Hello! Happy Sunday! It's a rainy dreary day here! But sometimes a rainy dreary day is nice and relaxing and needed! :>
Today I have a card to share that I made to play along with The Playdate Cafe this week! And yes it's using a new stamp set from my prize :>
Today I have a card to share that I made to play along with The Playdate Cafe this week! And yes it's using a new stamp set from my prize :>
I love the Play Date Colors:
I used Verve's Making a Statement set for this card! I saw the Play Date's colors and this card came together in my head quickly! I stamped the flower background and I so enjoy doing that! I also really like these colors together! :>
Yesterday we had a garage sale! Our area has a yearly garage sale and I wasn't going to take part because Chad had a conference but I thought hey why not on Thursday! I've been organizing stuff the kids have outgrown for a while in an effort to clean up so it was ready to go! Although I did search the house and found much more. It seems never ending how many baby and little kid items I keep finding! My SIL came too and she has 4 kids so if you can imagine how much stuff she had! She also suggested that I should bake some stuff for sale. I figured why not my family will eat whatever doesn't sell! :> After setting up I stayed up a bit late and baked and wrapped it up for 2 1/2 hours I made 2 pans of puffed wheat squares, oh henry bars and double recipe of banana chocolate chip muffins. I sold out of the puffed wheat and oh henry right away, the muffins did sell but not out. Totally worth my time! And I see what sells too! I will for sure dot it again next year!
I have a few cute kid stories to share with you! :> The other day when I was driving Ariel home from dance I asked her if she wanted to take dance next year again. She replied "Yes! A girl in my class said when were bigger they will throw roses at us when we dance!" Oh I laughed! So cute and sweet! :>
On Friday at Carter's soccer game which was absolutely freezing he was quite upset that Ariel was at the play structure while he had to play soccer! I've never had him complain before but at this park the structure was right behind the field. He was out playing (truly into it) and the ball was traveling to the far end of the field and he was running towards it and just kept running past to the play structure! It was so funny to hear all the parents and the coach notice!!! So funny and no I could not get him to come back and play soccer. I tried and he just ran again to the structure!
Yesterday during the sale my SIL and I were chatting about how the little girl two houses down had pulled out her violin and was playing with the case at her feet. I had Ariel go and put some money in it. Ariel a bit later goes and gets a baby toy tambourine and a cup, puts the cup at her feet and starts playing the tambourine! Hahaha so funny! I love my kids!

a gorgeous card Anita... and thanks for sharing your children's stories with us... I can just see Carter deciding the play structure much more fun and Ariel is so like my daughter was... she would have done exactly the same thing. Good on Ariel for being so enterprising.

Great use of the challenge colors Anita - love the bg you created and how you layered the stamped pieces!

I'm doing one with a friend in a few weeks and now you've got me thinking about baking a few things to sell.....
SUPER cute card! LOVE your use of our colors! And I LOVE the story about your little one and neighbor!!!! ADORABLE:) THANKS for joining in the fun and playing along with us over at the PDCC:)
Another fantastic make!
I am laughing because that is just what my son would do too! Everything comes to a halt when there is a playground in sight.
Your daughter is hilarious! She is one smart cookie! She is not going to pass up a business opportunity let alone support the competition.
