Place Cards

A friend asked me if I could make some invitations and place cards for her sons baptism and after looking through my blog she fell in love with the Whipper Snapper turtle and frog stamp. BUT I forgot to take a picture of the invitations so you'll have to do with the place cards.
The papers are from Cosmo Cricket and the base is Bazzill, ribbon is from Kremmerhuset and flowers are from Nille and Prima. I printed the names on the computer using the font "English".

Thanks for looking!

Check back SUNDAY for some ProMakres action! ;)
