Congrats!

This past weekend my brother and his wife announced they were pregnant with their first child!   Here's the card I created for them:



The Paper Smooches color combo worked out perfectly since my brother is an UCLA Bruin.  The bird and branch are Paper Smooches freebies.  The pattern papers are from TBAB's digital kit.  I didn't want to cover up the chevron paper so I broke out the blue American Crafts velum paper I've had forever and a day.   The blue ric rack ribbon is also ribbon I was hoarding; it's by Making Memories.
I created the circular sentiment; printed twice and popped the center.  I should have printed a little smaller...live and learn. :)
