My card features the new "Pip Squeaks" stamp set.

Supplies: 
Cardstock: (white) Georgia-Pacific, Patterned Paper: (Dots and Stripes collection) Echo Park, Stamps: (stork, sentiment, heart from "Pip Squeaks" balloons from "Smoocheroos") Ink: (gray, black) Memento, (pink) ColorBox, Markers: Copic, Thread: Coats & Clark
Size: 4.25"x5.5"

The sweet stork sentiment and tiny heart are all from the new set, and I borrowed the balloons from the "Smoocheroos" set. I know I've done the balloon thing before, but I still think it's super cute, which means this probably won't be the last time you see it :)

Alrighty, that's all from me.

Good luck and have fun!
