Monday Musings

As we leave July and begin August I am reminded of all of the stuff that we fit into 31 days - and boy was it alot. We had health scares and car incidents (breakdowns, etc.), travel across the country, church camp, broken washing machine, broken air conditioner, migraines, and more. But the most important thing through it all we had each other. I love my family! They are incredible. I have a loving husband and amazing kids that are turning out to be pretty incredible teenagers! Today, however, life is going to get busier. Our August calendar is chock full and I have not even put my stuff on their. Will I find the time to do all the things I love? I hope so. 

Well, here is a quick card! I hope you enjoy it and have a great day. The one thing that you must remember is that it is your choice if it is going to be a great day or not. It is all about perspective.

Kidoodles

Here are 4 easy gift tags using the new set Kidoodles. They are really simple to make and a whole lot of fun. I am going to give these to a friend in a cute package. I hope you enjoy them. Sorry it is short and sweet today, but life is really busy at the Adams' abode.

Hope you have a great Friday! We are awaiting the effects of Tropical Storm Don! Bring on the rain.

Kidoodles

Well, yesterday was a travel day. I meant to get something posted on here for you guys, but it just never happened. I made the card at 2:30 in the morning, in my 2nd floor craft room with no air conditioning, but still did not get around to posting it. Sorry!!!

I had the greatest time traveling with my friend Katie to Salt Lake City. Let me just tell you her family is hysterical. Long story, but it happened that her mom and aunt were leaving from the same terminal for a trip to Ireland and we got to spend time together. It could not have worked out better and we had some great laughs. Then when we got on the plane, Katie and I weren't sitting together, but fate had me sitting next to another friend, Kirsteen, that I did not even know was traveling on the same plane with us. It was awesome. We got to catch up and I loved it.

From the new Kidoodles set

Anyway, enough rambling. Here is the card. It is from a new set called Kidoodles. It is sooooooo cute. I made this quick card. It is stamped with Staz On, colored with a blender pen and markers in Blush Blossom, So Saffron and Soft Suede on Very Vanilla paper. The background is stamped with Woodgrain background stamp in Always Artichoke. Add a little vanilla seam binding and you are done. The set is super cute. I can't wait to make more cards with him.

Have a great day! More from convention as the week goes on. Today is shopping day! WOO HOO!
