Battle of the Badges

 Happy Wednesday stampers!

 

It feels like it's been for-EVER since I've made anything, let alone post anything on my blog!  Between being out of town 2 weekends this month and baseball season starting up, my time has been super limited.  I'm doing my best to remedy that and get a little more creative time in my day.

 

I am not a huge fan of basketball, but it has been an exciting college basketball season in our neck of the woods.  Gonzaga is just a few hours away from where I live, so it's been fun watching them make their way to the Final Four. 

 

Basketball won't end there for us though!  My husband will be playing in the Battle of the Badges Charity basketball game in April.  Our local Fire and Police Departments will play this year to raise money for our local schools. It's a great event and something the community looks forward to every year!  That is the inspiration behind my card today's SSINK March Madness post :-) 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Delightful Dijon, Dapper Denim, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate, Basic Black

Ink ~ VersaMark, Basic Black, Tip Top Taupe

Stamp Sets ~ Hardwood, My Hero, Badges & Banners

Other Supplies ~ Layering Circles Framelits, Circle Punches, Best Badge, Silver Embossing Powder

 

Good luck to all of the Final Four teams this week!!!  They will be exciting games, that's for sure!

 

Happy Stamping@

Hello friends and happy Tuesday!

I hope you all had a fabulous Monday and were able to get some ink and paper therapy.  I took a half a day off from work to hang out with my kiddos and even managed to get a little therapy in for myself!

We have a pretty spring color challenge for you over at Hand Stamped Sentiments, which inspired me to create a little Easter treat box.  It seems crazy to be thinking about Easter already, but it will be here before we know it!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!

Today we celebrate our dad's....whether they are still here with us today or in Heaven above, we celebrate them with love!

I am blessed to have an amazing dad who has taught me so much over the years.  He's picked me up when I've fallen down, helped me with countless projects, given advice (whether I asked for it or not!) and loved me no matter what.  Love you Dad!

My boys are equally blessed to have an amazing daddy.  Most days it feels like he is gone a lot with his job, but his days home are spent doing anything and everything with our boys! From teaching the mow the lawn, to perfecting their swing or pitch, he's there to help them out along the way.  He is their hero!

Our twins baseball tournament was rained out yesterday and games were rescheduled for today.  We had to re-arrange our Father's Day plans a bit, but spending the day at the ball field sounds like a pretty great way to spend the day!

Happy Father's Day!
