Our daughter and son-in-law had their baby boy last Thursday, so we became grandparents for the first time. Here is the card I made for them. I used my new JustRite Stamper and stamped it with Baja Breeze on an off-white cardstock and cut it with a Marvy circle punch. (In "real-life", it has his last name on it, too.) I cut the scalloped circle with another Marvy punch. I stamped the dots on the scalloped circle with PaperTrey Ink’s Borders and Corners Circles, and I sponged both the edge of the plain and the scalloped circle with Baja Breeze. All of the background papers are from Die Cuts With a View Nana’s Nursery – Baby Boy. The vertical-striped piece is CB’d with a Dotted Swiss folder. The horizontal-striped piece is sponged with Baja Breeze and mounted on Baja Breeze cardstock. The top section is also mounted on Baja Breeze, and I added a thin strip of the stripes between the bottom and top sections. The rhino, hippo and giraffe are cut from the cardstock and mounted on various heights of dimensional squares and dots. The circles are on Pop Dots, also. The card is 4 3/4 inches square.

Oh, Lynette -- CONGRATULATIONS!!!! What a lovely, exciting event! And the card...that is gorgeous. I love what you did with the JustRite. (And again, we're on the same wavelength -- I just got my first JustRite stuff a few days ago!)
I hope you enjoy every minute with your new grandson!
