Hey there, everyone! Welcome to the last inspiration day post until the stamps go live, and you will be able to purchase them!! So, what have your favorites been so far? I think mine are Dad's Day & Make Lemonade.

Today we have another segment in the widly popular Critters collection called "Critters Down Under". Yep- it's all about critters from Australia!! I decided to create a cute little baby card using the Kangaroo, because she happens to have a little baby in her pouch! Here is what I made!

3. Round the bottom corners of a vintage cream cardstock block; then adhere.
