I missed last week's FWF blog hop so I'm happy to be hopping with you all today! Be sure to check out the Unity Blog later this morning for a full list of participants. Look for the FWF blinkie and leave a comment on that blog for a chance to win 25 random Unity stamps. My theme today is baby boys! 
I had to make two baby boy cards, one for my sister and one for a friend. These use the same colours but in completely different styles. The animals are from my all-time favourite Unity Kit of the Month, July 2010's Happily Ever After. The sentiment repeated on the hills is also from the same set and the sun is from When I Am With You.
The journaling block that serves as a backdrop for this second card, as well as the sentiment, are from To the Moon & Back. I masked off the scripted 'memories' sentiment on the top line of the journaling block to accommodate a more appropriate sentiment for this occasion.

That is just so adorable, I love both looks, they looks so different and yet both are so cute!
Lovely cards Emily!! Love them both! :)
Holy cats, I love these cards. You know I'm already a sucker for those little animals...and now that I have them, I have no reason to make baby cards! Well, not yet -- in a couple months, they'll finally get a workout.
Both cards rock -- love the stamped hills on the first one, and the stitched-and-stamped frame on the second is a genius idea!
Oh Emily. You've got me at that little line of animals. These cards are just absolutely adorable! So sweet and so much fun!
What can I say? Your usual amazing-ness! Darling animals and love the landscape :)
My friend just had her baby BOY this morning what neat coincidence! Great cards Emily!!!
Oh you almost tricked with a winning Erin! LOL
love love love these!!! GREAT idea masking the sentiment and adding your own! Definitely gonna have to use that, because I like the stamp, but can't always use the sentiment! and the first card, with the "new baby grass" how FANTASTIC! love the colors and the stitching and the ribbon- just super cute :)
Fabulous cards! I especially love the way you used the journaling box in the second card!
