My daughter and her family came up to visit us for a week this summer. We had so much fun, like we always do, and I promise someday soon I will blog about it. I've been saying that a lot lately. I don't know why it's been so hard for me this year to find the time to blog, but it has. Anyway, while they were here we celebrated Atlethea's and Atticus' birthdays because they are both summer babies. Here are the cards I made for them:
Atticus' card was made using the retired Stampin' Up! set "Ahoy, Matey". I have always loved this set. It is so cute!
To make this card, I created a little pirate scene. I used a stencil and markers to create a sea and sky. The clouds were cut using an MFT die. Everything else was in the set. I simply stamped the images, colored them in, and cut them out. I popped the pirate on dimensionals but glued the chest and ship onto the card. I stamped the sentiment onto the cloud.
For this card, I didn't use any dimensionals. I just glued everything onto the card after coloring it in and cutting it out. Once again I stamped the sentiment onto the cloud.
And here are the little rugrats proudly displaying their cards. They are so CUTE!
Here's some snapshots of the kids opening their presents. They sure had fun!
But perhaps Atticus' favorite gift of all was "The Armor of God". He has been wanting this dress up set for so long! He has the whole armor of God from Ephesians 6 completely memorized and he's only four years old. Be sure to watch the second video below. It's so adorable because he is so excited to put on this costume and he tells the significance of each piece.
And finally, here are some family videos. Enjoy!

I hope you liked the cards and enjoyed this brief snapshot into my family.
