So sweet!! I love this paper. Glad I haven't done all my kids baby books yet!!
Posted by: Heather Balzer | July 13, 2011 at 08:09 AM
OMG! Cutest baby line EVER!! I love you guys!
Posted by: Ashley Rock | July 13, 2011 at 08:09 AM
Oh wow! I know so many pregnant women who could use this right now. I love it that it is NEUTRAL. It's very hard to make a scrapbook for a baby shower b/c all the products are either boy or girl. This could be either! Love it!
Posted by: Lindsay Wahl | July 13, 2011 at 08:10 AM
Wao!!! OMG!!! Precious, so cute. I want these too!!
Posted by: Lady Rafols | July 13, 2011 at 08:10 AM
You did really great with this collection as wel :)
Posted by: Vicky Forehand | July 13, 2011 at 08:10 AM
This collection is wonderful! I love that the papers are not the typical baby pink and baby blue but have hints of those colors. There are still lots of grandbaby pics here for me to scrap with this collection. Love it!!

Posted by: Karen Imes | July 13, 2011 at 08:14 AM
The colors in this collection are simply gorgeous. I can see using some of this for heritage photos...I have multitudes of sepia photos just begging to be scrapped.
Posted by: Lulo | July 13, 2011 at 08:14 AM
I'm sitting here in a hospital room, 33 weeks pregnant with twin girls. Call it hormones or call it gorgeous paper, but I'm loving this line to the point of getting misty eyed! :)
Posted by: Andrea Pike | July 13, 2011 at 08:16 AM
OMGoodness! It's adorable! I love everything about it! I'm so so so close to having my 2nd child and I haven't even scrapped any newborn pics of my 1st, so this is just PERFECT for me! I love it!
Posted by: Ramsey | July 13, 2011 at 08:17 AM

Posted by: Rebol | July 13, 2011 at 08:41 AM

Posted by: Lindy | July 13, 2011 at 08:41 AM

This ensemble answers the age old question of what colors to use for baby photos. All the elements are there for vintage or modern photos. Yet another collection that speaks to my heart!

O love the muted colors and the owls, too cute.
Posted by: Michele | July 13, 2011 at 09:13 AM
WOW! Love the whole line. I don't think there was one piece that I thought " I don't think I'd use that." Can't wait to get it.

Posted by: DeeDee Catron | July 13, 2011 at 09:19 AM
Are you kidding me? Ask anyone what my favorite things are and they will tell you hot air balloons and owls! I've been trying to get pregnant for quite a while now so my thoughts are all about baby baby baby, and then you come out with this PERFECT line? It's like you know me! I'm buying at least one!
xoxo,
jenny-lynn

Great collection!! I love that it's not gender specific and can be used for either a boy or girl!! Too bad I'm done having babies myself but it would make a wonderful gift for someone expecting!!
Posted by: Lisa | July 13, 2011 at 10:17 AM
Oh I love this! My youngest is now 1 year old and his baby book is the last I'll be creating for years and years (until grandkids come along), so I was hoping for a wonderful baby line this release!
Posted by: Doris Widder | July 13, 2011 at 10:27 AM
So cute! The colors are just perfect!

Posted by: Melanie C | July 13, 2011 at 10:37 AM
Love the unisex aspect of these papers. For those who don't know the sex of their baby and want to get papers ahead to be prepared or those who want to scrap baby boy and girl together, they aren't overly feminine or masculine, just perfect for both. Simply beautiful!
Posted by: Beth Beery | July 13, 2011 at 10:37 AM
3 days in a row you have knocked it out of the park! Amazing kit. I love this so very much and can't wait to see it in person.
