Ssssuper Day!

We wrapped up VBS with a closing program & picnic this morning after our regular church service. Whew! The week went well overall with just a couple bumps in the road. I think the kids had fun, though, and learned a lot, and that's what really matters.

Now Shannon's off to a birthday-palooza, a combined party for four of her classmates! Here's one of the cards I made:



Details:
Cricut cartridges - Create a Critter and Base Camp (font)
Patterned paper - K&Company - Rough and Tumble
Cardstock - Martha Stewart (green & blue); Bazzill (orange & yellow); Georgia Pacific (white)
Accessories - font - Bookman Old Style; glitter glue - Stickles; brads - Making Memories; marker - Sharpie; googlie eyes - unknown

Hope your day is ssssuper too!

Happy Day!

It's birthday party season! There's something about spring that seems to trigger the need to celebrate among the ten and under set. My 6-year-old's social calendar for the next few months puts my last 5 or so years to shame. But that's okay because if I'm lucky, like today, I get a little adult interaction in the process of dropping off and picking up my lil' social butterfly.

I made the card above for one of my daughter's classmates, who had a bug/insect themed party today. To make the space in the grass for the ladybug, I stamped half of the Row of Grass stamp (thank you Jason & Megan!) from Daisy Bucket Designs on each side of the paper. The ladybug and sentiment are from Heidi Grace Designs.

I colored the card with Copic markers, which are lovely alcohol-based markers that color like a dream. I have just a small collection of these markers, so I'm just a novice with them, but they are absolutely fantastic. I especially like to use them when I want bright, vibrant colors, particularly for kids' cards.

Wishing you a happy day too!
