STAMPtember - Day One - Thank Heaven....

Happy STAMPtember!!!!!  I gotta admit that I'm not as ready to celebrate this year as I have been in years past.  I've taken a bit of a crafting hiatus this summer, as you may have noticed.   I needed some time to decompress and get myself back into an artsy mood.

Today I'm sharing a baby shower card that I made.  There's gonna be lots of baby stuff in the next few weeks, with my new niece on the way.
