Happy Birthday Allison!!!

Today is one of my fellow Little Paper Shop designers birthday!!! Happy Birthday to miss Allison...please go on over to her blog and wish her a Happy Day!!!So in ohonor of her birthday I thought I would post this super cute card! The paper is from Stampin' Up! And it's called Pink Flamingo...I love the bright summery colors and I thought it would be a perfect July card!



For the accent's I simply used a button (That I "Borrowed" from my daughters sunday School project! What kind of mom am I?) and some linnen thread...love that stuff! I also used some Stampin' Up! chunky glitter on the top of the cupcake...Love the way this looks! I think I might be addicted becauase I've made 3 cupcake cards this week and I have used the chunky glitter on all 3!!! Anywho, I also paper pieced her dress and the capcake wapper with matching paper...too cute if I do say so myself!


The coloring was done using my water color wonder crayons and a blender pen.


Supplies:
Stamps: Katie Cupcake by Little Paper Shop
Paper: temting turquoise, real red, naturals white, flamingo designer paper
Ink: Stazon black
Accessories: linnen thread, button, water color wonder crayons, blender pens, dimentionals

Let me know what you think!


Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs and Happy Stampin'

We have internet! And Happy 4th!!!

Bella Loved the fire works, just not how loud they were! Andrew my sweet husband made a different face every time I took a picture! Gotta love him! This year is the year of my best fireworks pictures...I don't remember them ever turning out this nice...and I always try!

Here's one of the fam enjoying the fireworks...it's not that chilly, but the kids enjoy wearing a coat from time to time...and since they aren't normally up when the weather gets colder at night...and it really wasn't even that cold, but compared to 90 degree days it was a bit chilly!

And I just had to share this awesome picture...we were able to use the whole water park to ourselves today...well when I say to ourselves I mean us and about 1ooo other nice people from the instalation here...so it was nice to celebrate independence day at the park...we swam, went down slided and jumped off diving boards. Ate hot dogs and hamburgers, yummy cake, dancing, tug of war, volley ball and of course ended the night with fireworks...a good time was had by all...and I just love this pic of Emelia that I had to share with you all!

Enjoy your 4th of July! May you always remember that freedom is not free and always remember the sacrifice that was given for you!
May God bless our troops always! And may we bless God with our respect and love...Jesus sacrificed himself for us as well!

I am back in buisness and am soooo happy to have internet back! I have been without a continuos connection since we moved out of our house of the 5th of January...it's now July for pete's sake! I can't believe that I'm typing to you from the comforts of my own home...not a hotel lobby or library somewhere...for a while there I was using my awesome new laptop in my car with the wifi fromt he library...that way I could keep the kids contained...LOL
Stay Safe and Happy Stampin'
