It so happened that the city we live in had the hospital that could give the child it's best help upon birth. Five weeks later the little babe was born and here it is going on a year later, wow,  the little baby will soon be one year old!  She is thriving and developing normally and with monitoring should lead a normal life.I could not think of any better  birthday to celebrate than her's, what a treasure she is!

'Cute Kitten' Halloween Card

Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the One Stop Craft Challenge and the theme this week  is 'Anything Goes'!  Challenge start date is Oct 20th, 2012. I used a Doodle Pantry  digital stamp set  called 'Cute Kitten' and I think the kitten is not only cute but displays a bit of poise and a lot of  attitude too!  

I think this is one of my favourite Halloween cards as it is more cute than scary and it is just what I want to send to a great nephew in Ontario.  The cat is from Doodle Pantry and is called 'Cute Kitten'. I printed out the image, coloured it and then cut it out and propped it  on the sentiment frame image. The background paper (which I love) is from 'The Four Seasons paper stack by DCWV. Added a black bow looped around a circle and popped on a dimensional bat and spider. Just so easy peasy!
