Be There

Aaahhhhh dots.

They make me happy.

(stamps: My Favorite Things Bokeh Builder)

These colors also make me happy~

 The sentiment is stamped in gray~

I love that masculine font!

I toyed with multiple panels until I came up with this "focal" set of dots.

 It was great of you to stop by today!

In between my eldest, 20, and my youngest, 15, I have a 17 year old.

She's quiet, but sooo wise and sooo sweet.

I'm super proud of her and her latest ventures.

She is seeking her way and plowing ahead to face adulthood with fortitude.

(Heidi Swapp September Skies panel plus sequins and a bow)

 Once she sets her mind on something it's DONE..and I have no doubt God will bless her courage and faith.

Isn't it awesome to see your "kids" growing into who they are meant to be?

I love the adventure!

Sketch & the Blues

I don't normally load a post with multiple cards...but they coordinate so well.

They're like,

squad goals. :)

 

Navy is IN, guys, believe it!

I'm seeing it everywhere, and I'm loving it.

My first card, based on a sketch~

(stamp:My Favorite Things Pretty Poppies  dies:My Favorite Things Die-namics Skyline Border/Sentiment Strips/Horizontal Stitched Strips   Other:We R Memory Keepers Crafter's Stapler)

The second, 

 (stamps:Papertrey Ink Super Stripes, Sweet Stamp Shop Fall Gratitude feathers,Technique Tuesday Ordinary Days)

 although not nautical...mimics the stripes, incorporates the navy blue...

not to mention, is very masculine (but hey, if you like feathers sister, more power to you!...*insert fist pump emoji*).

 

Lastly, my third~

 (a Christmas card..woot woot!!!)

TwEnTy

So, I've mentioned, my eldest turned 20.

That's TwEnTy guys...

can't.

even.

The good news is, she still keeps me young.

Have I mentioned I literally CHOKE cuz she makes me laugh so hard???


It's kinda dangerous...but worth it. ;)

I always think of her when I see a cityscape cuz

girlfriend loves the city.

She also shines like there's no tomorrow~hence the shiny metallic cardbase and clips.

By the way, found the fun paper clips at Ikea...

aren't they adorable???

Rain or Sunshine & Baby Girl's Edit

This is the best day to post a rainy day pic; glad I snapped this photo seconds before it started drizzling...

 (stamps:Simon Says Stamp Scribble Flowers, Papertrey Ink Hello Sunshine  die:Silhouette Cameo Megan Hardy Designs Girl With Umbrella)

 I mentioned that baby girl started editing again.

 I asked her if I could use one of them to post.

She said "surrrrrrrre". ;)

When I saw the SSS challenge, I thought of this photo of hers~

Simon Says Stamp (Wednesday): Come Rain or Shine

Isn't her photo edit amazing? 

 She just comes up with this stuff and messes with pics.

I love it!

The colorful umbrellas in this Just Add Ink photo inspired the multiple sunshine dot colors of my card.

There's lots of masking and "almost" one layer.

 

 Thanks for seeing me today!

Each of my girlies are getting a special card.


This one is for my youngest.


She's fifteen,


but has been "sixteen" since she was like, 3.


I guess that's what happens with the baby. ;)


Each of my girlies are artistically talented, but I focused on baby girl because she started editing images again.

(but missed the entry boat)

and then

I stamped, watercolored and die-cut/splattered for the first CAS Mixed Media Card Challenge~

Thank you for stopping in~
