Today is ANOTHER very special day in the Sears Family!!!! Today Laynee is turning 3!!!!! Where sis all my babies go?!!!! We celebrated Laynee’s birthday along with the twins’ when we were in Disney. And then we had a birthday party yesterday. So today will be a little low key. I am going to take the girls’ for a pedicure! Fun!!!! Here is my gorgious birthday girl…

Happy Birthday, Laynee Bug!!!!!

Are you ready for some stamping?!!!!

Here is another thank you card that I made with this beautiful stamp from paper pretties…..

I colored her in with my copic markers and the paper is retired and call Sweet Slumper Specialty. Enjoy!

I know that some of you think I am a little strange for making Christmas cards when it is 110 degrees outside. But come December- I want to have lots of cards ready to go so I can focus on other things like baking and shopping!!! So here is another card that I made using my copic markers. I am not going to lie- this card took me FOREVER to make!!! Ha ha!

The stamp set is from Stampin’ Up! and is called Holiday Line Up. I used this one quite a bit last year. I think all the images are adorable and fun to color when you are in the mood!!!

I have always loved the Stampin’ Up! set A Little Birdie because it i so much fun to paper piece. But I got brave on this one and colored the birdies with my copic markers. Fun! It’s a little hard to read the sentiment in this picture but it says "A little birdie told me….it’s time to celebrate!"

BTW- the patterned paper is retired and called Maine Blueberry.

I got a few new Copic markers and so I have been busy coloring!!! The card today uses the Billy stamps from Pink Cat Studios. I just love this one because he always reminds me of my little guy. It took quite a while to color him but I am so very pleased with the end result!!! I am finally getting better with these copics!!

Have a Happy Monday!

I LOVE to make smple cards. But I always struggle with making masculine cards. Almost all of my stamps are floral sets and I am addicted to ribbon and buttons! So making Father’s Day cards is always a huge challenge for me.

This is a super simple card that I made for my Father-In-Law using the set Boys Will Be Boys by Taylored Expressions. I just stamped the image on Kraft cardstock and colored it with my Copic markers. The white layer on the card was run through my Big Shot with one of the texture plates from Stampin’ Up!

I am taking a picture of the card I made for my hubby right now. I will schedule it for tomorrow. Promise!!!!

Today the kids have swim lessons, then swimming in the back yard. In the afternoon we are going to do a craft together and hopefully work on writing their names. I am so happy to have my hubby home today. Maybe I will be able to sneak a little stamping time in! Have a great Monday!!!

My kids are on their third week of swim lessons for the summer. I am pleasently suprised at how well they are all doing! It has been ages since I have shared kid pictures here on ym stamping blog- but I just can’t help it today! I LOVE swimming pictures! So if you are here for the card, you have my permission to scroll down!

This is my oldest, Kyler.

This is Makenzie. She is one of the twins and they will be turning 4 next month!!! Wow!

Here is her twin sister, Danika.

And this is my baby, Laynee. And she is going to be 3 next month!

Aren’t they adorable?!!!! I just love them!!!!

 

Now on to the card!!!! I was so excited when the Paper Pretties introduced this stamp as one of their stamps of the month! It reminds me of my girls!!!!!

I CASED this card big time!!!!! Becky Carafa made the orginal which you can see HERE. I changed the main image and the sentiment- but otherwise kept it the same. The colors in this DSP (which is retired) always remind me of summer! The stamp is from Paper Pretties and I colored her with Copic Markers, but the rest of the card is made with Stampin’ Up! supplies.

Recipe:

Stamps: Make a Splash (Paper Pretties)

Paper: Spring Break DSP (retired), Soft Sky (retired), Whisper White

Ink: Graphite Brilliance Black

Other: Copic Markers, Silver Brads, Spiral Punch

Today my hubby and I are taking the kids to go see Horten Hears a Who. I don’t know why- but I love that movie! So I am excited. Nothing like buttery popcorn and M&Ms for breakfast!!! Then after the movie, the three older kids have a singing class with Parks and Rec. They are thrilled about it!

So I am taking a bit of a risk showing you this card today. See I always tell my friends to check out my blog. But I don’t think my non-stamping friends really look!!! So I am showing you a Father’s Day card that I made for one of my bestest friends. We’ll see if he listens to me!!!

I got this stamp set Boys Will be Boys from Taylored Expressions just for my Father’s Day Cards! I needed a more manly set or my hubby would be getting a floral Father’s Day Card!!!! I stamped the image on Kraft cardstock and colored it with my Copics.

Recipe:

Stamps: Boy Will be Boys (Taylored Expressions)

Ink: Brilliance Black, Close to Cocoa

Paper: Patterned Paper by Cosmo Cricket, Kraft, Soft Sky, Garden Green, Whisper White

Other: Tag Punch, Linin Thread, Buttons from my stash, White Gel Pen, Copics

I used the same stamp from my card yesterday. I just gave it a new color combo!

Again the stamp is from Paper Pretties and the coloring was done with my Copics. The rest of the card was made with Stampin’ Up! stuff!

Paper: Summer Picnic DSP, Bashful Blue, Pacific Point, Whisper White, So Saffron

Ink: Black Brilliance

Other: So Saffron Grosgrain Ribbon, White Gel Pen

I joined the Paper Pretties Stamp of the Month club a while back. I wanted to work on coloring with my Copic Markers and so I thought it would be fun to get a new outline stamp in the mail each month! I still have a long way to go on learning to color with these things but I am sure having fun trying!

The stamp is by Paper Pretties. The coloring is done with Copics. And the rest of the card is made with Stampin’ Up stuff.

Paper: Summer Picnic, Real Red, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie

Ink: Brilliance Black Ink

Other: Pumpkin Pie Brads, Real Red Striped Ribbon, Small Oval Punch

I really mean to post this yesterday!!!! I had such good intentions. And then I forgot!!!! My brain is just getting a little slower every day!!! Anyway….I made this little easter basket tag for a friend’s daughter. It took me forever to do the paper piecing! But I think it was worth it!!!!

The stamp is from Paper Pretties and it is called Hipity Hop Sophia. I colored her with my Copics…..but I need so much more practice with that!

Hope you had a great Easter weekend!!!!
