A Big Day ahead...

Today is a big day!! First of all, DH and I have to go to the school this morning and officially register our son for Kindergarten *sniff sniff* and meet with the principal while our son visits with his new teacher. I can hardly believe I have been a mum that long let alone that I have to take my child to school next year!!!
In addition to that, I have a father's day stamp camp that I am prepping for today. I usually do stamp camps for the kids around the "celebrations" and I always create something new for them to do. This year the kids will be making origami shirt cards, decorated handy man frames, decorated glass jars (to hold nails, bolts, nuts, washers etc) and decorated tins with coupons. The kids have an hour to complete the items above so I usually do a little more work the night before to help the event run smoothly. The long of the short is I am going to share the items with you tomorrow. So for now I will share a lil' card I was keeping for busy times like this...



Elegant Thanks Card Recipe

Paper: Chocolate Chip, Cool Carribean, Whisper White, Old Olive, Kraft
Ink: Cool Carribean, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Stamp Set(s): Branch in Vase (Impress Rubber Stamps), Japanese Flower (Impress Rubber Stamps), Pollen Dust (Fancy Pants), Faux Ribbon (Papertrey Ink)

I hope you are having a fabulous day! I'll keep you posted on how I survive the meeting with the principal. Go figure, you would think as a teacher I would be used to this idea but seriously I just want to cry.

Because I love to stamp and you do too!

Some Flowers for You!

I feel so lucky to have had some time recently to stock pile some of my cards *insert shocked face*. My hubby is good to me and let me have a few hours of stamping to myself last week and I can't believe how many cards I was able to create. It seems that not long ago it would take me hours to do one. The nice thing about having a few cards stockpiled is that when it has been a long day on my end I don't feel the pressure to create something. I am sure you all know what I am talking about.
Although I made this card last week, it is still fresh and new for you! I have had this big Heidi Swapp flower kickin' around in my stamp room for some time now and have been anxious to use it. I FINALLY found a home for it.
