Sunflowers for the kidlets

What a fun cheery card for the kids to receive in their lunch pails! I CASED this from the fantabby....OOPS! I did case this (altered only a few things to suit the supplies I had) and thought I knew where I cased it from, but in fact, I totally DON'T! If you know who created it (or are the creator) please let me know as I loved the original card I saw, and would love to credit the creator! Sorry hun, whoever you are YOU are the fantabby one!

Every week Samantha gives away a fabby prize that she independently sponsors...Thanks Samantha for all you do!

This card is also a hallmark for me. It's my last card as an official SPCC Diva! My Design Team term is completed at the end of June, so here it is girls! I've had such a blast working with Samantha, and all of the other Diva's, and most importantly being blessed to see each and every entry every week. You guys have all inspired me, and taught me so much, THANK YOU! Never fear my bloggy friends...I will still be here, there and everywhere. Be sure to pop by my blog and keep updated, and I will for sure be entering in Samantha's challenges at her new forum. Who knows...maybe I can even win a prize?!? LOL! See you all soon, friends.

Monkey Boots!

No one can accuse L'il C of being a girlie girl! That one is happiest playing spies, hide and seek or road hockey with her brother. Both kids were off to a fishing expedition this weekend with their Papa, and as they were walking out the door we discovered their rain boots didn't fit. So we whipped over to Canadian Tire to buy them each a pair. The only "boy" boots were the typical black with red soles so I handed Big C a pair in his size. Easy peasy. For girls, they had pink boots with purple trim, and pink camouflage boots that I kept asking her to try on. There was excuse after excuse, until I finally said "There ARE no other boots!" She patiently sat there insisting there were. Finally I got it, she wants the same as her brother, so we grabbed them in her size, but only after she agreed I could stamp on them for her. ;o) Off they trotted to their fishing day, and I came up with all these fabby ideas for her boots. Only to be thwarted. The first thing out of her mouth when she got home was "I want MONKEYS on my boots!" Oh well, so much for my flowery girlie boots! LOL! I have to admit though, these are pretty darn cute, don't you think?

"Thank You" cards from Big C and Little C

I needed to put together a few quick thank you cards for the kids to mail out after Christmas. I wanted them to be CAS and look as if the kids helped make them. The most difficult part of the card was using the masking technique to make the presents appear behind the monkey, but still, that was pretty simple. They are just straight postcards, the kids can write on the front, and address the back, and pop them in the mail. Here are the reuslts, hope you enjoy!
