Who's got the cutest little boy stamp on the block? I do, I do! Don't ya just wanna read him a book?
He's all ready with his blanket and frog slippers! He's Cuddle Up Carter and he's My Favorite Things companion to Nite, nite, Ellie. Carter also happens to be the little boy to our very own Carole Burrage, and the inspiration behind this set. {I'll tell you a little more about this special set in a second}
I colored Carter up with my prismacolor pencils and blended him with gamsol.
I popped up the little frogs heads and the train, maybe you can tell in this picture because I know you can't really tell in the larger photo.
Now, back to the reason this set is special... part of the proceeds from this set will be donated to Euro-Peds, which is right near where I live in Michigan. Carole's son Carter has CP and he comes to Euro-Peds for intensive treatment for two weeks at a time, a few times a year. Euro-Peds has been on the news and they do remarkable work for children who come from all over the world.
Don't forget to come back tomorrow for our MFT Hop around the Block!! There are 4 sets getting released this month! see ya!
Aaaaaah this is just too cute! You are right, that is an adorable boy stamp. You've coloured it so beautifully again. You are just too good, but I'm so glad you share with us all.

Paula - I love this card!! :) He reminds me of my middle guy who also love his blanket. Love the coloring (as always) and the layout - especially how the blanket hangs off the panel. Wonderfully FUN card!
