Oh! Pretty Baby

Recently I was asked by Hunkydory to review their

newly designed magazine Carfting with Hunkdory Issue 45

I was also able to choose a few other products of my own choice.

I was overwhelemed and honoured for this opportunity. It 

isn't my normal genre of card making but I have greatly 

enjoyed making the cards. The magazine and two  little square books 

are so beautiful, full of products and ideas, and of fantastic value

Today I am featuring one of the cards I made from the Little book

called Bundles of Joy.  but first details of today's challenge.
