I have a TON of stuff to share.  I've been forgetting to share some of my digital layouts. Here are three of my latest.  You can also find them in my gallery over at Scrap Orchard.

Last week I found a super cute little rubber stamp that was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO very expensive.  LOL.  It was $1.00.  I just love the card I created.

 I added crystal beads, french knots, stitching, and buttons.

• Fabulous Friday Challenge #4

This week we were sponsored by the wonderful, talented, and generous Michelle Perkett.

• Michelle Perkett Etsy Store

A few weeks ago I was checking out the store at Pollycraft and fell in love with Hamilton.  Hamilton reminds me of my tween boy and I just knew that I had to have him.

As you can imagine, most of my cards do NOT get the stamp of approval from my twelve year old son.  They are too cute, too girlie, too happy, too everything that he is not.  When I showed him my cards with Hamilton his face lit up and he was just getting ready to tell me how much he loved the card, but then teen agnst creep in.

• Son: I bet he has a cell phone.
• Mom: He's a card
• Son: Still, I bet he has a cell phone.
• Mom: Well of course he does, how else does he call all the girl rubber stamps?
• Son: Ugh....
• Mom: Well?  You like?
• Son: It's ok, well um, yeah, but wait.   
• Mom: What?
• Son: He's kinda smiling, tweens don't smile.
• Mom: So, do I get your approval.
• Son: Take off his smile and we'll talk.

As you can clearly see, I think my son approved of this card! :)
