Today, my sweet twin girls turned 5! My kids’ birthdays are always bitter sweet for me. I am happy to spoil them, celebrate and see their smiles but I don’t want them to grow up!!!! They are my babies!!!! Just look at how sweet they were…

and still are…..

So between the first day of school craziness, shopping, wrapping, baking 4 dozen cupcakes for their classes and entertaining these munchkins, I have had NO time to stamp. It’s killing me!!!!

But don’t get too worried because I still have one last card to show you that I made last week…

I like the clean look of the bright birthday banner on the white cardstock…

I CASED the card from one I saw on the front cover of Card Style magazine. I just hand drew a pennent shape on the cardstock and then traced it a few more times. That silver cord was super hard to work with!!!! In the future I would use colored floss or string. So much easier!

I am off to get some shut eye so I am ready (as I will ever be) for a 5 year old birthday party tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by!

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!

Here are just a couple pics of my kiddos from yeasterday!!!

You will be seeing these on a scrapbook page soon!!!! Hope everyone had a great day!

I didn’t get a chance to photograph the card that I made for my hubby : (   But I will take a picture in the morning so I can share it with you tomorrow. In the meantime, here are a couple pics I took today of my sweetie and his babies….

I feel so very blessed! I love them all!

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

 

 

 

Super simple digi layout for you today!!!! And the best part (well other than the sweet pic of my daughter) is that I used a FREE kit to make the page!!!! If you want to download it, click HERE. But if you are a paper scrapper, this page would be easy to achieve that way as well. You could use ribbon, dsp, flower fusion and brads. Then you could stamp the title or even computer generate it.

Here is the screen saver/wallpaper on my computer for March…

It uses the same kit!!!! But….you don’t even have to create this one!!! Click HERE to download the desktop. Add your own pictures and you’re done!!!

Have a creative day!

I had such an amzing response to my stamp sale yesterday! I spent a couple of hours responding to email and sending Paypal invoices. But wouldn’t you know it, no one got the invoices!!!!!!!!! I am not so sure why. But no worries- I will sit down and resend those invoices this afternoon. Sorry for the delay. There are still several sets for sale, so please scroll down to my last post and check them out!

I have not had any time to stamp : (  My hubby worked a lot over the weekend and so I had kid duty. And then yesterday I was so busy sending those invoices : (   Last night while I was in bed, I had the urge to sneek down to my craft room and do some stamping. He he he. I resisted since I knew I needed all the sleep I could get!!! But I do have a fun digi scrapbook page to show you. I am having the best time making these!!!!!

Yummy!!!! I love the bright colors!!!! And of course, I think that Laynee looks ADORABLE!!!!! I just took the picture on Sunday!!! And I already scrapped it!!! I love to scrap the pictures that I am most excited about! I can’t wait to get this page printed at Cosco and stick it in her album!

I used this really fun and bright kit from the Sweet Shoppe called Baby Brights. You will be seeing more of this kit for sure!!!

Ok- I am off to story time at the library with my son. And then back here to send invoices again. And then I am going to stamp!!!! See ya tomorrow!

I am not feeling well, STILL, and decided to use this down time to try my hand at some digi scrapping. I am learning….

I used a kit called Heartstrings for both of these layouts.

I like how they turned out! But I have so many questions!!! Someday I will figure this out!!! Hope that you had a happy Valentine’s Day!

Over the past 2 weeks, I have managed to get quite a few scrapbook layouts done!!! They are all pretty basic and simple. But my goal in scrapbooking is to my children the stories about their childhood that they would never remember otherwise. I don’t worry too much about "getting caught up." I just scrapbook the pictures and the stories that are most meaningful to me in the moment.  I focus on photos and journaling. Enjoy the layouts!

So what do you think? Are you motivated to get scrapping?!!!

I cannot believe that my "baby" is 5 today!!!! He is actually my oldest- but as I always tell him "you are always my baby." Isn’t he handsome?

Of course he is!!!!

Kyler is having a birthday party with some of his (and my!) friends this weekend. I have to admitt that I actually sent out an evite. It is just so much easier for everyone to RSVP!!! But then I made some invites for some of his friends from school and piano class that I did not have email addresses for. I love the way they turned out! Kyler said that they are "cool." I wanted to play our new wii but told myself I couldn’t until the invites were made. An hour later I was playing wii!!!

Here is a peak at the inside…

I used my cmputer and printer to write all the details!

Recipe:

Stamps: Prehistoric Pals, Hugs & Wishes

Paper: Maine Blueberry DSP, Kraft, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White
