I simply can not believe that in just under a month I will be sharing in the experience of an Incentive Trip with several hundred other Demonstrators from around the globe … but it was all made very true when my travel documents arrived on Friday.
I did a rather prolonged Happy Dance around our living room and nearly kissed the UPS Delivery guy when he handed them over.
Well, right now, we from the Grand Vacation Blog Hop, would like to welcome you aboard this hop for a journey of your own … one that we know as … April's Baby Love.
This week, a friends daughter will be taken in to deliver her first child … a baby girl … and a baby who's been wanted for many, many years. With her in mind, I set to creating this little gift box of notecards. They are 4" square and I've made two of each to fill the little gift box.
The mother isn't a bows and frills kind of girl, but more plain, simple and natural, so I chose a very neutral colour palette of Tip Top Taupe and Sahara Sand and coupled it with the softness of Very Vanilla and Pink Pirouette.
I've not long purchased this Stamp Set and just adore the little characters.
I couldn't think of a more fitting sentiment than this …
… until I saw this ...
Oh my, they really are all just so adorable and given a touch of colour using Blender pens and/or Aqua Brushes, their characters were brought to life.
I was tempted to start adding all sorts of embellishments to make this share less simple, but I hope I've shown just how sometimes simplicity can just hit the mark and be perfectly fitting for that special person.
I hope you've enjoyed this share and I hope you'll head over to the Blogs of the other Mediterranean Achievers, who I'll have the pleasure of meeting in less than a month. I can't wait and I thank all of those who have supported me in achieving this. I am most certainly going to go and enjoy it to the max.
Thanks for popping by and if you're another of the Achievers, I look forward to sharing in this experience soon.
