A birthday party–finally!

02 04 12_1845Well, after a week and a half of sick children, 2 visits to the doctor, numerous trips to the drug store and a total of 4 days missed between 2 boys, everyone is well at my house. And best of all, Gabe finally got to have his 9th birthday party this past weekend. His 2 best buds came. He had cake and gifts and pizza. What’s better than that??

Stamps!!!

I am having so much fun making my own stamps from the Speedball Stamp kit that came in January’s Mixed Media Kit from Scarlet Lime! I have made a total of 5 stamps with the one block of rubber (or whatever that pink stuff is!) that was included in the starter kit. My favorite would have to be the positive and negative tulip stamps. Love how they turned out!

You can order the stamp kit from Christy Tomlinson’s shop. The stamps are super easy to make. The block carves like butter with the 2 carving tips included. Just be sure to give your stamp some thought before you start carving.
