I saved today's post for a few of Julie's creations. These next two cards can be a fun way to design your own little fashion line. "Little" is the key word here as you will see.
stamps used: Doodle Flower Set, Script Background & Baby Noteblock
How cute would it be to design a little line of baby clothes cards. Julie found the templates from two online blogs. Here is the baby dress and onsie templates.
Here are two other adorable cards created by Julie using the Baby Noteblock.
Nathalie created this gorgeous baby box with a slew of stamps. Not only did she personalize the box with the baby's name but used the Date Me stamp to include the baby's birthdate. Great touch!
stamps used: Date Me, Love Noteblock, Music Background, Script Background, Deluxe Labels, Fanciful Labels, SuperStar, Happiness Is________, LOVE
Check back tomorrow to see some adorable baby shaped cards that Julie created.
little baby face! Those are the lyrics spread across the baby pages of Tatum's 5th grade year book. I was the lucky person who got to work on those pages. I finished them up on Sunday and it is another project scratched off my list. Yeah!
I realized after working on the yearbook pages that we haven't done any baby cards over here yet. So without further adieu...
These cards use the new Baby Noteblock stamp that will be up on the site shortly (if not by the time you are reading this).

More to come! I have a few more baby projects to show you over the next couple of days.
I have been crazy busy recently and I didn't get a chance to post about sponsoring the girls over at One Little Word (OLW) last week. Shame on me!
I loved seeing how everyone used the stamps. The girls over there have such great style. I'll post a little peek and you can see the rest here.
Gigi
Look how Gigi mirrored the Deluxe Label stamps in the frames she put around the photos of herself. Cute! The Skinny Dip alpha is also one of my favorites. It always adds that little touch of fun. I also am lovin' all the stitching, inking, texture and dimension she has going on. Perfection! :)
Denise
I love how Denise did her journaling using the Vintage Label Plate repeatedly. The Ribbon Label stamp still is a stand out for me each time I see it used.
Now go on over to OLW and check out the rest!
Thanks again girls!
How about incorporating a little Spring in your upcoming birthday cards? Hilde has done just that with this birthday card. I love all the dimension cutting patterned paper can add to a project.
Jennifer has been creating some lovely note card sets, box and all. Take a look and how pretty they are!
Jennifer used the Filigree Corner Stamp repeatedly on the card to create a patterned paper. She also used it along the bottom of the box and on the tag.
This shadow box from Christine is just perfect for this great pre-Spring day we are having here in NY. I hear it is just a tease since we are going back down to the 30's. Not fair!
So, let see all she has going on here: Skinny Dip Alphabet, Deluxe Labels, Deco Beaded Frame - Journaling, Doodle Flower Set, Doodle Heart Set. Did I get them all?

I'm back with some samples! Finally. I was consumed last week with preparations & cooking for our annual St. Patrick's Day party. We had close to 80 people here Saturday night. I would say good times were had by all. There is a wonderful Irish Soda Bread Cookie recipe I will share with you down below. They were a hit. I highly suggest making them for tomorrow.
I am diggin' these layouts from some of the design team girls because...
Sharon has a way of adding all kinds of elements, details and texture to her layouts. I love how she has the glittery vine growing up the measuring tape with all the months.
Stamps used: Date Me
Anna can make something so simple look so great! I absolutely love how this layout turned out.
stamp used: Vintage Ornate Frame
The oversized date, photos and stamping on this clean & simple layout by Waleska are a standout for me.
stamps used: Vintage Perpetual Calendar, Tulip
This layout by Ronda has such a whimsy feel to it. Layouts like this make me happy.
stamps used: Vintage Postmark Date Set
Hilde keeps coming up with these unusual shapes for her layouts.
Stamps Used: Vintage Perpetual Calendar & Antique Fair Set
The tall skinny pages that Julie has been doing for her album are also some of my favorites. I love all the distressing, texture, stamping and those little letters she is known for using.
stamps used: Vintage Postmark Date Set & Doodle Foliage
