I saw this die/stamp set on Instagram and knew I wanted it in my collection.  So darn cute!  I have learned all about brad sizes now.  I did not buy from Close To My Heart because I missed that little detail so I got them from Amazon.

Birthday Hugs card

This girl is just too cute!  Love this stamp from Whipper Snapper Designs.  I made this card for one of my very talented card making friends.  I had a misfortunate Copic marker blop so I ended up coloring the image twice.  Luckily I still had all my markers out on my craft table.

Happy Summer card

Saturday is the first day of summer but we've had a few days that have made me think it's already here.  I saw this paper on Simon Says Stamp and my resolve not to buy any more paper until I used what I had went out the window.  It was too cute to pass up.  Then I looked at watermelon stamps and saw one that I already owned from Lawn Fawm.  Perfect!
