Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge: Circles

Hello stamping friends!!

As you probably already know, blogger is down. Therefore the challenge post and most of the DT have been unable to finish their posts. Hopefully it will be back up soon! Please check back later to see the rest of the team's cards and to participate in this week's challenge.

TGIF!!! Actually, this is going to be a fun but crazy weekend. It's my husband's turn to host his "guys weekend" with 3 of his former college buddies. A few years ago, they all met together at a friend's funeral (died from a military accident in San Diego) and they decided that each year they were going to get together to hang out and catch up with each other. Each year they rotate who hosts the weekend. That means every 4 years, Scott has to host. 

The last time he hosted, my kids were only 2 and 4 so I just went away for the weekend to visit my father. This year, however, the kids are in school so I can't just leave and get out of the way. Ryan has a school field trip tomorrow along with a TBall game on Saturday so we have to stick around. 

But it will be a fun weekend for me and the kids. As long as I don't loose my mind, we will have friends come over tomorrow night (the guys will be out most of the day driving down to Daytona and St. Augustine). On Saturday, we are going to a carnival, Ryan's TBall game at 5pm, then off to a "kids only" party in the neighborhood (which means, I get to hang out with some of the ladies while the kids are at the party). 

On sunday, we'll do our regular routine of bible study and church (at least the kids and I will). 

So pray that I have enough energy to keep up with the kids this weekend and that we don't have a repeat visit to the Emergency Room like the last time Scott hosted the guys weekend. You can read about it a little here.

Ok, now it's time for the new Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge hosted by Darlene: Circles

You can make a circle card, add a bunch or a little circles to your card, use patterned paper with circles, etc.. A little or a lot is fine as long as there are at least a few circles on your card somewhere.

If you missed it yesterday, we are having a new digital stamp release next week. See the details here.

Now here's my card for the Circles Challenge...

I used Toby's Gift. He makes the cutest birthday cards!! 

I used some new Beach Bum Paper by Fancy Pants ( I LOVE the colors in this set), black brads, spacers (on sale this week), twill ribbon & Bow Easy, Basic Grey Button, and Whimsy Sentiment.

The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

This is also for:

Cute Card Thursday: Distressing

Now it's your turn!! Let's see some circles on your card! Remember, if you use a WnW stamp on your card, you will be entered into a 2nd drawing for a free WnW digital stamp.

I will be back on Monday with an early sneak peek at one of the new digis being released next week.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

I am your newest follower. I was searching the internet for cute handmade cards and this one popped up. Adorable! I would like to learn how to make these myself but I haven't a clue what is involved such as equipment or where to get supplies. I would appreciate any information you would be willing to offer me. I have a blog myself if you would like to check me out first. Here's my url http://talesfrommyjournal.blogspot.com You will see my blog is about hair jewelry that I'm trying to introduce to other women. I would appreciate it if you took the time to look around. I hope to hear back from you.
