Relax and Stay Awhile - #30YearsOfHappy...

I just LOVE this picture of my husband and my baby girl!!!

He was on his iPad and she came up to him, put her arm around his neck and her head on his shoulder then proceeded to watch TV...I was able to capture the moment with my cell phone. 

I used the #30YearsOfHappy stamp set to fill in some of the hexagons...good thing about this stamp set is that there were plenty of sentiments and icons to choose from.

------------------------------------------

I used a couple of paper packets...but the only current one is Seaside and I love the calming colors of this paper...and added some Gold Shimmer Trim and Sequins

-------------------------------------------------------

this sentiment is from the Seaside Complements - I pop-dotted with Thin 3D-Foam Tape...

------------------------------------------------

And here's a close-up of the photo that I love so much...pardon the glare off my flash...

--------------------------------------------------

Don't forget to get your hands on this stamp set...you only have 'till the end of September!  You can get it FREE with a qualifying $30 stamp purchase!

So Very Nauti(cool) with H2H...

H2H has chosen a GOOD challenge this week!  It's all about water, sunshine, anchors and anything else that the word "Nauti(cool)" brings to mind.

I've been wanting to use some of the FREE cuts from my NEW Cricut Design Space and this anchor is one of them!

---------------------------------------

I chose to use CTMH's Free to be Me paper packet since it'll be gone in less than a week!  I love how Summery the colors are and the embossed cardstock is simply FABULOUS!!!  I pop-dotted the card front with 3D Foam Tape so I could add some gold sequins underneath.

--------------------------------------

Here's a peek at the inside...I used the retired Tommy Boy WOTG Stamp Set.  I added some more gold sequins to the inside for a little 'somethin-somethin'...

Thanks for stopping by!

Don't forget to head over to the H2H Blog and link up your Nauti(cool) projects...we can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

SOUS offers three challenges each week:

I've been chosen for the Die-Cut Design Team which means my Cricut will be chirping a whole LOT MORE!

Simply Inspired by Free To Be Me Blog Hop...

Welcome to this month's Blog Hop featuring CTMH's National Scrapbook Day Special, Free to Be Me...you get this CUTE paper packet for only $5 with a qualifying order.

If you've come from Dana's Blog, you're probably still in AWE of her project but focus...you'll need to keep on hopping 'till you get back around to where you started.  

For my project, I wanted to do an envelope/card combo I saw on Pinterest.  I used CTMH Kraft envelopes that I got for SUPER cheap here.

------------------------------------

To open you just slide the Baker's Twine off the envelope and pull the right side...the WONDERFUL thing about this gold polka dot Vellum is that you can put glue dots behind the dots to adhere...so tape doesn't show through!

----------------------------

The card inside is postcard style so it doesn't open...card and envelope are standard size but you could totally do this for any size and shape of card!  I used my FAVORITE alphabet Hopscotch...such a versatile fun and funky stamp set!

Thanks for hopping by...keep on going to Diana's Blog and see what she has to share!
