29 Again?

Hi everyone!

We've had a beautiful weekend, unfortunately it went way to fast!  I've been working on some other projects and haven't had a lot to post, - things are coming! In the meantime, I will say that I have been playing around with alcohol ink markers. They are different than pencils, I'm trying to get the hang of it.  I have to tell myself,  just like I tell my grandkids "practice, practice, practice!"

Here is my 1st card I've made using Spectrum Noir markers. This is a cute digi stamp from Bugaboo stamps.  I'm entering this into the Little Red Wagon  Challenge #307, "Try Something New".

Supplies I used to create this card: 

Bugaboo Stamps Stella Over the Hill

Paper Smooches Birthday Sampler sentiment

BoBunny Surprise Collection 6x6 paper pad

Red cardstock

Spectrum Noir alcohol markers

MFT Fishtail Flags STAX

Spellbinders Lacy Circles dies

Fiskars border punch

Hi everyone!
I hope you're enjoying your weekend. My weekend has been awesome! I went to to the Scrapbook Expo in Mesa, AZ with my scrapping besties.  We had a great time, we can hardly wait to get together to play with our new goodies! I had to finish up on some cards, before I went to play. So I'm getting this card posted to the Tiddly Ink challenge, "Don't be Square." The challenge is not to use anything that is a square! I love the pumpkin circle die!

Happy Anniversary!

Our dear friends are celebrating their anniversary. Woo-Hoo! Congrats! It was last year that we saw a little video at our church and in a nutshell the message was, "We can celebrate a birthday without doing anything.  Celebrate your anniversaries - that's an effort by two people to commit to their relationship through thick and thin for another year."  Not that it takes a ton of effort but too often we take those relationships for granted.

Happy Anniversary David & Julie!

Bugaboo digi stamp Gus & Stella
