Niece's Orchestra Performance

I just got back from my 13 year old niece's performance today. She got to participate in an intensive orchestra camp this week and today we got to see the results of all her hard work - all the kids did great! :)

I don't have kids of my own, but I'm quite happy being a fun aunt, and I am definitely very proud of her -- so I made her a card.

Another reason to get a new camera (the colors actually look way more washed out than they actually were.)

For this card I used:

Card stock - Kraft (base), Not Quite Navy, random paper from Hobby Lobby and White

Stamp - SU! Animal Crackers
Inks - Basic Black, Tango Tangerine, So Saffron and Chocolate Chip

San Antonio Regionals

I attended my first SU! event in San Antonio. It was an eventful day, full of lots of cool demonstrations, make and takes, fun fun and fun! I made some swaps for this event, and got so many cool ones back! I only wish I had made more than 15, because there were some really adorable projects people came with! It seemed like enough at the time, (because I was tired of piercing paper) but now I know for next time. Here is what I made:


Cardstock - Tangerine Tango (Base), Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White
Stamps - SU! Bitty Birthday, SU! Eastern Blooms

I went with Kim from Stamp-a-rama, her friend Keli, Lydia from Understand Blue and her friend Neelam. I'll be posting more pics of the conference in the next day or so, but I want to show a picture of what we got upon entering. I have a new stamp set - Best Wishes & More and a set of 6 make and takes.
