Boys will be boys

Seems like September is one of those months with lots of birthdays and so I thought I would share with you a card that I created for a special little guy in our lives.

Boys Will Be Boys

This card was made using the Boys Will Be Boys stamp set (134135/134138). I used the Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper as inspiration for adding color to my blocks. I simply used my Blender Pen and the ink from the lid to color them.

I really like the fun way this card opens too.

Boys Will Be Boys open (1)

Boys Will Be Boys is a set that is filled with all kinds of great childhood images. I especially remember the little plastic parachute dude – my big brother Mark was always dropping his from the top of our stairs over the railing and watching it land in the family room below.

Festive Flurry Hurricane Candle Holder

I like to make décor items each year to add a little something new for the holiday season. Here is an item that I made to use as a center piece on my dinning room table – It’s a hurricane candle holder using our Festive Flurry stamp set (131778/131781) from our Holiday Carry Over List.

Festive Flurry hurricane candle

I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. What do you think?

This stamp set and the other items on our Holiday Carry Over List are only available still for a shot time (it ends on August 27th), so why not check it out to see if there is anything you want before it is no longer available?

On a personal note – I’ve been busy the past week getting our daughter settled and ready for college this week. I’m not a big fan of school beginning. I know, I know, I’m just not right – LOL. But I really enjoy having the kids home for the summer and always have, sigh.

Kaitlin loved the items I made for her last year and so they went up first thing in her new dorm room.

Dorm Room photo wall

Above is a picture of her memory wall – it contains lots of pictures of family and friends. We added on to it a bit and left some holes to include photos for this year. I’ve also cut some more butterflies to be added for her when she gets a chance. Sigh, I really miss the Butterflies Die it was so great for all kinds of things. (Click HERE to see last years post with more details.)

And of course here she is with her messaging wall.

Dorm Room Message center

This year she just wanted a blank calendar so she didn’t have to switch them out. She’ll add the dates herself this time. (Click to see more of last years’ post and more about the cork board, dry erase and calendar). Isn’t it great that all of these items can be recreating using My Digital Studio?

It was a busy weekend with move in and competition for her. Here is Kaitlin and Larry before the competition.

Kaitlin and Larry CV Competition

You’ll be happy to know her core placed 1st with the highest score yet this season. Here is a picture from earlier this season at the Dome – they did a great job, and I’m happy to say I can find her on the field this year!

Wow, there is a lot of exciting things happening today so make sure you read to the end of today’s blog post to find out everything – it is a bit longer than normal.

First, I wanted to share another card. So here is another Black & White Convention swap, this time from Donna. I really like the way she used the Hexagon Hive Thinlit (132965) as a easy background on this card it really adds a lot of interest. (Want a Big Shot and don’t have one? Keep reading t learn about the new Big Shot promotion that starts today.)

Hexagon Hive Convention Swap 2014

Donna used our White Stampin’ Chalk Marker (132133) to add the color to the edges of the largest flower.  I’m hoping you can see the shading and depth this added to the flower, with the rain photos are tough right now. Did you know that this marker is part of the Tax Free Holiday? (You can check the complete list out below, told you you’d want to read to the end today. LOL).
