Stampin' Up! Another Thank You

I decided to try stamping again during nap time today and almost got a card made before she woke up.   It was another trying morning and it definitely helped to give my brain a break to create!   I played along with the sketch challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary for this one.

 

Stamps:  Another Thank You (photopolymer)

Ink:  Melon Mambo

Paper:  So Saffron, Melon Mambo, Gingham Garden DSP, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White

Accessories:  Subtles glimmer brads 

Tools:  Big Shot, Stylish Stripes EF, Fun Flowers die, Boho Blossoms punch, oval punch

She was so tired at lunch.   She finally went to sleep not long after this, but she would not earlier when I tried.  We are down to just an hour nap each day if we are lucky and it's not really enough.   She's been working on walking more so I am hoping it's just that and things will sort themselves out soon.   

Stampin' Up! Another Thank You

I was able to order a couple of new goodies last week and they finally came yesterday.   Laila went to bed somewhat early, so I headed off to my room to get some stamping in.  I've been on the verge of just quitting this week, but I know I *need* to stamp so I decided to give it a go.  This has just been one of those awful weeks and no matter how much I try to make it better, it just seems to get worse.  Laila fought her nap for almost 2 hours yesterday and then after an hour of sleep, woke up just as grumpy as she was before it.  I was at my wit's end to say the least.  We survived though and today is a new day.   

The big Thank You stamp is from the new photopolymer set called Another Thank You.  It's my first of those sets and I did enjoy using it.   I also made my own envelope using our new envelope tool that will be available for everyone starting next month.  It was super easy and I am excited about being able to use up some of my DSP to make them!   

I think she likes getting a surprise box each month.  :)
