuts with the pink, but used a little green to tone it down! I also made a matching card.

Ingredients: all Stampin' Up! Whisper White and Pink Pirouette cardstock, Old olive and white ribbon, scalloped edge punch, fire crystal brads, crystal effects, Flower Fusion felt flowers, purely pomegranate ink and Raspberry Tart designer paper.
