Hello SUN!

Yes it's hot and sunny here in Southern California! But, it looks like the clouds are coming this way. It will be nice for it to cool down a bit. This weeks challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is "Sunshine". Here is my card....
One fun thing I noticed about this card after taking the picture is the reflection of the flash....kind of looks like a little grin. :)

Ingredients:

Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight

Ink: Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Baja Breeze

Stamps: Inspired By Nature

Accessories: Daisies Die #2, Big Shot, 1-3/8" Circle punch, Sponges, Crystal Effects

Simple Card, but super cute!

I Have Some Cute Kids

I just wanted to share with you a couple of cute pics of my boys. The twins are starting First Grade on Monday and the baby is officially 7 months old. Time flies.....especially when you are having fun.






I Love my guys!! ~Krista

Button, Button, Who's Got The Button?

The challenge this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments is using buttons on your projects. This is what I came up with....


Okay, so I'd like to take full credit for this super cute idea, but I must tell you that Emily from the Jones Design Company gave me the inspiration. She made her button flowers into a bouquet. I made mine into a cute card! Don't you just think it is so cute?! I LOVE the bright and fun colors, too!!

Ingredients:

Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, Real Red

Stamps: Swirls and Curls Verses

Accessories: Bold Buttons (SU), Wire, Olive GG Ribbon, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, Pennant Punch, Beautiful Butterfly Embosslit

I hope you have a fabulous day filled with Sunshine and Buttons! :)

Happy Stamping,

Happy 4th of July

Welcome to my front door....here is my decor. (That rhymed! LOL!)

So bummed they discontinued the "welcome" decor element. My neighbor wanted me to make her one of these and I tried to order it...but I was too late. I'll have to order some vinyl sheets and make my own with the Big Shot.

Another thing we have on our porch is bird pooh. A family of Swallows have migrated and stopped here. We decided not to stop them from calling our porch home. Here is a shot of the messy little cutie pies.

I know we got the "tail end" of one of them, that's how they leave us the pile 'o surprise each day. YUCK! They'll probably be gone soon since it's getting really hot out. I bet they'll be heading north with their little one(s). I can't see in the nest since it's about 12 feet up inside our entryway. I can't wait to see them take their first flight. I'm wondering if they'll be dive bombers like their parents??

Have a fun and safe 4th and GOD BLESS THE USA!!!
