 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.
