Another 1st Birthday

My beautiful little granddaughter Zoe will soon be having her first birthday.  I wanted to make her a special card and I just LOVE the Nursery Bash set.  This card took me ALL DAY!  I stamped the giraffe the day before but didn't know exactly what I wanted to do with it.  I came across some old card blanks (from 2005 is the copyright) and decided those were the colors I wanted to use.  So I just kept adding more and more stuff to the card until it finally looked like this:

Recipe:  Nursery Bash (Retired) & D1283 Say It In Style stamp sets; Black and Baby Pink Cardstock; Black & Hollyhock Exclusive Inks; Stardust Glitz Glitter Glue; Liquid Glass; Twinkle Brads; Clear Sparkles; White Daisy Just Blooms; Winter Craft Buttons; Z1209 Cranberry Designer Ribbon Rounds; Smitten Card Kit Card Blank (Retired); SU Boarder Punch, Oval Punch and Scalloped Oval Punch.

I just found out that two of  my favorite Birthday card stamp sets have been retired and this is one of the sets (the other is Birthday Wish).  Guess this is made from lots of retired stuff!  :-(
