As you will have read a couple of blog posts ago, I had a surprise Baby Shower thrown for me. Because I really appreciated all the work that had gone into arranging it all, I decided to handmake my thank you cards, as to me there's nothing more special than getting a handmade card in the post. So I made seven cards, 6 of which were oink themed, which they had to be really given that the Baby Shower was pink themed, and one purple one for my sister as she doesn't like pink (and never has!)
I kept it simple, same design for them all but with slight variations here and there depending on my craft supplies. It only took a couple of days, and out they went in the post on Friday evening. And I have confirmation of two of them having been received. Even though I started out making cards, and I enjoyed making them I think I'm still a scrapbooker at heart and always will be!
Oh and I did stamp the back of each one with my stamp that says 'Handmade by Gemma', which of course my sister noticed because she was the one who bought it for me in the first place to say thank you for all the help with her wedding back in March!

They are lovely cards.
..and did you keep one to put in you baby scrapbook?
I'm definitely a scrapbooker too, as I hate to give things away! These are absolutely beautiful. I'm with Sian - you should totally keep one.
