Twins Card

I made this card for PKS Sketch Challenge. This idea has been in my head for a while. It is a memory from when my twins were little babies. They used to sleep in their bassinets at the foot of my bed and in the morning when I heard them waking up I would look down at the foot of my bed and two bright eyed little heads would pop up very unsteady and wiggly. I would think to myself "how did My husband, daughter and I ever live without these beautiful little people in our lives". Now they are so big!! I can't believe it, great memories!!!! My Creative Time's sentiment stamp went perfectly with my memory!

Materials:

Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut Cartridge

Peachy Keen Stamps Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment PK-450

Sentiment - My Creative Time You Had Me at Chocolate Set

Paper - TPC Studio Bugs and Butterflies

Sixxix Embossing Folders - Hearts and Dots
