Waltzingmouse Blog Party - New Beginnings

Blog-Party-Logo 70%25
It' that time again, the 17th of each month is Waltzingmouse Blog Party and the theme this month is new beginnings.  I had so much fun putting this card together...I used their Off Beat Backgrounds set and decided to make my own plaid paper. Once that was completed I thought why not make some polka dots to coordinate, so this is what I came up with.  I used PTI white card stock and Spring Rain and Spring Moss inks, thought they would be perfect for a new beginnings baby card.  I kind of steered away from making a plaid but found out it was not as hard as I thought it would be.  Thanks for taking a peek!
