TGIF!! Add a little bling to your weekend…

Today officially ends the first week of Summer Vacation! Usually the first week of Summer is spent getting the kids used to spending all day with each other…lots of arguments and crying. Actually this week went quite well with the kids, it was my husband that tired me out. And not in the way you are thinking!!!

After taking my son out of the tub last night, he stubbed his toe and broke it! At first he didn’t want to go to the hospital, and I wasn’t going to push it…until I saw that his toe was now at a 90° angle from the rest of his foot! So he whined for a few minutes that he didn’t want to go to the hospital because there was nothing they could do. But, obviously, the toe needed to be reset so he gave in. My husband is one of those men that “don’t feel pain” and is a “man’s man”. So he drove himself to the hospital in his car, which is a standard shift, even though I told him to take my car which is automatic.

After he left I started to laugh…Right before he left I told him he needed ice on the toe. The only soft ice pack I could find was a “boo, boo, bear” from the kids. It fit perfectly in his sock. SO hear he was the tough man that didn’t need anyone to drive him to the hospital and the first thing the nurse/doctor was going to see was the “boo, boo, bear” in his sock!!! LOL! He said they got a kick out of that too!

Due to recent events, I haven’t had much time to stamp or blog! So, here is a card that I made back in March at a demo meeting. I absolutely love this card! It was my introduction to Sticky Cut Letters and Cosmo Glitter. I am waiting to see what colors are in the next catty, because Cosmo glitter is definitely on my wish list.

The Sparkly letter “h” is placed on Soft Sky card stock. “Happy Everything” is from the Fundamental Phrases stamp set, an is stamped in Blue Bayou Classic Ink. The Sky Blue Card stock layer is matted onto Blue Bayou Card stock and finally adhered to the Whisper White Card Base. Lastly, Blue Bayou Double-Stitched Ribbon is tied around the card front. Nice quick and simple card with a lot of bling! Trust me, pictures do not do this card justice, the glitter is gorgeous.

A few tips:The Sticky cut letters are just like Sticky Strip, and it can be hard to take off the backing at first. A bone folder can help pull back the backing. Also, I suggest adhering the letter to the card stock before adding the glitter. Once the letter is adhered to the card stock, take off the top layer and add glitter. Even though it may take a minute or two to take the backing off the letter, it is so worth it!

There are some very pretty colors of glitter in the Spring-Summer Collection check them out here. Place your orders now in case they are gone forever when the new catalog comes out. Email me at jenfoley@inkspiredcreations.com to place your order.

Have a great weekend!
