Summertime Kids!!

Hello again & a very Happy Friday to ya! I'm so happy for the weekend again, LOL! Riley has a friend spending the night tonight & then they're going paintballing with hubby tomorrow! Alexa and I have one last chorus performance to attend and then we're getting pedicures for fun! I also have a lot of work to catch up on cuz' Monday is the first of the month, which means all kinds of projects to get done! And if you know me, I'm a last minute kinda gal--my mojo works best when its stressed, LOL! Hopefully the weather will brighten up and we can grill out & go for a hike along the Potomac River too! We also booked a house in Hilton Head Island, SC for 2 weeks this summer & I'm soooo excited. It's right across from the beach & sits on the lagoon--you can fish right off the deck (Riley is so lovin' that)! Two whole fun weeks--yay, can't wait!! Anywho, I hope you have some fabulous plans for the weekend!

For today I want to share 2 cards I've made using the fabulous new Summer Kit stamps from Whiff of Joy (Elisabeth Bell)! These stamps are available now at 7 Kids College Fund--for pre-order and they will be in store next week! This card uses "Sitting Summer Willow"--isn't she a lovely? I used some of my new fabulous dp by Melissa Frances available at Emma's Paperie. The sentiment is from WOJ too and I've added lots of white pearls. My main image was cut out with my circle nestabilities.
To finish her off I added Shimmerz in Angel Wings to her dress and hat. I also embossed the back panel with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder (a must have IMO). You likee her?

This fun patriotic boy card was made using WOJ's "Oakley with Wooden Sign" and the layout is this week's SCS sketch! He was colored w/ my Copics & then cut out and popped up on top of the WOJ "tree stump"--perfect together. The "hi there" sentiment is from PTI's "Mega Mixed Messages" set which fit perfectly on the sign. I faux stitched around the dk. blue cs (cuz' i don't like to sew) and stacked buttons on top of each other & tied off with Scrappers Floss. All the dp is by SU too! Those beautifully fun glittered baubles in blue are NEW and available from my friend Marti's store, Pez-a-Doodle Designs! She has them in a few colors & you can pre-order all the new colors--I've got my order in, I lovee them!!

Alrighty, that's all for me today. I've gotta get some projects done and I'll be back here tomorrow with another "vintage" project for ya!! Have a great Friday!!
