A card and the most beautifully sweet girls...

Boy did I need some stamping time today! After cleaning house all day yesterday and standing to cook dinner (wrong week of the month for standing up alot)--turns out I spent my Father's day much like I spent my Mother's day right down to the PMS. Then Little m choose to party during the night. Which of course led to Little m being CRANKY and fighting with Little d all morning...



Little d and I decided to relax to some Twilight soundtrack and scrap to our little hearts content while the monkey slept! What better than Stacey's Jewelry Inspiration #42 to work on? I struggled a little to match the orange color. CTMH doesn't have a deep salmon color, so I chose Sorbet.





Here's my card. Don't look too close at the white embossing, I worked on getting the stray particles off with three different paint brushes and then gave up. The flowers are stamped on vellum and then clear embossed. I bent them a little to give some dimension. I really loved this color combo!

A few days ago D worked on our sprinkler system and I let the girls go play in the water...










What a beautiful family I have!
