I love collecting vintage wrapping paper and have a particular affinity towards baby prints. The soft sweet illustrated faces and colors are too cute! These are a few of the patterns I have in my stash. The one above is my favorite.
I do cut some of them up. I've used the one above in several gift tags.
And I used this one in this project.
This is another very sweet one!
You may be wondering why I'm showing these baby prints now, well it is because I am pregnant! I've been rather sporadic in posting and in being creative as I haven't felt that great but luckily, it hasn't been half as bad as it could be. I'm due on St. Patrick's Day, March 17. This will be our first child. I guess it was about time to start as I'll be 31 in October!

Karla,
I am tickled pink for you! You and your husband must be so happy. I wish you a wonderful pregnancy and I hope it is the best time of your life. I loved being pregnant!
When you made your announcement that you were in Somerset Life, I thought you were going to announce that you were pregnant then. I was close.
Anyway, hugs and kisses to you and your little miracle!

Oh, Congratulations, Karla! That is glorious and good news indeed! As I was reading your post, I thought -- what wonderful papers -- you could frame them. Then you did the tag and I thought, "I have to comment on that -- what a cool idea!" But then you shared the really wonderful news and all the rest is frosting because the real "cake" is growing inside you! I'm just thrilled!
oh, oh, oh, I read a little something about you at the bottom of one of Loris posts and whipped right over to see what was what with you. I have tears in my eyes, so happy for you. Congratulations!!!! Take Care. Rachaelxo
