Welcome, Baby Lila Grace

 

As you should know by now, Jennifer McGuire had her much-anticipated bundle of joy earlier this month, and her name is Lila Grace.

Welcome, Baby Lila!!!

Jana Millen, Jennifer's best friend, decided it would be nice to collect cards for her that can all be viewed on Jana's blog, This Little Card of Mine. Jana came up with this great idea while we were all attended a stamping retreat in Cncinnati (and all watching Jennifer's stomach, waiting for that baby to make a break for it - which she didn't, obviously).

Jana is displaying the cards using InLinkz so Jennifer can see all of her cards in one place since her free time is kind of non-existant these days and doing a hop is out of the question. It also makes it easier for the would-be hoppers, as well, so you definitely want to check out Jana's blog for an awesome collection of cards made by some of the industry's finest card makers!!!

Also, please feel free to leave Jennifer a comment in Jana's comment section.

Here's my card. (Yeah, yeah, shoot me for being a traditionalist - lol!)
