Awesome Kids

Happy Sunday stampers!  I hope you have had a great weekend so far.  I know ours has been pretty great! My youngest and I spent lots of time at our annual Balloon Stampede, which was so much fun!  We took in the Nite Glow on Friday night, then got up early Saturday morning to watch the launch and chased a few balloons to watch them land.  It is truly a magical time in our little town!

While we were out chasing balloons, my hubby and twins were out on their own hunting adventure.  They've had a successful hunt so far...one down, one to go. I'm anxiously awaiting a phone call or text to let me know how their morning hunt has gone.

My kids are all pretty freaking awesome and I love seeing all that they can do!  The continue to amaze me every single day.  But, as with any child, they do sometimes give us a run for our money and cause us to question our parenting abilities from time to time.  Middle school has been a trying time for all of us, but we are working our way through it and all learning so much from each other.  One of our kiddos has had a few struggles lately, so I wanted to make him a special little card to leave for him when he least expects it.  Treehouse Adventure is the perfect stamp set for a fun and encouraging card for any kiddo!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Mango Melody, Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade

Ink ~ Mango Melody, Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Memento

Stamp Set ~ Treehouse Adventure

We have another beautiful day before us.  I have so many stamping projects to work on, but I want to be outside enjoying the beautiful weather we have before it's gone.  Decisions, decisions...

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you have a beautiful day!

Happy Stamping!

Two Cards, One Sketch

Happy Sunday stampers!  Look at me...stamping AND blogging two days in a row.  That's what I call a great weekend!

I always love a good sketch to get me started on a card and the latest Global Design Project sketch did not disappoint!

I loved this sketch so much, I made TWO cards using it.  It's always fun to create multiple cards using the same sketch, but different stamp sets.  This is a great class idea too!

My first card is using the ADORABLE Treehouse Adventure stamp set.  I've had this set for a while, but haven't had the chance to ink it up...until today!  These little houses are too cute!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Granny Apple Green, Whisper White, Brights DSP

Ink ~ Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray

Stamp Set ~ Treehouse Adventure

Other Supplies ~ Whisper White Bakers Twine

Next up are my fun little Trick or Tweet friends!  These little critters are so much fun to color!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Highland Heather, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Brights DSP

Ink ~ Memento, Stampin' Blends

I'm going to see if I can sneak in one more card for an upcoming design team project...the laundry can wait a bit longer, right?!?

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Happy Stamping!
