Hey everyone! Well, you probably had no clue that I was gone and now I'm back again! We had a fabulous vacation visiting family and friends in Vancouver. My cousin got married so it was an excellent opportunity to see all of our family! We took our kids to the Telus Science Centre in Vancouver and they LOVED it. I was constantly counting (kids, that is: 1,2,3,4 - the fifth was easy, he's stuck in the buggy!). I should have dressed them all in neon to make them easy to spot ... :) But, that's all 5 of them in the first pic and the other picture is of me (in the centre with my "bug-eye" sunglasses, LOL!) and two of my sisters (I have three sisters, one wasn't able to come for this weekend).
Stamps: Paradise, Framed with Love, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Old Olive
Ink: Old Olive, Bravo Burgundy, Stazon™
Accessories: Lots of Tags Sizzlets die, Little Leaves Sizzlits Die, Eyelet Border Punch, Silver Brads, Crystal Effects®, Dimensionals®, Burgundy Wide Grosgrain, Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plate
I took a peek at the featured stamper challenge late on Saturday night and was immediately inspired to create this card after I'd seen this one by minnidr. I'd never seen her gallery, so it was quite a treat! As per the challenge rules (to change at least 2 things), I changed pretty much everything but the layout and even that I changed a bit. I moved the panel to the right and added a shaped edge with the Eyelet border punch. I don't think you can see it, but the centre of the sentiment is covered with crystal effects and the Olive piece is dry embossed using the Backgrounds 1 texturz plate.
Sooooooooooo, hope you like this card! Have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by!
But you didn't come here to see and read all this chit chat! Here's a card I made after we got back with some new stamps that were delivered while I was gone!

Nice card. I had to laugh reading your story about counting kids. My sister (and her 2 kids) and I (and my 4 kids) along with my 16 y.o. stepdaughter went to a children's museum last week. It was constantly "1,2,3,4,5,6" and sometimes "1,2,3,4,5, uh-oh one's missing!" We were outnumbered 2 to 1! (the 6 kids range from 1-6)
So I can relate and had to chuckle, I am not the only kid counter!
