Gamer Boy Birthday

Hello stamping friends!

We've had a busy week. Monday, we went to a waterpark with friends in Southern Georgia.

(The kids having fun with the underwater camera)...

On Tuesday, I met my sister and her family at the beach in Ormond Beach, FL (just North of Daytona).

The kids LOVE their cousins...

Wednesday we had a "lazy day" so I could get some work done (and recover from a little too much sun at the beach). Then yesterday we went to a Wild Cat Rescue facility.

See the 3 tigers to the right?...

******

Today I have a card to share that I made for one of Ryan's friend's birthday...

 

This stamp (called Boy Gamer) is now discontinued (until Kenny K decides to wholesale his stamps again). But it's a great card for 10 year old boys!  

 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!! 

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

Just Dance

Hello stamping friends!

I have to be honest, I'm really frustrated with typepad lately! I know they are having problems with hackers disabling their system, but I PAY for this service and I'm tired of my blog not working! This post was supposed to be posted yesterday, but when I went to finish the post, I didn't have access to my blog! I would switch to blogger or wordpress, but 7 years worth of blogging is hard to move to a new blog!

Anyway, I made a card on commission for a friend.She used this card I made for my daugther for her birthday as the inspiration...

Here's the commission card...

 

 

This is Dancing Willow from Whiff of Joy. Different from the inspiration card, I found some zebra print glitter paper; the black stripes are glittered! So much fun in real life. I also used Heart Banner Die, Christmas Tags DooHickey, Pearls, Frantage, Feathers, and lot of Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers: Purple/Lilac Wild Roses, Purple Open Roses, Lilac Spiral Stamens, and Tulips.   

I'm out of stock of this design, but have many Whiff of Joy stamps on sale for 25% off.

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os... 

 

I really hope she likes it!

High Hopes Challenge: At Least Two Patterned Papers

Hello stamping friends!

I hope you had a great start to your week so far. We had a lovely day at the beach with friends yesterday. However, I failed to put on a 2nd coat of sunscreen so I'm a little pink in some areas!! Oh, well. It happens every year the first time I go to the beach. I'm not a natural redhead, but I should be based on my sensitive skin. I try to stay out of the sun as much as possible, but when you live in Florida, it's impossible to stay out completely!

I hope you had a lovely weekend. We had a nice quiet one. It was raining most of the weekend so the kids and I had a marathon of Harry Potter Movies! We watched #3, 4, and 5 yesterday (we had already watched #1 and 2 earlier in the week.

As this posts, I am hopfully on the way to the beach. With all of the rain we had this weekend, it will be nice to see some sun.

Stamp and Create with Magnolia Challenge: Fancy Folds

Hello stamping friends!

I hope you had a great week. Wednesday was my son's last day of school. They had awards ceremony on Tuesday and he received an award for All A's 4th Quarter, A/B Honor Roll for the whole year (he only received 2 B's the whole year), a Metal for 5 in FCAT in Math (Statewide standardized testing; he only got one or two wrong on the whole test), and a Metal for 5 in FCAT in English (again, got the best score just short of a perfect score). We are so proud of him. Now if only he could just sit still in school! LOL

It was a really great year!

They all live in a different State and they rotate who's house they go to. This year, it was South Carolia. While he was gone, the kids and I did a few things together, watched a few movies, went out to dinner with friends, went to church, and went to a friend's son's Graduation party.

They had an awards ceremony and Ansley received an award for A/B Honor Roll for the 4th Quarter then another award for A/B Honor Roll for the whole year (she actually got All A's in the 1st Quarter).
