And Perhaps a Little Ice Cream ….

Lots of birthday celebrations coming up in June so it’s time to get moving on some cards. I don’t use a lot of Stampin’ Up products, but I’ve always been fond of the Big Day stamp set. I like the simplicity of the stamps and that you can either color them or stamp them on black to get a chalkboard effect.

I put this card together for my brother (it’s OK, he doesn’t read my blog). In my family, there’s no such thing as “a little ice cream” so I think he’ll appreciate the joke. And I couldn’t help but pair the sentiment with Mo Manning’s delightful “Moo” for some added impact.

Go Great Places!

My beach kid just got her Masters of Arts in Spiritual and Pastoral Care. I’m so proud of her for all the hard work that she put into the program and the personal growth that has come with this journey. She’s chosen a profession that she loves and it shows in all that she does everyday to support, comfort, and encourage everyone around her. She will go great places!
