I wasn't awake enough to flip the sketch so I could use the cute raffie from this delightful Wild About You set, so I ended up using the lion instead. Now a lion is not exactly the first image that comes to you mind when you think of a baby card, but it was the right size so I went with it. To add insult to injury, when I was cutting his head out so I could pop it up, it became obvious it was not a baby lion due to the mane...then to to top it off, I realized I messed up the sketch a bit.....thing were going from bad to worse until I remembered baby Simba and the Hakuna Mahtata (sp?!) "Don't Worry Be Happy" song from the Lion King- and that's what I decided to do LOL!
Hope you are enjoying your day and thanks for sharing a bit of yours with me :)

I think it turned out beautifully! Love your take on the sketch, Marisa. That lion is perfectly cute and the background with the buttons & twine & crimping is sweet as can be. Great layering of the nesties!
Are you kidding? I think this adorable lion is perfect for a baby card! I just love this, Marisa. Love the wrapped twine, the crimped panel, and the sweet patterned paper. I remember seeing a lot of baby gear with a jungle theme when I was pregnant, so this works perfectly!
you are crazy girl...this is fabulous!! perfect little baby card and perfect take on the sketch :) Just adorable!! Loving that nestie shape :) We have pouring rain here so I'm hoping it's an in day as I'm on duty!! Brought my umbrella just in case!! LOL
This is really cute! Love the bg paper and the nesties you've used to frame the lion :)
I just love the songs from "Lion King" and now you've got me humming them! :-) Fabulous baby card and it never entered my mind that a lion wasn't appropriate...I think in the context of all your other elements, it's perfect!
I think this turned out just perfect Marisa! The colours are gorgeous and he's such a cute little lion. xx
This is adorable, Marisa! I'm so glad you were able to "be happy" with this card--I think it turned out just fine. :)
Absolutely adorable and a perfect baby card!! Perfect use of the sketch, too!!
Awesome job with this sketch!!1 Love the layered die cuts & crimped paper - so sweet :)
I have not made a baby card in awhile.. I LOVE this set. It is one of my favorites. You picked great colors.
Ah-h-h.. darling card, Marisa. Love how you popped up the lion's mane.
So precious Marisa...I just love the fun colors. Great layering of the Spellbinders too. I've always thought this was the cutest stamp set :)
Oh, no I don't find anything amiss about using a lion image on a baby card, especially one this darn cute!
This is so adorable and fabulously done, Marisa! Super cute and beautiful!
How super sweet! Oh this card brings back memories of watching the Lion King over and over and over...even after my son left the room, I'd still be watching it! Those times seem like forever ago...
Anyway, I love those gorgeous colors, they are just perfect for a baby card!
Awww, Marisa! I love your most adorable card. The lion is so cute stamped on the nestie...makes me want to see my babies.
Love love love this! So adorable!
