Bohemian Borders Baby Layout & Card ~ Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

This sneak peek set - Bohemian Borders -  has rather taken my fancy! Pair it with bright tones and you have a very current and fresh look. Take a gander...

This is my nephew. Isn't he sweet? He's a big three year old now. Yay - finally got that layout done!

And because I loved how fun the layout came up, I popped the same design on a 4x4" card. I love how Stampin' Up! products can easily be applied to whatever you'd like to make. Easy as!
By the bye, our new envelope paper is deliciously lightweight. Loving it already.
