Baby Boy Cards

Well my friend Lesley at work has just became a Grandma, so I made the bottom card for Lesley & her husband and the top card is for the proud parents. I've spent most of the weekend on/off with these cards, I fuss too much when it's for someone I know. It's also gave me the chance to try out my nestabilities and I do love them, but will have to wait to get more of them. Thanks for looking and I hope you're all having a great weekend. Hugs Jill x
