The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Marsh Silhouettes"
The mini stamp set we have for you this month is
"Lily of the Valley"
Today's set is all about the movies. My first card is a triple-feature. Actually, the background is made with a sheet of three paint chips I picked up at The Home Depot.
Some of the sentiments in this set lend themselves very nicely to a birth announcement. My grandson William is already four years old, but he's the newest grandbaby I have. So I pulled out a photo my son had taken at the hospital on the day William was born and made a birth announcement. The background is popped up with pop dots, so the recipient could pull out the photo and stick it on the 'fridge! As you could see on my first card, the top image is actually a "happy birthday" image. So I put a little embellishment over the "clapperboard" that would be more appropriate for a birth announcement and then popped up the small container of popcorn.
I hope you have gotten lots of inspiration during this week's Blog Hop. Please check out the cards made by the rest of the design team and comment, comment, comment. Remember, the more you comment, the more chances you have to win a free stamp set.

The birth announcement is so freakin' cute! Using the paint chips is a stroke of genius on the first card-great job with both cards!
These are great too! Clever to use this set for a birth announcement!
Awesome cards. I really like the one made with the paint chips, I never thought of using blue with the movie theme.
Very Cute Card!!! I like the color of the paint chips you picked out. I have some of these in my craft room just have to used them. And wow I love your last card with your grandbaby. TFS AJ-

Wow!!! So sweet!!!! Love the baby picture card!!! Truly precious! Great idea covering up the BD sentiment on the movie clacker! LOVE the paint chip idea!!! I picked up a few "fallish" colors last year but still haven't made anything with it! Love this EASY way to create the ombre look!
Awesome idea to make a birth announcement. I hadn't thought of that.

Love the paint chip card, but I especially love your birth announcement card. What a sweet photo. You did an awesome job this month showcasing the sets!! I enjoyed getting inspiration from your projects.
Lois,
Both cards are adorable. Your second card with the picture of your grandbaby is so very cute - and works perfect with the set!
These images are so festive! The cards end up being so up-beat and colorful. Nice job!
