Double the Hope

Sharing a couple more HYCCT cards.   This card is one of my favorites from the month so far.  One of the challenges was to use a fairy and I didn't have one.  :(   I looked online and found this adorable one at Tiddly Inks and decided to try it.  I am not very good at coloring people yet, but I tried.  I need to work a lot on hair!  lol

This second card is for the bunches challenge where we were to use a bunch of something.  I thought this cute Fluffles stamp would be a perfect one.   I love this sentiment from Kinda Eclectic and it fit just perfectly in the space below my image.  :)

Our Halloween morning was a rainy mess, so we stayed in and made cookies!  Laila had so much fun and they turned out pretty yummy!!!

Fluffles Birthday

Just playing around a little tonight before bed.  I really need the break that stamping gives me, so I'm trying to do it as much as I have to chance to now.  I have been napping more than usual because of some sleep issues at night, but I'm hoping to kick that habit and start stamping again while Laila naps.   Jason is off this week, so I'm getting a little time after dinner to play at least.   :)    I was playing around with my Copics and some old stamps I found while trying to clean my room.  Before I signed up with Stampin' Up! I was totally in love with Fluffles and have a few of the stamps.  I enjoyed coloring him tonight, so you might end up seeing more of him.   I am such a sucker animals, coffee, and sunshine stamps!  I am on the lookout for some pretty sunflower stamps too, so let me know if you are aware of any.  There's some out there, but I haven't found just the right one for me yet.

Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight are a super fun color combination for birthdays!   Try it!

We took Laila out for Mexican food for her birthday dinner and at the end they came and sang to her.  She got to wear the hat too.  lol  She LOVED it.  Our server thought she might cry and be upset, but she was clapping along with them and having a great time!    She seems to love the blowing out the candles part of birthdays.  Every day she's been clapping and saying Yay!  Blow out the candle!   Hilarious!
