Happy Pi Day!

It's my son's favorite holiday...well, OK, his third favorite after his birthday and Christmas. Today is Pi Day. He asked if I would make a card for his math teacher. How could I say no?

First, I stamped the actual number onto cardstock using Lawn Fawn's Quinn's 123s and Aquamarine Archival ink. I then stamped the birds and word bubbles from the Lawn Fawn A Birdie Told Me set. Lawn Fawn just released a coordinating bunch of dies called Lawn Cuts so it took no time at all to assemble my card. I used Harold's ABCs (another Lawn Fawn set) to stamp 'Happy' and 'Day'. As for the Pi symbol, I got lucky. There She Goes Clear Stamps has an adorable set called Cutie Pi. The sentiment actually said You're a cutie Pi but I trimmed off the words. I colored with my Copics and then added some texture to my symbol using the Lawn Fawn Belinda's Borders set. Voila, a Happy Pi Day card. I thinks this calls for pie.

Happy International Ninja Day!

Today is International Ninja Day. I'm not sure what that means but may it be good for you!

My son loves ninjas. Lego Ninjago is his favorite TV show and yes, our house has been over-taken by the little lego ninjago dudes and their vehicles. My son just can't get enough. He loves ninjas so much that he's dressed as a ninja several Halloweens in a row. Ninjas are the coolest!

So recently when I discovered this incredible stamp set from There She Goes Stamps, I knew I had to buy it. It's called Ninja Skillz and it is fantastic! It comes with several stinkin' cute ninja images and loads of sentiments. For my very quick card (it was 1:30am before I realized what day it is), I actually cut a sentiment apart. It should say "It's your birthday. Celebrate like a ninja!" but the celebrate part is so perfect for today's holiday.

I had so much fun at the Ninja Skillz Release Blog Hop, that I ordered the set immediately. Within just a few days, my ninja stamps showed up at my door...and this was the beginning of my newest love affair. There She Goes Stamps are amazing! I love the quality, they stamp perfectly and give you a really crisp image. YAY! And then there's the designs, lots and lots of super cute, extremely colorable images. I'm in coloring heaven.

There you have it. Quick, excellent service, high-quality stamps and loads of coloring potential. I can't think of a better way to spend International Ninja Day than to be coloring some. Thanks There She Goes Stamps.

Thanks for visiting and have a very happy Ninja Day!
