This card is for a Dutch friend and his wife – who we understand are having a baby boy very soon.   We first met Maarten, on the campsite in France, when he was 8 and he             became friendly with both our sons.   He has stayed with us several times in England over Christmas and now that we have sold our caravan he visits us on the way to the campsite, when he drives his Mum down.

I used the LOTV image – Baby Blanket – coloured it with Copics and Promarkers and cut around it with Spellbinders Majestic Squares.   The heart corner die is from La La Land and I embossed it.   The sentiment and the 2 small sentiment tags are from LOTV and the       papers, ribbon, lace, gems and small feet charm are from my stash.   I wanted to write the sentiment in Dutch – but gave up when it became too difficult!!

 I would like to enter my card into these challenges –
