Patriotic Wall Hangers

Today was the first day of Summer Vacation!  So we decided since the last few weeks we have been on the go nonstop that today would be a lazy day!!  It was nice we slept in and the kids did their own thing played Legos, Wii, watch some TV, and even read some too.  They also played with Liana also when my DT Sister AJ came over to craft!   I  made my Design Team Item for the week and made my item for my Mixed Media Swap.  Since last time I waited till the night before to finish it up.  I'm ahead for July now.  I even painted some other things that I hoped to finish and post tonight but if not I will post them tomorrow sometime after I get done cleaning up the house.  It is in need of some good cleaning!! 

This month theme is Free Choice.  So I went with these little 7x7 Patriotic Wall Hangers.  I used some 7x7 pieces of chipboard that came in my package of scrapbook pages.  All the paper I used was from Joann's a few weeks ago when they had a sale on Paper.  I love this stamp set from CTMH it is Vintage USA.  I stamped with Outdoor Denim and Cranberry from CTMH.  The 2 ribbons  used are Celebrate It from American Collection that I got from Michael.

BFF Card

Hello Everyone!
I made this card yesterday before the kids got out of school.  They just had a half day so I wasn't able to get my card posted before I picked them up.  Then we had too much going on the rest of the day that I never made it back to my craft room. 

I hope you enjoy my new card!  I bought this stamp set from Inkadinkodo a few years ago and used a couple of times and found in my stamp drawer the other day.  I think it is such a cute set.  I embossed the BFF with gold powder on black paper.  I used the my spots and dots folder to emboss the yellow on my card.

Thank You Cupcake Card

I made up just a cute little Thank you card today.  I love this little cupcake embossing folder.  I used white paper and put my watermelon ink on the folder and then emboss it.  I'm stuck on using kraft paper for everything right now but I love it :)

Sympathy Cards

The other day I picked up a new stamp set at Michaels since I really didn't have many with sentiments.   I hadn't gotten around to using them till today and I wish it could have been because I wanted to just make a card.  The owner of the grocery store where I used to work, his wife passed away this week.  I'm sending the top one to their daughter and the bottom one to her husband.  She was a very sweet lady.
