I love crafting, especially rubber stamping. Most weekends I can be found surrounded by paper, rubber stamps and ink.

Hippo Birdie To You

Well Hello to you all,

Wow, it's been a long time since I've done any stamping! Between a vacation in NYC, attending my niece's college graduation in Colorado and work commitments, I have not had the time.

LeAnne has a fun CAS challenge for us today at the Paper Players and that was just what I needed to get my mojo going again.


I have many stamps that would work for this challenge and it took a while to decide on what I wanted to use. I don't know how "wild" these guys are, but they sure are cute! All stamps, dies, and the patterned papers are from Lawn Fawn and the layout is the current Freshly Made Sketch.




For the inside, I used another Lawn Fawn set called Party Animals.

Finally, I thought I'd play proud Auntie and show you a picture of my niece, the new graduate, and her brothers taken last weekend after the ceremony. Rachel in the middle is 23, Ian on the right is 19 and Nathan in the glasses is 17. They are the best!
