Today, I'm lucky enough to have two of their newest Lovely Legs sets: Sky Lantern Sympathy, and Baby Congrats! Here are my cards in that order:
I've always wanted to, but have never launched one of these paper lanterns.
Have you?
These lovely paper lanterns are for sending wishes, and messages in the most magical way, aren't they? The sentiments in this Sky Lantern Sympathy set are really wonderful for sending condolences - as my card indicates, I'm sending wishes of hope, and peace to a friend in need.
My second card is all about celebrating a NEW life … Baby Congrats covers all the bases for a girl, or a boy - and borrows a line from a favorite old song: they grow up in the most delightful way! Of course I've 'decorated' the nursery in my favorite colors... and made the new addition the star of my card!
Thanks for stopping by today... hope you have a wonderful weekend planned! I have a special day planned for my special guy's birthday tomorrow! shhhh! it's our secret! lol

A duo of delight, Michele. Thanks for sharing. I hope your special man has a fantastic birthday. How could he not if you are planning a fun day? Hugs!
Oh my goodness, your lantern card is just gorgeous - breathtaking, really. The colors are perfect and the intent is lovely. We had a graduation party for my sons and we had everyone send up these lanterns... Then I got to thinking about what would happen if they landed on someone's roof still lit. But we never heard any sirens or saw any news articles, so I think it turned out fine. I really thought the lanterns were the most wonderful idea... The baby card is so sweet too. I am not really familiar with this company. Uh oh...
What an incredible background on your first one and sweet nursery colors on the second. Marvelous cards! Paper lanterns remind me of a nighttime fishing trip Joe & a friend had. They saw one in the sky and the friend was completely convinced it was alien and wanted to leave the lake LOL!! HAPPY early BIRTHDAY to Tom!!
I've never floated a paper lantern or actually seen them in person, but I think they're magical! And so is your card! Very uplifting! Your baby card is adorable with the main attraction colored! Wishing Tom a very happy birthday! Enjoy your surprise!
These are amazing! The first one (in BLUE no less) is such a thoughtful card...what a lovely way to offer condolences, and the second one is just so sweet! Great images!
I've never floated a paper lantern either, but it would be awesome...just like your card! BEAUTIFUL coloring!! And your new baby card is FABULOUS with even more delightful coloring!! Have fun celebrating Tom tomorrow and tell him I said Happy Birthday!! :0)
**GASP**! Both of these cards are so touching they brought tears to my eyes. (I'm such a sap.) But honestly, the recipients of these cards are going to be so grateful for you and your creative skills
These are both beautiful Michele, you have really made these wonderful stamps shine! And no, I haven't floated a paper lantern, but it does look incredible to watch... one day maybe!
Lovely, Michele ... beautifully executed ... both of them are so serene and calm (which will be a rarity for those new parents!) Happy Birthday to Tom ... have a wonderful celebration! Hugs, Anita :)
My lips are sealed except to say what wonderful and unique cards today... Both are amazing! Enjoy the weekend and the celebrations
Those would be tough images for me, but you’ve made magic!
These are both lovely!
Wow, these are cool stamps Michele! I am loving the lantern one, and no, I have never released one of these lanterns, but it would be cool to do so! I love your card, the background is amazing, perfect for your woman and the lanterns to float up, up and away! The sentiments are perfect and I pray that your friend in need is lifted by this beautiful card. Your second card is just adorable! I love the scene and I love that you let the focus be on the sweet baby boy. Love your color combo too. lol Happy Birthday to your Mr.!!! Hugs, Brenda
Lovely images....and beautifully shown on yoir cards! I have launched paper lanterns then fretted about them getting blown into a tree branch and starting a fire.....sigh...but they are a beautiful sight....
Two really lovely cards Michele. I adore the way your coloured and not coloured your images!
Both cards are beautiful, Jo x
Oh my gosh, Michele...your lantern card is so creative! Beautiful ink blending and fabulous composition! Love your sweet baby card, too...selective coloring works so well with these images!
Belated happy birthday to Tom! I hope you both had a really fun weekend ♥
Your paper lantern card is filled with soothing and comforting feelings, Michele! The ink blended background is simply gorgeous!
Love the way you used colors to spotlight the little new baby!
Belated Happy birthday to Tom! I'm sure you two enjoyed his special day! Just curious about what you did. ;-)

Fabulous job you did with the lanterns Michele and what a calm and soothing card x....Nope never launched a paper lantern x. A perfect little boy card and what a great stamp x.
So glad to have shared part of that special day with you, and thank you for sharing the stamp. I hope mine is half as wonderful as yours.
