Less is More-Monogram

Hello folks ,

Saturday mornings for me include popping onto the LIM blog to see the new weeks challenge and then I can have maximum thinking time for a design , which usually pops into my head when I'm in the shower but that's another story , lol .
I was beginning to think I would never get a card idea for this weeks Monogram challenge as we have no weddings or anniversaries coming up then I thought about items that could be monogrammed and eventually arrived at this idea

I thought with a 'B' for baby, this card would be very usable in the future .
I used the cricut to cut the onesie and shaded the edges with Tattered Rose distress ink . The background pattern is an a.muse stamp I've had ages . I've used brads to attach some twine and used foam pads to attach the onesie to the card front :)
Sorry about picture quality, if you click on it , it looks clearer. Does anyone else have this problem or is it my camera skills ?

Hope this is acceptable for a monogram card .

I will get round to commenting as much as I can this week as I have a busy week with my birthday tomorrow ( yes 21 ..... again ) lol , and a university open day to go to which means overnight at  relatives .

Thanks for looking X

  7. Oooh! I've had a similar idea in my head for a while but this is really special. The Kraft card makes it so different from the usual baby card.

  13. This is so sweet, Jenny! I love that little hanger (is it a die cut?). It's actually Blogger who's messing with the photo quality. Unless you upload from Flickr or other storage facility, Blogger is having its way with us. Yup, pretty annoying. :(

  16. Hi Jenny

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

    I hope you have a lovely day.

    Your card is gorgeous as always. Love everything about it!!

    A few people have been mentioning blurred photographs on their blog that improve when you click on them .. .. but strangely enough they look clear anyway on my screen!?!? Not sure what that is all about?

    Have a happy day.

    Love Jules xx

  18. Really super card - love the babygrow!! Really soft, pretty colour and the monogram B is perfect!

    Your picture is clear - I always click to see the images larger - more to do with my eyesight than the quality of the photo!!
