As a few of you know, we are going to be welcoming our first grandchild into the world in June (so excited) As of today, they have decided on the name Harvey. I just love it & can't wait to meet him. As Katie still lives at home with us, I am getting lots of time to talk to him & feeling him kick makes me cry every time!!
Anyhoos, as Katie decided she wanted a Baby Shower, I said I'd make the invites....never made Baby Shower ones before!
After spending ages looking on the internet for an image she liked, I said why don't you draw your own (as she is an artist & wants to be a tattoo artist eventually) So this little cutie is what she came up with!!
Oh this make is my DT creation over at 'Not Just Cards'
Katie drew two different ones & then couldn't decide which to use so I did 10 of each!
She has even put a small H on his bib 💖

What a fun card for your Katie's baby shower. The penguin is beyond adorable! Of course what makes the card extra special is your daughter's collaboration (quite the artist!)..Thanks so much for sharing with us for our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
These are just fantastic, the penguins are both adorable! Your Katie has a lot of talent, it obviously runs in the family!
