Oh Baby!

I've finally gotten my She's All That Stamp Set! So excited - this is one of those sets that will never get old. It's timeless, classic and no matter what you do with it, you'll always have a beautiful card at the end. I decided to cut the 'words' off and double mount it so that I have the bride, expectant mom, birthday girl, and dog-walking girl alone. Of course I couldn't wait to dive into this set and I focused on the expectant mom and birthday girl since I'm still designing cards mainly for Belly Laughs. And of course I did some embossing :) I also got the 'Everything Baby' Set in that shipment. This is a great words only that focuses on, well, Everything Baby! Enjoy!
