TSOL: My Heart Soars...

Hello!  Today I have a card to share using the newest The Stamps Of Life release called, hearts2diefor.  Perfect for Valentine's Day, Weddings and "just because".  I also used the cloud and bird stamps from the kites2fly set.  I added some baker's twine for the string to my heart balloon.
I think I may save this one for hubby for Valentine's Day!

I have decided to do a December Daily album again this year.  I am have my album and papers all cut and ready to go.  I am still trying to decide how I want to do the photos.  Last year I printed them out of my printer, which was super convenient, but expensive. I burned through several ink cartridges at $30 a pop!  I am wondering if I should just send them to be developed each week?

My boys were so excited to pull out last year's December Daily album, that I know it is something that I will continue to do from year to year.  Maybe I will even get on board with Project Life someday soon!  I will share my December Daily pages as I complete them.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Flying High...

Hello! Today I wanted to share a card I made with the newly release dies from The Stamps Of Life.  The dies match the kites2fly set, and make paper piecing fast and easy! I pieced the kite with My Mind's Eye DP scraps.  I stamped  the clouds and then added the sentiment inside.  The bird silhouettes are also images from this set.  I created my kite string from baker's twine from The Twinery.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  Hubby and I had a date night on Friday night, and we also helped my baby sis and BIL move into their new house.  Yesterday we took the boys to The Cincinnati Zoo in the morning before it got crazy hot.  They recently re-structured their tiger exhibit, and it was awesome!  Beautifully landscaped like the rest of the zoo, and my boys were thrilled to be able to see the tigers "up close".  Previously, you had to view them from a far, but now you can literally walk right up to the glass where they are laying.  Max LOVES tigers so he was thrilled to be able to put his hand against the glass and "pet" the tiger!  It was a busy, but very fun filled weekend.

Hoot Hoot Hooray for TSOL new release!

Hoot Hoot Hooray! It's September 1st, so that means a new club release from The Stamps Of Life.  This set is absolutely ADORABLE! It is called owls2love, and you must check it out.  I stamped my owl in soft suede ink and then touched him up with copics to create some shading.  I tied some brown baker's twine around from The Twinery, to make it look like a wire.  I also used clouds from the set, kites2fly and outlined them with a blue copic marker.  I love that so many of Stephanie's stamps work together from different sets!

Thanks for stopping by today!
