Welcome Baby Grace

Our neighbors had a precious baby girl this week, Grace Noel. Gracie was suppose to arrive at Christmas time but decided to have Thanksgiving with the family instead. Even 4 weeks early she was 5# 13oz and perfect! The only problem...I had to get this ready NOW instead of next month! I knew I wanted to make cards and after seeing the clever card holder Tracy made, I knew this was what I wanted to put the cards in.

The bib is actually the congratulations card signed by our family. Coincidentally it fit perfectly on the front. That wasn't my intention but I love it when good accidents happen!!
Close up of the onsie card courtesy of Lauren She has a beautiful tutorial on how to make these.
Inside of the purse I put 12 cards and envelopes all the same style. The pockets are clear card boxes cut in half and Sticky Stripped to the purse.Side view.
This is not my original idea, therefore I did not show or give directions. The measurments depend on what size clear boxes you use. Refer to Tracy's and Lauren's links to their sites for further directions.
