Feel better

I am so glad to have had the time to enter in the Paper Smooches blog found here and the CASual Fridays blog found here.  Oh, make sure you stop by the Casual Friday's blog.  They have some fun news!

Okay, I must say I can't get these neon inks off my desk. I took some liberties with the Paper Smooches color combo and made it neon, hope it is okay :).  I have a hard time hanging off the end of a card, but this one ended up fun. You can't go wrong with neon, it makes everything happy LOL! The darker hexigons are actually colored with a glaze pen.  I also glazed the heart as well.  Such a fun touch.

It's a good life!

Neon Thanks!

Here was my second card. I am digging my neon inks. I don't want to put these cuties down. Again, this was for Make it Monday found here.  I also found a fun 10 minute challenge found here at pretty pink posh blog that insipred the colors on this card. 

How fun did this one turn out?  I totally forgot to say this only took me 7 minutes!!!   Loved the 10 minute dash.  It did help that I already had the foam letters ready to go from the lat crd ;)
It's a good life!

Hello Again

I have to just come clean and realize that I am a fareweather blogger. Thankfully I am still able to go up and stamp. Izzy and I love the challenges, but for some reason getting the pictures taken and uploaded takes a lot of time that I don't always have. So here are the cards for the most recent make it Monday challenge from PTI.

The letters were fun to cut out. The biggest problem I have with this challenge is the uneven puffy letters. Oh well!

It's a good life!

Sweet baby

Did any of you order PTI this month? I hadn't planned on it, but then I just had to get the teacher set. With Izzy starting kindergarten it will get a lot of use through the years.

This weeks MIM found here was to stich on your card. I wish I had a better photo, the card turned out cute. I stiched around the bunnies ears and then around one of the circles. I used the retro card sketch blog challenge found here for my sketch.

It's a good life!

Sparks challenge

Okay cleaning out the stamping room and adding the other desk has been the best thing! Cece my 2 year old asks to go stampin all of the time. We were up there for 20 minutes this morning. Awesome!

With all of the extra time in the stmaping room I have been able to participate in some much loved challenges. Here is my entry for the sparks sketch challenge this week found here.

Loved how this one turned out! Hope you have a wonderful week. My first born is getting ready to go to Kindergarten this year.  I am having a hard time letting go.  Any tips or suggestions with that?
It's a good life!

Water coloring with PTI

MIM from Papertrey Ink this week was water coloring with PTI ink pads. I really haven't done this technique in a long time. It was a lot of fun. This is going to be for our nanny Hannah who will be leaving us on Friday to head to college. It is really fun for her, but we are so sad to see her go.

Loving this sentiment, just saying :) I used the galdeolis stamp because we planted a ton of bulbs and Hannah and the girls watered and watched those all summer. On a side note, do you have to remove those bulbs every year? What is the scoop on that?

It's a good life!

We're on the move

Well, it has been a fun few weeks here. I am in major nesting mode around here. Izzy starts Kindergarten on Friday! Isn't that crazy? She is my first to go to school, so I am freaking out a little bit. That also means there has been a crack down around here. Stamping room neat and organized, check. Office neat and organized, check. Now I have to get the papers orgaized and a system put into place.
Here is the card I busted out for the Color Q challenge this week and Paper Smootches challenge travelicious. Well, after checking all of my paper smooches, I realized that I really need to get more LOL! I had to incorporate some PTI so that I had my travel part corvered.

Oh, not only am I loving Papersmooches stamps still, but I adore SU's new ink pads. Really they are fabulous with the clear stamps. Finally!
It's a good life!
