Um. Can you tell I'm excited? :-) WELL I AM!! I got an email last month from one of my absolute favorite stamper/ blogger/ stamp-designer/ all-around creative genius chickadees, Melanie Muenchinger, asking if *I* would like to be a guest designer for her upcoming Gina K stamp release. I seriously had to reread the email about ten times before replying, to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding. Of course I said YES!!! Melanie knew I would love this set - her Little Tees set is one of my all-time faves, and I've wished outloud in her comment section on multiple occasions for a similar set with onesies. Wellllllll... guess what!!! She did it! (she, of course, was way ahead of me on that, see above about her being a CREATIVE GENIUS!) And it is soooooooooo cute, exactly as I pictured she'd do it! It's called Wee Tees (such a cute name!!) and tonight I had to share the image I love most in the set - THE PEANUT!!! When I was pregnant with my son, I called him Peanut. So I just looooove that she included that in this set! And you know me, I love to make cards inspired by photos of my babies... so in my typical obnoxious mommy fashion, I have to show you a photo of my own little Peanut in his peanut onesie. This was taken when he was about 3 months old, he's 3 years old now. :-) For this card I used Taylor's latest sketch. I did stop and think as I was making this that it might be slightly odd to have so much black on a baby card, but oh well - I like it! I added the safety pin for more of a baby feel. :-) Ok... I need to get this posted!! Make sure and check back throughout the week, I have soooo many more things I want to show you with this set! And make sure and check out the whole Gina K team as well for more peeks... Asela Hopkins, Carolyn King, Cindy Lawrence, Donna Baker, Emily Giovanni, Erika Martin, Gina Krupsky, Jessica Fick, Joanne Basile, Kurtis Amundson, Theresa Momber as well as Melanie's other guest designer, Laura Jean Nygard.The set will be part of Gina K's big release on Thursday!!! Yay!! Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
Stamps: Wee Tees from Gina K Designs
Paper: Basic Black, Kraft, GP White, The Paper Studio DP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark, Copic markers for coloring
Accessories: SU circle punches, scallop edge punch, black grosgrain ribbon, safety pin
wow Libby. This is such a great oppurtunity for u! Nice to see Carter getting some attention in his cute outfit giving baby sis some competition! Friendly competition of course! Love your card. Nice to see some other colors being used then the usual baby colors.
my boys were both "peanut" too so that image is near and dear to my heart! Love the blue, black and kraft, lyout and love the little coordinaiting pics! it all rocks! hugs!
Just looking at your pictures before reading anything, my first thought was...."It's not Thursday, is it???"!!! :-) I thought you might be having an early "Carter's Closet"! Congrats on guest designer! You got your polka dots in!
Fabulous, Libby! What a great opportunity and a stamp set just made for you -- almost as cute as your own little peanut (but not quite). I know you'll make this set shine, 'cuz you feel it in your heart. Congratulations on your guest spot!

Um. Can you tell I'm excited? :-) WELL I AM!! I got an email last month from one of my absolute favorite stamper/ blogger/ stamp-designer/ all-around creative genius chickadees, Melanie Muenchinger, asking if *I* would like to be a guest designer for her upcoming Gina K stamp release. I seriously had to reread the email about ten times before replying, to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding. Of course I said YES!!! Melanie knew I would love this set - her Little Tees set is one of my all-time faves, and I've wished outloud in her comment section on multiple 
occasions for a similar set with onesies. Wellllllll... guess what!!! She did it! (she, of course, was way ahead of me on that, see above about her being a CREATIVE GENIUS!) And it is soooooooooo cute, exactly as I pictured she'd do it! It's called Wee Tees (such a cute name!!) and tonight I had to share the image I love most in the set - THE PEANUT!!! When I was pregnant with my son, I called him Peanut. So I just looooove that she included that in this set! And you know me, I love to make cards inspired by photos of my babies... so in my typical obnoxious mommy fashion, I have to show you a photo of my own little Peanut in his peanut onesie. This was taken when he was about 3 months old, he's 3 years old now. :-) For this card I used Taylor's latest sketch. I did stop and think as I was making this that it might be slightly odd to have so much black on a baby card, but oh well - I like it! I added the safety pin for more of a baby feel. :-) Ok... I need to get this posted!! Make sure and check back throughout the week, I have soooo many more things I want to show you with this set! And make sure and check out the whole Gina K team as well for more peeks... Asela Hopkins, Carolyn King, Cindy Lawrence, Donna Baker, Emily Giovanni, Erika Martin, Gina Krupsky, Jessica Fick, Joanne Basile, Kurtis Amundson, Theresa Momber as well as Melanie's other guest designer, Laura Jean Nygard.The set will be part of Gina K's big release on Thursday!!! Yay!! Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
