Here's another card using the new Bundle of Joy set. I am really enjoying using soft, springy colors. I haven't strayed too far from using the larger images in the set as stand-along images on my cards. I'm having a ball with the images just as they are!
But I was looking at the set earlier tonight and thinking of lots of things that could be done just with the balloons! You could add a bouquet of balloons to the stork's wing. Or even the duck's wing! You could have the cow being carried away by one (or several) balloons. You could even make a balloon bouquet that also has star and heart balloons. I really need to put some of these ideas to paper. But not tonight ... I'm tired.
I'm going to go tuck myself into bed and watch tonight's episode of Dancing with the Stars. I DVR'd it, so I'd have something to watch in bed. Most of the craft shows I usually watch have been old re-runs. Same with the cooking shows. Blah! So, Dancing with the Stars it is!
This card is just too cute! What is the background paper? I have been searching for it and am coming up empty but MUST have it because of you and your stunning samples! Do you feel like an enabler? Can you hear my desperation? (he-he!)

Anna, I've come to the conclusion that this stamp is my favorite in the set. I just LOVE this stork with the baby! I keep wanting to make more cards with this set. It's hard to stop. Beautiful, soft colors on this card, and your watercoloring is yummy!

Ya'll are killing me with this set. I *SO* don't need this set, but you are making me want it BAD! We will see how long I hold out... I really don't have much stamina and cave under pressure. PRESSURE ME MORE! :)
(And if you get going on those balloon ideas, I'm sure you will!)
