Today is the final day of spring break for my kids. Well, we have the weekend yet but you know...This is the first day of their vacation where it shows some promise of sunshine. Having the kids cooped up inside the whole week has not been very fun. At least they had some activities with their friends but they have a lot of energy to release.
i haven't had as much time as I wanted(and needed!) in my stamp room this week. But the time I have had has been great! Even though I was only away from it for about a week I missed it! Like an old friend. I have new stuff to play with too.
This card was made with the new Manhatten flower textured impressions die. You use it with your Stampin' Up! Big Shot. You have had a peek at it for awhile in the catalog on page 202 but now you can actually order it! It's just $7.95 and it packs a lot of punch! I have a picture of it posted below. This is a very simple card I made with it.
I let the die be the main focal point of the card. I used the new oval all stamp set, oval scallop punch, and white satin ribbon that will be in the new Occasions mini catalog April 1. Fun stuff!
I took the kids to a new Brunswick Bowl near us. Do you have one of these near you? It was all new and clean and bright. Not like the dark, smoky and run down bowling alleys you are used to. They have a restaurant, huge arcade, laser tag and about 40 lanes for bowling. Since the weather has been dismal all week and we're on spring break it was a very busy place! We saw all kinds of people we knew there. It was the place to be! After working out a few grumpies with my kids they had a great time! Do your kids do that? You think up something special to do with them and then they don't appreciate it? It makes me crazy! Oh well, we will be back to the Brunswick Bowl. It's really an entertainment complex.
You can order this die online with me at my online ordering site here: online ordering with Kathleen or e-mail me at [email protected].
Thanks for stopping by today!
