Good Afternoon!Sorry for my lack of posting : ) This past week has been busy and emotional. Memorial day weekend marks the one year anniversary of the devastating tornado that ripped through our neighborhood, destroying homes and killing a sweet little boy. Not the little boy pictured on the left, though, this little guy is mine, and as you can see he was thrilled to be able to hold 2 of 9 bunnies that my very pregnant neighbor stumbled upon while weeding her garden. : ) and boy did she scream!!
When he wasn't holding bunnies or roasting marshmallows, Alex was helping dad build a shed! It was good for us all to smile during this "hurdle" of a weekend. Many of our neighbors spent time together BBQing, having bonfires, and supporting each other as we shared stories and memories related to the tornado. 
I was actually able to do some stamping this week too! I made this card to match the carseat that we are giving my "previously mentioned pregnant neighbor". I used Soft Sky cardstock, because it matched so perfectly! The swirly stamp is from Trendy Trees, and the sentiment in the oval says welcome, little one, and is from Nursery Necessities.
Here is the inside. Again, Soft Sky CS, with holed punched around the border. The swirly is stamped in the corner in Baja Breeze, Choc Chip, and Craft White.
Here is another card that I made for her. I CASED this card last year for my cousin (changed the layout and papers a bit), but I cannot remember who/where. It was memorial weekend, the day before the tornado. If it happens to look like a card that you made, then pat yourself on the back because I think it's CUTE! Sorry for the retired stamps/paper. This set, She's All That will always be one of my favorites : )
Hope the weather where you are is as great as it is here in Minnesota!! I'm going out to enjoy it!
