This is one of those classic stamps that are great to have in your collection. Works for so many things, thank you, manly birthday cards, even sympathy. And stamps so quickly with Momento inks.

Quick Summer Tag
Joey and I had a lunch date yesterday at our friend's house and we brought along some homemade chocolate chip cookies. I added a this fun summer tag to dress them up. The stamps are from the Rubber Soul clear set for summer. We have had it for a few years, but it's one of those I find myself reaching for each summer. Very fun and easy images and sayings too. And this Sarsaparilla paper from Lime Rickey is so perfect too!

Summer Fruits!
I love making cards in sets. I love little cards. So of course I love this set of little cards! Using the "Designer Fruits" and "Thank You Sayings" clear set from Hero Arts, along with some patterned papers from Doodlebug (love the way to fruit patterns coordinated) and new gingham from AMuse. My friend Christina Cherry needs the cherry card!

6 months!
Joey is 6 months old today! Sorry the photo is a little sub-par. This was my favorite one and it was taken with my phone. At 6 months Joey still loves Pawlie, and also eating in his new high chair, and getting mom up a lot at night!

You are my sunshine
I think this would actually make a really cute Father's Day card. It's all Amuse for this one. Note the oval shadow for the water. This stamp is from a clear set by AMuse, basic ovals. It's a "must have" set, the perfect, subtle way to ground you images so they are not just floating out there. Again, my new favorite card size and I dusted off my trusty postage stamps scissors for the edging of the solid paper.

Summer reading
The beginning of summer always inspires me to make bookmarks! A fun little addition to summer reading. This year I've created a pocket card for sending bookmarks to my friends. This will fit perfectly in a letter size envelope. Card size is 3 x 6, but the solid paper is 3 x 8 1/2 and then scored at 2 1/2 inches to create the pocket. Bookmark size is 2 1/4 x 6.
Stamps and gingham paper from AMuse! Some little details that may not come through on the photo, yellow Stickles on the starfish and Clear Glaze pen over the goggles! o, and of course, corners rounded with the Chomper!
