I made this card to bring to work to pass around for signatures for a work baby shower. My friend who is having the baby has decided to not find out the sex, so I went for a blue or pink theme, using the Mashup at this week's Friday Mashup challenge.
First, I want to show you the inside because I was so pleased with myself when I thought of the plan. As you likely know, the traditional size for handmade cards doesn't leave a ton of room for passing a card around an office to get lots of signatures. So I added a flap to the inside. THEN, and this is the adorable part. I made it themed... so you are supposed to sign by the pink footprints if you think she's going to have a girl, and by the blue ones if you think she's having a boy:
And this is how I put together the front:

My best friend from college is having a girl this December, and her shower was this past weekend. Since I rarely make cards ahead of time, and I fell in love with the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches at first sight, it seemed like a perfect combo.
My friend is due on Dec. 23, and I'm a Christmas baby myself, so I am so hoping she'll have the most perfect Christmas present ever this year. But I digress... here's how I brought my card together:
The T is for their last name. The actual name is being kept secret until the birth.
This was the second card I made... well, I didn't finish the first, but it wasn't headed in the right direction.
