So on to the My Favorite Things Who's That Girl Challenge (keyword MFTWTG16). The featured stamp set this week is She's Having a Baby. The challenge is to use paper piercing or stitching in your creation. I used machine stitching, as you can see. I paper pieced the dress and colored the rest of the image and sentiments with watercolor pencils and a blender pen. The dot paper is from October Afternoon and the striped pattern is from the K&Co. stack called Urban Rhapsody. Have I shared with you the extent of my paper problem? I literally cannot walk past it at Michaels when it is on sale, that is how I ended up with this stack. Blog Candy Alert
To that end, if you leave me a sweet comment on this post I will send you one of each of the patterned papers from the Urban Rhapsody stack (deadline Tues. 1/5) I know that's fast but I have lots going on this week:) That's a nice way to start off the new year, huh?Thanks for stamping by today, hope you had a happy and safe new year!

Your card is adorable, as usual! Keep up the great inspiration!
I love your blog, so warm and inviting! I'm a Stampin' Up! demo, but you've got me seriously considering purchasing some MFT stamps because of the great cards you make.
Love your card, Laura! The colors are warm and beautiful and made me think, uhhh, they don't know if it is a boy or a girl!
Can't wait to hear the news.

Hmm, I apologize if this ends up being a duplicate posting...I got an error message the first time.
Anyway, just wanted to say that I love your card and the stitching is great. I have yet to try any stitching on a card....it intimidates me a little!

Such a pretty card! Love the soft colours!!
Love your blog background paper and all your beautiful work!
Heheheh! I'm fairly certain I have been blessed with the same "paper problem" lol Or at least my hubby thinks so anyway. Your card is darling and I am in need of inspiration such as this card at this very moment. One of my son's teachers just had her baby boy and the director at the same school is due in a few weeks. I'm off to go gather supplies to create their gifts. Thank you for all you do to inspire us each day!!
Happy New Year Laura!! What a great card for somebody who is expecting a somebody special. Very sweet!
I'm looking forward to seeing your creations of 2009!!
TFS!!
