Happy Wednesday! We have a new challenge starting today at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! It's...ANYTHING GOES!!

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Art Impressions. I am using the super sweet In The Air Clear Stamp Set for my card. I colored in the images with Spectrum Noir Primaries Colourblend Pencils. I then added some Glossy Accents to the balloon.

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Art Impressions. They have so many adorable stamps! The only problem is I grabbed the wrong stamp when I made this card! It is actually a stamp called Eskimo Kisses and it is by Impression Obsession! Oops! But it still fits the theme! :) Make sure you check out what the rest of the amazing DT did with their AI stamps!

I colored in the image with some Distress Markers and lots of Doodlebug Sugar Coating Glitter. I also used the Abby Snowflake Die, Stitched Circles Dies and the sentiment is from the Big Scripty Greetings Holiday Clear Stamp Set all by Simon Says Stamp.

Last week we took a little (much needed) family vacation to Pennsylvania. The kids wanted to see Thomas the Train and Percy.

We stayed at this amazing hotel called Eden Resort. If you ever go to the Lancaster area and want a fabulous hotel to stay at, this is the one!! So clean, super nice staff and the there are giant indoor and outdoor pools, a huge splash pad area for kids, a playground, shuffle boards, basketball and bacci courts, putting green, outdoor pool table and ping pong tables, 3 restaurants, and more! You never have to leave! There is the main hotel which is beautiful and then there are these amazing villas that are separate from the hotel. That is where we stayed. We had a kitchen, which came in handy with 2 kids but I didn't cook, (YAY!) a living room with a fireplace, bedroom and a huge 2 room bathroom! We did not want to leave and we plan on going back very soon! I highly recommend it! I'm not a hotel enabler, usually, but this place was great! You can check it out HERE! ;)    

Hope you all have a super sweet day filled with love and happiness!

♥ Let's hang out ♥

It's HOT here!! 99 degrees yesterday and today is gonna be a scorcher too! Whew! Summer is definitely here a few days early! Starting today my son has half days of school until next Wednesday. Because of all the snow days they had this year, they are school longer to make them up. I can't wait for him to be home for Summer break!! I can't believe he is going into the 3rd grade already! It's so true when people say to enjoy your little ones because they grow up so quick! This picture feels like yesterday! :)

Today starts a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge is...
                         
                                        "You Gotta Have Friends!" 

Friends are such an important part of our lives and we do need to cherish them. Lets make something especially for them and let them know how special they are to us.

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Art Impressions! I used the super cute Owl and Monkey Front and Back Mini Stamp Set. {It is not in stock at the moment but will be soon! There are some other cute AI Front and Back stamps in stock though! Check them out HERE!}I used the cute monkey from the set. Colored him in with some Distress Markers and then adhered the front and back of him inside a die cut circle on the card front.

I used the Woodland Branch Die and Tender Leaves Dies by Memory Box. I also used some Woodgrain Kraft Cardstock by Simon Says and the Wood patterned paper is from the Base Coat 12x12 Paper Pack by Kaiser. I finished it off with some White Pearls and Natural Twine.

Here is the back of the monkey! :)
