On to life..
My son came home today and said it was the best day ever! Love that! Apparently the fire dep’t was there today for field day at the school and they got more then a little wet starting out with a bucket brigade. My kiddo is excited about summer, but is worried about missing out on his friends. Summer for us is short and sweet as it is year round school. I am already looking at our break in fall and what/where we can go camping. Yearbooks came out this week and my little one was looking through his as I was filling up gas. I looked in the window of the truck and he said with the perfect smile and a cock of the head. “I love you Mom. Thank you for this.” as he pointed at the yearbook. he had found our ad in the yearbook for him that said how proud again we were of him. The first thing he flips to when showing off his yearbook is the ad in the back from us beaming over him. It is wonderful that I can make him smile with just a few words immortalized in print in this little book filled with smiling faces. love my life..

Have a great day!
Enjoy!

My baby girl turned 16!  *sigh*  And she definitely fits the SWEET!  She is a tomboy so I went for the denim look for her card.  I used a Judikins stamp.  Stamped it twice using faded jeans Ranger Distress Ink.  (The detail of this stamp required that I brayer the ink onto the stamp rather than dabbing – not sure why that makes a difference but it makes a HUGE difference in the image.)  I cut out the pocket on one image and pop dotted the sides and bottom to the card base that had the same image stamped.  Added a little distressing with Old Paper Distress ink and a sponge to the pop dotted pocket and the few areas of the edge of the card.  I used just the birthday sentiment from Visual Designs by Chris file #CD00731.  I used mini brads for the dot of the i and the point of the exclamation.  Added a few stitch marks with black thread.  Cut the 16 from Sizzix Fun Serif dies.  The “sweet” was from a K & Co. package from years ago.  Added a green brad to pull the color of the dots from the patterned paper of the 16.  Topped with a green button that was pre-threaded.  I drive myself crazy sometimes with the little details.  *wink* ~Angie~ (Missouri) ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://www.visualdesignsbychris.com (cutters: Blue Wishblade and Cricut Expression)

A card for my niece, Spencer, who graduated yesterday.  What is it about Pomp and Circumstance that makes you bawl like a baby?  LOL  My girls were making fun of me because Spencer came out before the ceremony in her cap and gown.  I was looking at her thinking of when she was a baby and of moments as she was growing up… then the thought crossed my mind that I was going to hear Pomp and Circumstance soon and I couldn’t stop the tears.  *sigh*  The wedding march has the same effect on me.  LOL  I used part of the Visual Designs by Chris file #CD00832 called Senioritis ’11.  It pretty much made the card.  Added a few dotted circle stamped images, some bling and a ribbon.  Enhanced the 11 with a little white pen stitching using a chalk writer from Zig.  Used my corner chomper on two corners.  Of course, red and black were her school colors. ~Angie~ (Missouri) ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://www.visualdesignsbychris.com (cutters: Blue Wishblade and Cricut Expression)
