If you have been joining me each month in these blog hops, you know I usually showcase the stamps with cards. When it came time to create something with the Special Care set, all I could think of was 'layout'. I don't have have babies or small children anymore! But I really wanted to create a layout and I really wanted to use my Babycakes paper! I love the Babycakes paper and have been using it for everything BUT BABY!

So I pulled out the paper and pulled out the stamp and I got to work creating a layout. Maybe when I have time, I will dig out some baby photos and put baby pictures on it!

For my layout I used a pattern from the new Make It From Your Heart Vol 2 book. This is Pattern #10.

I used my Artbooking cricut cartridge to add an overlay to my layout. I used the 1/2 page overlay - Overlay Shift <G>. I set the dial size to 11" so the actual size was cut to fit the layout at 5 x 11. I cut the overlay down to 3" to fit right on top of the White Daisy cardstock on the left page. Then I used some of the leftover on the right side.

For this stamp, I stamped it twice - first in Slate ink and then in Lagoon. I cut out the "TREAT" from the Lagoon stamped image and adhered right over the same word of the Slate image to make it pop.
