This card has something old & something new both used on it!
The layout is a weave that my demonstrator friend LeeAnn shared. When I saw the layout I knew then that I was going to use it with the New In Colors. And I sure think this card turned out so cute!
This layout is a great way to use up your 1/2" scraps! Are you a saver or a thrower? If you are a saver- you are set to go! If you are a thrower, you'll just have to cut some 1/2" strips to weave!
The 'Stylized Birthday' stamp set here is RETIRING! It is a single stamp! And it is such a great stamp! I have used it alot & I'll miss it! It was my "go to stamp" when I needed a larger birthday font.
The stars came from the 'Confetti Celebration' stamp set & it is RETIRING too! I also used the words from this stamp set in the inside of the card too. Again- this is a favorite stamp set of mine that I'll miss. I have sure used it alot over the years!
The stitching along the In Color strips I did was super easy! I just used my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker and free handed it.
So which is your favorite NEW In Color? I like them all! I am honestly probably the most excited though about the Blueberry Bushel, as we really need a blue card stock like this!
- Call Me Clover- green
- Blueberry Bushel- blue
- Pineapple Punch- yellow
- Grapefruit Grove- peach

Yesterday was a busy day!! It started out with all 6 kids! We made it to school, just as the first bell was ringing. I then came home & spent my day with the 3 little ones. The weather was chilly, wet & windy- so we didn't get to play outside much. We did go out for a bit in the afternoon & had my niece, Stephanie, her husband, Chris & their 2 kids- Katie & Henry, here to visit & play with the boys. It was WONDERFUL to get to see them, as we hadn't seen them for almost a whole year, as they live in Pennsylvania.
Manda picked up her 3 boys after she got off of work. And we had Masen & Ainslee here for the evening with us. After we took the kids home I picked up toys, answered a few emails , did my post & called it a night.
This morning we are up early & off for a busy day!! I'm cooking food & getting ready to head out the door to my sister Beckie's. We are having a Mother's Day brunch with my side of the family this morning. We are also squeezing in a couple of soccer games too. Then tonight we will have supper with Deke's family, so we can all get to see some of our Pennsylvania family that is here visiting.
I hope you have a SPECIAL Saturday!!
Happy Stamping!
