We got him an adorable striped polo onesie and I made a card to coordinate with it. I decided to use this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink: Step it up: Layering in making the two cards, as well as this week's Monday with Melis Challenge, which was to create a card using the following:
1. A new to you style.
2. A cupcake or something sweet (cherries, pie, cake, candy, etc.).
3. Buttons.
4. A background stamp.
For my "new to me style" I decided to go very CAS, with some masking & colouring with watercolour pencils (things I don't do very often.) Here's my card:
So for my "step-it-up", I added some patterned paper, a few different colours & some dies & paper-piecing. I also used Sketch #7 from Sketchbook 4.
So, which one do you like better?
Thanks for looking!

Both cards are cute. I am partial to the 2nd one though. I love the soft color palette and the sewing. It reminds me of a quilt.
i l-o-v-e your stepped up version. Fantastic card!!!
These are both so sweet Leigh. I could never pick a have, but just love what you did with both. Love the little Polo onesie too :)

Leigh both cards are DARLING!!!
I am thinking we were on the same creative idea with that 1st cute elephant one, mine isnt baby, but the the LO is similar! LOL!! :)
Have a GREAT day!
I like both cards, but prefer the 2nd card. Love that quilt effect & the colors you chose.
Both cards are great, but I especially love the second one!! Love the quilted look, the patterned paper on the elephant and that big "D" :) The onesie is adorable, too!
Both cards are great, but I think I prefer the second card. It is so very 'you'.
Aw, that stepped-up card is just perfect! What a lucky baby boy (and parents!) to receive such an adorable card!
Love the CAS one! All that white space just makes me happy!
Both great cards, but I really like the second one.
Both of these cards are so sweet, Leigh! Great job hand-cutting those elements on the 2nd card. I love the pattern paper too, perfect for a new baby.
Either one is great! I'm partial to paper piecing though,and that little elephante is awesome!
Both are darling! And congrats on the PTI shout-out, too!!! Well-deserved!!!
Adorable, Leigh! I guess the second one is my favorite-I love the patchwork feel . Happy weekend!
Love them both! Super cute.
I love them both!!! Sooooo very cute!!!
Congrats on the shout-out, Leigh! Very well deserved ... love both of your cards!
Both of your baby cards are so cute. Great job on "stepping-up" with your 2nd one!!
