Welcome Baby

At my office, we have lots of little Iowa Hawkeye babies born, so I decided to make a baby card using the team colors using this week's Share Joy Challenge Sketch at Taylored Expressions.

Time to Get Merry & Rock!

A little paper piecing and coloring with Spectrum Noir markers, and it came together quickly. It's also Anything Goes at Seize the Birthday.
