Glitter, Stamps n Coffee!

I am very ready for school to start----very ready. With being away combined with the move and three, ahem...shall we just call them creative children...life has been interesting.

Trying to get anything done around here is pretty much futile. That is pretty much why I stopped trying!!!

Here is my littlest sprinkling some glitter in my bathtub....(don't even ask me WHY there was glitter in the bathroom to begin with?!?!)

Ohhh pretty!!

Glitter glitter everywhere....and I am sure I will be finding it for a long time to come....

In these pictures Lauren was having a bit of a "googlie" eye day. She has exotropia so her eyes wander mostly just when she is tired....We are not ready for surgical correction just yet so she is monitored every six weeks and wears glasses for nearsightedness.

Here is my card for the fun name challenge (CNFS) I do with my CCEE group. Once a month we pick someone with a fun Splitcoaststampers sign-on name and create a card for her. This month it is Stamps'nCoffee...so the challenge was to make a coffee themed card .... AND if you can find a way to add something stamp related on your card like a image of a rubber stamp or similar, that would give you extra bonus points (GRIN...I LOVE bonus points!!!)

Joycelyn was one of my first SCS friends and I just love her--so this was so much fun!!

I used the My Favorite Things set called Hot Stuff for this card...the coffee cup worked perfectly and I love the sentiment.

I used the faux postage tutorial on SCS to create stamps. You can find the tutorial and template for the stamps here.

I stamped the coffee mugs on celery cardstock and blush cardstock and paper pieced the polkadots (I know...batty idea!) Then I went over the green and blush with Copics (which totally made the paper piecing seem redundant!) Oh well, even though I had a round about way of accomplishing this---I still like the end result (I just could have saved a bit of time!)

I embossed the sentiment along the bottom with white ep. I love how that pops!

Here is the close up of the stamps! Stamps n Coffee---mission accomplished!
