Card Recognition

to the moon and back plus more...


So I decided (at the last possible minute) to make a card for Sebastian (because ~amy~ rocks).  I used this week's Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch with the half pint heroes, which seems like the perfect stamp set for the occassion.  And since I was making a card with a boy for a boy, I asked my side kick to make one too.  What I love is how he navigates his way through my messy craft desk (raiding the drawer full of scraps) and creates.  I asked him if he needed something and he said, "I know what I'm doing."  I love it!





And here's my second card for Sebastian.  I thought of how my boys (little and big) like paper airplanes, so why not sending a fun, light hearted note.  I've used this week's Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge for the sketch (had fun playing with distress inks, gelatos, Tattered Angels mist, perfect pearls and water).  Wishing you guys all a fabulous Wednesday, I've got a nice lengthy list of things to get done...  but excited tonight to go to another Victorian Christmas celebration in our town, click here for some fun photos I took at last week's event.

These are sooo sweet, Erin! Love the little rocket with the chevron border. That stitched rectangle will be mine one day, so cool. The paper airplane has such a cool sky effect on the kraft cardstock!
