Cruising By

Hello Saturday, my Crafty Peeps. I wasn't going to post today, I was planning on saving this cute card for Monday, but then I said naaaaaw! I'll make something else for Monday.

 I have big plans for Monday. It's my firs official full day all to myself. All three of my kiddos will be back in school. It's a little bittersweet, though. My youngest is in first grade, Kindergarten is half day here, so  for the first time in 8 years (I think) I do not have to run a kid to preschool or rush back for a Kindergarten bus. It's another new phase of life and it always makes me a little weepy. I got emotional on Thursday when I walked him into his first grade class room. I have grown accustomed to having lunch with little people ;) I'll miss having him around in the afternoons. BUT......I am reeeeaaaallly looking forward to having those days to myself. 


On to the card.

 I created this one for N's best buddy. I thought these new Die-namics went perfectly with an older MFT stamp set, You Move Me. I added some fun elements that made this card come together quickly. Love how dies do that. The road and car are from World Traveler and Hit the Road Die-namics. 



A few Flat Bottom Clouds were added  to complete my scene. I stamped the sentiment in Orange Fizz ink. 


I even did up the inside, which I have been neglecting to do lately. A few stripes from Plaid Builder, and the number 7 was cut from the Big Numbers Die-namics and then I added some festive polka dots. Sentiments are from the Big Birthday Numbers stamp set. I love that the "Happy Birthday" fit perfectly in the balloon. I used a Copic multi-liner to draw in the string.

You can see all the products I used linked below. Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great weekend.

  3. Love it, inside and out! They grow so quick don't they? I am sure you will LOVE having some time to yourself during the day. I used to go eat lunch with Collin at school every Wednesday until 4th grade. :)
