Love 'Notes"

Today I have a different sort of a masculine card from my 'norm'
....a bit of a 'love one!

For this card I used one of the very newly released dies from
Tutti Designs 'Saxophone'.


Very clean and simple with a stitched black star behind
and a glittery saxophone.....
tiny read hearts coming out of the horn and
a perfect stamped image for a sweetheart of a man!!

On another 'note' (teehee)
this is where I spent  all day yesterday in the hospital
with my daughter and granddaughter waiting patiently
for this little sweet heart to arrive...
we left the house around 3:30 am and I
returned around 7pm...lets just say it was a
tense day as things didn't go as planned,
as my granddaughter Ally was high risk...
but in the end we were blessed with this little
beauty

Meet Malaika  (pronounced malika and means 'angel' in Swahili (spelling?)..lol )
born at 2:25pm (C section in the end)
weighing 8#'s 6oz and 19" long.....the sweetest baby...
and making me once again a great granny!!
(look at those chubby cheeks..oh my!!)
