Minty Fresh Friends!!

Hello and YAY Happy Friday to ya too!  Not that the weekend is going to be any less busy for me, but it's still the weekend right?! LOL!  The kids have off school today and they're off busy with friends, which is good for me so I can try and get a lot of projects done!  Although Riley is having 2 boys spend the night so that means it will be LOUD--but they'll stay down in our finished basement most of the time!  Then the rest of the weekend is family time with birthday parties, some shopping and gardening.  We're at a point as a family that we have to schedule family time now, hee hee---the kids have more social activities now that they're older.  We've always been such a "4-pack" and done everything together, all the time.  Hubby and I never really had to many dates the first 10 years of marriage when we had kids--we never had babysitters very often other than my parents and occasionally a family friend.  We just always had the kids with us--a lot of times we had anniversary dinners with them too, LOL!  And now that they're older they can stay home by themselves or they're off with friends which means hubby and I get date night once a week--what a revelation and it's wonderful I must say.  Sometimes we'll just grab a bite to eat late in the evening or like tomorrow night we'll see a movie and have dinner (Date Night with Tina Fey).  It's good to have that time and catch up again--once the kids are gone out of the house it will just be us, so it's good to keep that part of relationship alive & well!  If I had to do it over again, I would add more babysitters over the years but that's said and done and we all live & learn, right?!

Minty Fresh!!


Today's card uses a brand new Stampavie stamp by Gillian Roberts called "Teddy & Me"--isn't she a sweetheart!  I just love her and that cute bear!  I used this week's SCS Sketch #276 for my layout and all the papers and cardstock are from PTI (New Leaf & Aqua Mist)--the sentiment is from PTI's set "Handwritten Notes" too!

The white trim in the background was made with a new MS border punch called "Scroll Lace"--love these punches (although I have a ton, I keep buying more, help me please, lol)!  I used pearls for corner accents and the large aqua flower on top of the twill bow is from Prima--it matches PTI's aqua mist papers perfectly!



She's colored with Copics of course (BG18,BG23,BG11,BG10, E43,E42,E41,E50) and then I've added diamond glaze to her shoes and stickles to her shirt and teddy's bow!  Minty fresh fun friends for you!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and I'll see ya back here on Monday!! (it's a fun Magnolia-licious Blog Hop that day)
