So Shabby Chic!

Hi Stampin’ Friends I want to wish my granddaughter, Rachel, a very, very Happy 7th Birthday! On the way to Wal-Mart for groceries yesterday morning, we kept encountering dead armadillos on the road  AKA  Arkansas Speed Bumps or according to my husband a “Good Armadillo”!  The North American nine-banded armadillo tends to jump straight in the air when surprised, and consequently often collides with the undercarriage or fenders of passing vehicles. … Read More »

Amazing Friend

Hi Stampin’ Friends I changed the sentiment on my card – see original post here.  I like it so much more with the “correct” sentiment stamped in Gumball Green.  I used the Amazing Family Clear Mount Stamp Set.  This set is very vintage and on trend.  So versatile–and perfect for family birthday cards because it has the words mother, father, brother and sister.  .

This card is much too fussy for a man so I’m going to try and remove the sentiment… Read More »
