it’s has been so busy with my son’s graduation and this was the only photo I was able to get snapped with his hat on. I am so proud of him 🙂
and then my daughter turned fifteen so fifteen of these gals went to dinner for her Birthday. My dd is on the right in blue.
fortunately I had a bit of time to make her a card with this new Hero Arts stamp here
lots and lots of tiny dots. The black dots are with the new Sharpie “fine” pen. Of course I had to use my trusty SRM sticker for the sentiment. I encourage for you to have some on had for a quick card. I used thissticker sheet here.
I used the sketch from CPS sketch challenge.
and I just have to show you this stamp set I am dying to buy. It’s one of the new releases from Penny Black called Betsy Bluebell. Isn’t she soooooo adorable….love her!! You can find her right here.
Thanks for stopping and sorry I haven’t been by your blog. Have a great week 🙂
