The papers are just 1 12 x 12 sheet from 3 bugs in a rug

The words were all digitally created

This is sooo not my thing but here is what i made

This gorgeous stamp is Dark Room Door which is available at That Craft Place Shop and as it is a vintage type stamp i though i would try to do a vintage/distressed card, did i pull it off?  I'm not sure.

The pram is coloured with promarkers and Flexmarkers, although in hindsight i wouldn't have coloured it.

The papers are Crafts too and Forever Friends and are inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Faded Jeans

The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the buttons are from my stash.

There is lots of inspiration throughout the challenge from the DT over at the shop blog.
