My card tonight was a lot of fun to make and was my first attempt at a criss-cross card. It's for a dear friend of mine who just recently had a new little baby boy. I'm so happy for them! :) Ya gotta love new little babies!
I'm used to making girly cards so this one was a challenge for me to make one that looked boyish and for a new little arrival. I'm happy with the way it turned out and I really like this patterned paper that I used from Close to My Heart. I can't remember the name of it, so if you can help me out and let me know, I'd appreciate it. :) I've tried looking it up online, but I can't find it in their papers section.
If you're interested in trying one of these criss-cross cards, here's a wonderful tutorial done by Beate Johns that's posted on SCS.
