We have another fun set from artist, Emilie Goulet!!! This one's called YOUNG AT HEART! This set is all about love and life and having fun, no matter what age you happen to be!! It features THREE sweet images plus TEN coordinating sentiments!! Aren't they the cutest!!!

I instantly adored this set of stamps! Emilie certainly does an amazing job!! I decided to use the old couple for my card as they kinda reminded me of my parents minus the walker. I have been very lucky to be a part of their story - can you believe they got engaged on their first date and are still strong after almost 33 years!!!

For my card I used the Doodlebug Love Bugs line and combined it with one of their doilies, some twine and some of Kimmie's Sparkles (which you can find in the STORE)!!!
