Totally pretty...Ugh...overdue. I was with my first...long mall walks...and bumpy car rides notwithstanding...she came when she was ready...she's now 19 and still stubbourn...she must get that from her Dad. Lee-Ann :)
ReplyDeleteHi Court, that is a cute card you made. I really like the color combo together and the big polka dot paper (I heart polka dots for some reason lol). Hang in there hun, when babies come late, its their way of gifting mom with a few more days of rest of relaxtion before they enter our world-LOL. Both of my kids came after their due date...one actually had to be induced she was so stuborn, it was her way then and her way now (total diva). Take care,

I'm always looking for cute ideas for thank you cards and this is a winner. Of all my kids I only carried one to the due date and she was the easiest baby to give birth too. Worth the wait sometimes. Get some more rest . Regina
ReplyDeleteThis is great! They'll definitely want to pick this one up.

I love the card. I was hoping you was in the hospital having that little girl since you haven't been on for a couple days. When that little bundle of joy does make her grand entrance into the world she will be well worth the wait. Good luck to you and the hubby. Come on little one, we are all waiting to see pictures of you. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love what you made. I would pick it.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting you will be a mom soon. Praying your delivery goes well.
Beautiful Court,Praying for you that you don't have to wait too much longer for your baby girl to arrive!
ReplyDeleteHi Court! I'm sure this gorgeous card will be published. You have a special class that is incomparable. Many good wishes for your baby's birth day...it's all in their own time.
ReplyDeleteGreat card friend. Wishing you some fast labor thoughts.
ReplyDeletewhat a stylish card in that fantastic colour combo
ReplyDeleteGreat card Court, I like the colors you used---it has a real modern look to it!! Best of luck getting it published, it should be!! And good luck with the baby & delivery....the waiting is tough! Will say some prayers for you & your family!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Court as always. Praying your baby is healthy and your delivery is smooth
ReplyDeleteNice! I love the stitching on the one side :)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what being overdue is like as I've only ever been 'very' early. It won't be too long now and so very exciting... can't wait to see photos of your precious little bundle.
ReplyDeleteAs for the card... another stunning display of your handywork. :)
My boy came a week late (after being induced). I chose to have my girl a week early after that. ;-) Wishing you a speedy and SAFE delivery!!!
