Vintage Heartfelt Card

Welcome to the first project made for Vintage Heartfelt DT. I'm not sure I would call myself a "Vintage" designer but I try. I do love the look of flowers, so here is my first design. Thank you Denise your doing a great job. Stop by http://vintageheartfeltdesigns.blogspot.com/ to see all of the lovely cards. Great job ladies. Quilling is quite new to me, but I am enjoying it. I used my cuddlebug to cut these flowers out and quilled them.

I finished off my card with the stamp, "You Complete Me" designed by My Creative Time, Emma. This set was Turn That Frown Upside Down. Stop over to http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ to see all of Emma's stamp sets.

Macey's BIRTHday Book, little Macey is from Alaska. I thought this would be a great way for her parents to keep track of the first year of her life. I made the book with the YourStory. The cover was designed using vinyl.
Here is Macey, the sweet little angel and a place for her parents to record her birth announcement. I started Macey's book with the month of October and it will go through October 2011 when she is 1 year old.

Mama's Little Turkey, they can record things that happen during the month of November on the calendar and on the turkey they can add Macey's picture.I chose to share a few different months with you and February was one. Daddy's Little Sweetheart. Macey was a preemie and had a rough start but is doing great now.

October and Macey will be 1 year old, wow! She will be such a cute little cupcake and I can't wait to see her picture. Thank you for joining me during this hop.
