Happy 4th of July Weekend!!

I'm so excited to start our 4th of July weekend! We have lots of fun plans with family and friends! Like last year, we started off the fun with PARENT SWIM PRACTICE! JP and I participated in a few fun relays with his friends and their parents. It was lots of fun but I'm TIRED!

I wanted to make a few patriotic cards to have on hand for our festitivities but I still do not have any patriotic sets (see here for last years cards!). But...I thought that these flowers from the NEW hostess set, Kind and Caring Thoughts looked like they could be fireworks! What do you think?

I colored the stamp using my Real Red and Night of Navy markers, stamped them, then went over them with a glue pen and glitter so they have a little shimmer!

Stamps: Kind and Caring Thoughts (new hostess set), A Little Birdie Told Me

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Real Red, Whisper White

Surf's Up!

I was waiting for Will to wake up so that I could take the kids to the pool/swim practice and got inspired to make a card! How cute is this???

I used Pick a Petal for my "boards"! (JP told me that they look like raindrops!). I also used Pink Flamingo DSP, Whisper White CS, Summer Sun and Tempting Turquoise ink and cardstock.The alphabet is a retired set, Quirky Lower Alpha (I think!!) And of course I used dimensionals (I love these little sticky guys!).
Don't forget that the retired list is out! Things are starting to sell out so if there is something that you want, get it now! I made the mistake of waiting too long to order one of the scrapbook kits and it's gone...!
Well, Will is still sleeping but I better wake him up! If we time it right, we'll get to the pool right after break is over. Yes, we have going to the pool down to an exact science...!
Have a great Monday!!

Top Note Purse Cards

I recently saw this idea and had to try it out myself! I think that they are adorable! What a great use of Stampin' UP! Designer Series Paper. I've got A LOT to use! What do you think...?

On an unrelated note, Allison Marie is 11 weeks old today! WOW! These past 11 weeks have gone by way too fast! She is such a great baby and we are so blessed to have her in our lives! Here is a picture that I took of her this morning! And yes...she is this happy pretty much all the time!
While I was making cards and Allison was sleeping, Ben and Will spent time at the "Wiemann Country Club"! They had a great time splashing each other and washing their dinosaurs in the pool. At one point Ben yelled in the house to ask me where dinosaurs go to the bathroom! Not quite sure where that one came from! Here are pictures of the "little boys"....JP was at school!
