Boy or girl?

I was originally going to show you another little project but since I haven't shown a card in a few days, I decided to go with the card instead. We have friends who are expecting twins, a boy and a girl. I made this card as her shower card.

After looking at it, I figured it would also be good as a card for someone who didn't know who was having a boy or a girl. Since we have several friends expecting, I made a few more.

The image is from TAC and she's colored with prismacolor markers. I paper pieced her dress with patterned paper. I haven't done a lot of piecing but found it to be pretty easy.

I used the cuttlebug for the background - originally I ran the pink and blue through separately and then cut in half. Unfortunately, if you look close you'll see why this isn't the best idea - the words are slightly off. So the second time around, I cut the cardstock ahead of time, used a little tape to tack the two colors together and then ran it through the cuttlebug - worked much better this way.

Tomorrow starts my craft fair. For my local readers, hope to see you there sometime this week. I should be checking in through the week - I have projects lined up for the week.
