I've got a Wonderful friend (shhhhh! Don't tell Meagan) that is due to have a Sweet Little Boy in approximately 14 days so I was thrilled to get my hands on the Crafty Secrets "Baby Boy" stamp set. Limiting myself to only two of the stamps was CHALLENGING!!! OK ya got me, I cheated but only on the INSIDE and the back. Here is a peek at the inside of the card:


Not sure whether or not I would be considered cheating in the number of embellishments used. Let's count: 1-chipboard "b", 2-scrap of fabric, 3-button (surely we aren't counting the chipboard frame that I painted to frame my "TWO STAMPS", Right?) Now I behaved myself and used ONLY 1 Punch BUT I could have used it over & over (ya' know, layered them)!! ;o}

CHALLENGES I USED..........
ABC Toys & Crafts: Recipe
Crafty Creations: Distressing
The Pink Elephant: Color Challenge (AQUA) (I used Aqua Mist as my base)
