cutie card sunday # 35

a few weeks ago one of our geography teachers wife had a baby girl, and i was asked today to make a card for her. he and his wife have great taste in names because they have called her sophie and my youngest grandaughter is called sophie.!!i didn't want to do a new baby card so i have put her name on the card instead of baby girl. the layout is taken from this weeks sketch on cutie sunday. the stamp is a forever friends, everything else i have had for ages. i have another full day tomorrow with exams and then i am baby sitting george and sophie so i probably won't get anything done tomorrow. roll on friday and let the holidays begin x

NO. my husband insists this card is fine but i am still not sure, the stamp is a cuddly buddly, and is very cute. x
