Wow!   Hard to believe Summer is almost gone, and school is back in session.  My twins headed back last week for their final year in college.  One more year to go and i can say that I successfully put four kids thru college.  I'm so blessed in my life.

I made this card for my son to send to his girlfriend,  she left a week prior and he was pretty down in the dumps.  The inside says "miss you"

Image is from Stamping Boutique,  come join their back to school challenge and whie you visit the blog check out the opportunity to join the design team.

I absolutely love the long lazy days of summer.  Some of my foundest memories are going to the beach and spending hours playng in the sand or watching my kids build amazing sand creations, and squeal as the waves came washing on shore.

This is Stamping Boutique's Image, "Baby Boy on Beach"  I painted the images with watercolor paints,  created the shaker card with Martha Stewart  Cotton Candy sequins.  Stampin Up wisteria wonder paper and Chevron ribbon.  Frame is cut from My Favorite Things oval stitched dies.  Cloud and sun are stitched dies from Mamma Elephant.

Happy Birthday Stamping Boutique!!!!!  6 years old, hard to believe.

I hope you are enjoying the Blog Hop,  such gorgeous creations.  Love all the new images,  but I needed some adult birthday cards so I chose thsese,  simple quick to create and still the WOW factor!!!!  Colored both with Copics,  used glitter pens and Tim Holtz glitter.   Pulled out my MINC machine for some quick foiling and two awesome cards.  My daughter loved her blue/silver present.
