My card today uses the Paper Pretties SOTM from June. I don’t know the name : ( It didn’t have a label on it. But it has become my very favorite Paper Pretties stamp so far!!!!! This one really reminds me of my little girls since I always dress them in dresses and big hair bows!!!! These will be great for their birthday thank you notes.
Ok here is a close-up of the coloring. I have been practicing, but still have a ways to go!
I just love paper piecing her dress!!!!! So fun!!! The paper is a retired pack from Stampin’ Up! And the colors are Pumpkin Pie, Pretty in Pink, and Regal Rose.
I have a scrapbook page for you tomorrow!

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.

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 am such a bad blogger!!!!! So sorry!!!!! I won’t bore you with excuses!!!
Do you remember this fun little jornal that I designed to be a make-and-take for my MOPS group? Last Friday, they all got to make them! It was so fun to watch all these women get creative and crafty!!! And the final products were VERY cute! I had my camera with me- but didnt have a chance to take any pictures until almost everyone was gone : ( But I did get pics of two journals that my dear friend, Vicki, made. Great job, Vicki!!!!
This one was made with some very old Stampin’ Up paper. I think it was called Sarah. The flower is by Making Memories.
This one is made with some Marcella K paper and the flower is from the Stampin’ Up! Pretties kit.
The Amazing Grace sentiment is from a stamp set by Papertrey called Women of Life.
I am going to schedule a post for tomorrow right now!!!!! So be sure to come back!!!!

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!!!!
