Best Nephew...

You guessed it right this card is for my Nephew... He is in his 20's and really is the best nephew. Let me tell you a little about him he is in the Army and is married with two of the sweetest kids. Which makes me a great aunt. How cool is that?  I just love them all to pieces. 

I told you it was a big birthday month for me. I love April...

I went a little crazy with his card but I think it came out totally fun. I LOVE Precious Remembrance Shop stamps because they are so artsy. Whatever you combine it just looks cool.

I created this card using:

• Precious Remembrance Shop: Mom & Dad stamp set
• Precious Remembrance Shop: Journey stamp set
• Precious Remembrance Shop: Positive Thoughts stamp set
• Precious Remembrance Shop: New Day stamp set
• Sugar Pea Designs: Sweet Sentiments You stamp set
• Elle's Studio: Malia Alphabets stamp set
• Lawn Fawn: Fish Tank, Sunflower, Mermaid, Forget-me-not, Jalapeño and Blue Jay ink pads

Well that is all for today.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a fantastic day!

Inspire Me...

Happy Monday everyone.. Sorry I have not been around to your blogs lately but I just got back from Palm Springs. We had a nice LONG trip and I had a great time. Bonus I got a great tan. With all the rain we have been getting here in CO it made it hard to get my tan on. But nothing like sitting at the pool most of the day and eating lots of great food.

So today I am playing along with Jenn Shurkus 10th Blogiversary. I seen this gorgeous canvas on her blog and was totally inspired.

On today's card I am playing with: Lawn Fawn: Flutter By, Precious Remembrance Shop New Day and DIY Stamp sets, Lawn Fawn Fundamentals: Peacock, Fishtank and Freshly Cut Grass. This card was so fun to make with all these fun patterns and colors. 

Thanks for stopping by.
