This photo is of my now 16 year daughter old and I when she was about 9 months old! 

I used some of the absolutely gorgeous Limited Edition Stamps from Heartfelt Creations! My favorites

are the Leafy Swirls Precut Set and the Aztec Gold Sunflowers Precut Set. I used smooch spritz on the sunflowers for lots of shimmer! I also used gold stickles on the leafy swirls leaves.
