Birthday Thanks and Award

I made these awhile ago for my son's birthday thank you cards. He proudly signed most of them. He turned 4 this birthday, so signing his name is a big deal!

All Supplies are StampinUp!, but the water color paper.

Card Details:

Stamps: Crazy for Cupcakes, Flight of the Butterfly

Ink: Black Stazon, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, YoYo Yellow

Paper: Cool Caribbean (retired in-color), Tempting Turquoise, Mead water-color paper

Embellishment: Temping Turquoise grosgrain ribbon

Technique: water coloring, masking (the balloons were stamped 3x and one balloon was masked so the string wouldn't stamp over top)

Earlier this month I received this blogger award! I was so touched. At the same time I was overwhelmed with Christmas preparations, so I'm just now getting around to this. I was given this award by June and you can see her blog My Creative Corner here.



I'm now supposed to list 6 things I like, 6 things I don't care for, and nominate 6 others. So...

Things I like....

1 Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, and Basic Gray color combination.

2 Great friends, especially the ones as obsessed with stamping as me!

3 Blog surfing

4 ribbon (I mostly like to hoard it)

5 sticky strip

6 alone time to stamp

Things I Don't care for...

1 Washing my Stampin Scrub

2 cutting layers the wrong size (what is up with those days!)

3 paying for shipping

4 editing photos

5 Kiwi Kiss (I can't say I "get" this color)

6 buttons (just not my favorite embellishment)

I nominate anyone who visits here and has a blog. Thank you all for stopping by here. Have a wonderful New Year!
