Here'a a refresher.  It's a THEME Challenge:  Baby

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Emily Lauritzen delights with these proud parents from Newton's Sweetheart stamp set. The diagonal stripes against the stenciled pawprints Tumbling Hearts working fabulously together. To finish it off are those little black pawprints from the Furr-ever Friends stamp set.

Zsofia Molnar designs these darlings cards with a combination of Loveable Laundry stamp set and Stitched Onesie die set with the cutest baby paper!  I love the soft baby boy colors with the stitched frame!  Cute!

Andrea Shell creates this sweet baby card using Deer Friend stamp set. I love how she frames the deer with the scallop edging. Then there is all the pink!  Seriously...delightful!

Debbie Owens uses Wild Child stamp set and Frames & Flags die set to create this sweet baby card. Those soft pastel colors and the bow provide the perfect touches to spotlight the darling giraffes!  

Diane Morales' tag makes for a special touch for a baby shower gift. I love how she uses  the Spring Showers stamp set with the little chick from  the Hello Spring stamp set. Love her puddle of water and the twine bow!

Emily Lauritzen's cloudy sky, grass, and clothesline are the perfect touches to coordinate with the Loveable Laundry stamp set. Such a delightful way to welcome a new baby!

Zsofia Molnar's card just makes me smile with her creative use of stamp sets to create a nontraditional, but delightful, baby card. Zsofia uses Loveable Laundry stamp set, Love Bites stamp and die set, and Sending Hugs stamp and die set. Seriously darling!

Andrea Shell's soft pastel colors are perfect to welcome a new baby. She uses Sending Hugs stamp and die set, Simply Sentimental stamp set, and Fancy Edges Tag Die set. So sweet!

Debbie Owens makes a fun star-shaped card featuring Wild Child  stamp set. Love the soft pastel colors and the star-themed pattern paper. The added button and twine are great embellishments.


Diane Morales creates this darling shape card combining Wild Child stamp set and Toucan Party stamp set. Those leaves are a wonderful way to showcase the mommy and baby giraffes!  So cute!

Diane Morales' shimmering hearts were created using Tumbling Hearts stencil and make for a romantic backdrop to her sweet owls from What a Hoot stamp set.

Emily Lauritzen brings us a beautiful spring design using Happy Little Thoughts stamp and coordinating die set. Her pink backdrop looks beautiful against the dark brown scallop frame (Frames and Flags die set.)

Zsofia Molnar also uses the Tumbling Hearts stencil to create a subtle background. She then repeatedly stamps a sentiment from Darling Duos stamp set to set the stage for those sweet kitties from Newton's Sweetheart stamp set. What a fabulous combination of products!

Andrea Shell creates a darling scene by combining two stamp sets:

Newton Dreams of Paris and Snow Globe Scenes. I love her pink cloudy sky and how she demonstrates how a holiday stamp set can be used for any occasion! 

Debbie Owens creates a sweet CAS card using this week's colors and Newton's Sweetheart stamp set and Pawprints stencil. The layered hearts and pawprint background are wonderful way to showcase those darling kitties!
