Happy Birthday From All of Us!

I am not sure how it is possible, but my baby turns 9 today!  I'm pretty sure we were celebrating his first birthday just last year!  

This is kind of that awkward age where he isn't in to the little kiddo stuff, but not quite into all of the tween/teen stuff either.  He is an animal lover, so I knew he would love these happy little critters from the adorable From All of Us stamp set.  I can't wait to see him decide which animal is each of our family members!

He's going to be even more surprised to see he gets this stamped set for his own collection, along with a fun little card kit I put together for him.  He got a new desk in his bedroom and is so happy to have his own creating space!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Granny Apple Green, Whisper White

Ink ~ Memento, Stampin' Blends:  Granny Apple Green, Basic Black, Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede, Bronze, Ivory

Stamp Set ~ From All of Us

Other Supplies ~ Playful Alphabet

I loved coloring all of these little critters and I know my son will too!  

I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Birthday Kiddo

Today all about the kiddos over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and I'm playing with a new {to me}stamp set called Little Buddy Birthday.  I didn't have many kiddo stamp sets in my collection and I thought this one would be perfect to celebrate the younger kids in our life!

I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch to help get me started and let the paper and ink take it from there!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana, Hello Honey, Basic Black, Whisper White, Brights DSP Stack

Ink ~ Memento, Coastal Cabana, Real Red, Old Olive, Hello Honey, Pumpkin Pie

Stamp Set ~ Little Buddy Birthday

Other Supplies ~ Circle Framelits, Starburst Framelis, Neutrals Candy Dots, Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder

 

This cute little dinosaur was inspired by the amazing Allison Okamitsu from Nice People Stamp... I loved her color combo!

 

This was really a fun sketch and one that I will use again...I always love a unique twist to a sketch and the panel of black paper was fun!

 

Be sure to check out the rest of the fun kiddo cards over at SSINK and see you are INKspired to create!
