FLowery Fun

Today I want to share a card I made using an image that i have used MANY times before, but I just love him. QKR Stampede has some great turtle stamps, and this guy is one of my favorite of the turtles. He has so many themes you could use him for. My card today is a "blank" card, so really he could be used for anything...birthday, thank you, just because... See...isn't he cute? This guy is the In Love stamp. I stamped him off, and colored with watercolor crayons. I fussy cut him out, and layered on to the blue PP. All the PPs on this card are from SU, and have been in my stash for at least 4 years...lol...I am a paper hoarder! I also pulled out my paper distressing tool I haven't used in forever too. I decided to distress all the papers for this one. Last, I added some of these Paper Flowers. If you didn't know yet, QKR Stampede also has paper flowers now! These flowers are great! You get so many in each pack, and there are so many colors to choose from. They are all made of mulberry papers, and very fun and easy to work with. They layer together so nice! I used a brad to hold mine together.

Oh I wanted to share something else with you today too. Last week I showed you the LO page for my DD's first ever 5K, and told you she was running one on Saturday. Well she did...and....
Yup...that is my baby with a MEDAL!!!! She took 3rd place in her age group. I am one proud Mama. She ran her best time that night...well that is until last night when she ran again...lol. Last night she ran another 5k, she ended up beating her time from Saturday giving her her best time yet..33:59. I am sooo proud of her. She didn't medal last night, but she is totally fine with that. She knows it isn't about being first, it is about finishing, and doing the best that she can do. Here she is with her "running buddy" (my hubby), after the race last night.

Well that is all! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!
