Cute as a Button

This card was made for the Heart2Heart Challenge Theme "ONE" using the Sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #144 

The "One" is for a first newborn, or a 1-Year Old Birthday card, boy or girl.  Left the inside of card open for a Sentiment depending upon what it would be used for.  

For the paper clip I thought I would use a diaper pin instead... although most of you may not remember or know what these are...I think diaper pins are pretty much extinct now and for most a blessing.  Trivia: The first paper disposable diapers were invented in 1948.  The first I used them were back in 1972 when my second son was born, but still needed diaper pins...yikes that's a long time ago.  

I used a colorful design paper that had darker shades of pinks and purples so that the card could be used for a girl or boy.

Your one and only, a first (birthday, milestone, etc.), the number one, or the month of January, the ideas are limitless.

It doesn't get any cuter than this! I like the rosy cheeks on the monkey. Although I never had children, I had three much younger siblings and I know what diaper pins are... I remember them well! Colors are pretty, too.

I know what they are but I never used them! My oldest Nephew will be 47 this year and he wore pampers. The card is adorable!

I know what they are...when my son was born 25 years ago I decided that I wanted to use cloth diapers - yeah, not one of my more brilliant ideas. I had a diaper service, but it last just a month. I LOVE your card. That little monkey is just adorable.

Your card is cute as a button :-) Love the coloring on that monkey and the diaper pins are perfect! I had three boys (starting in '78) and did cloth diapers for all....ugh! I enjoy seeing the paper pin, but glad we aren't using those any longer.
