Hey there blogging friends! Guess what? Today is my blogs 6 year old birthday! My blog is 6. WHAT? How did all this funness fly by so fast? It has been amazing to meet so many blogging friends and work with so many fun companies. I appreciate every visit and comment and am just tickled to be a part of such a great community! So this post has lots of info. So hang in there with me! I have a product review with a coupon code you will NOT want to miss and then a couple giveaways!
So I have a card that I made quite awhile back to share....I haven't made anything in quite some time. I have been a full time mom for sure. T-ball games, swimming, machine pitch, swimming, swimming lessons, swimming, VBS, swimming...did I mention swimming? :) I have permanent water in my ears for sure. But it has been SO much fun! My oldest is jumping off the diving board, which I was SURE would never happen! My youngest is actually walking around in the 3 feet, which I assumed he would be clinging to me for dear life until he was 20 ish. So it's been a good summer so far!
OK, so enough babbling. On to the card....
A super simple birthday card today! I used Neat and Tangled's On the strip for the background stripes. I used Wplus9's White ink....love! The sentiment is from Bountiful Banners from PTI. I added some Enamel Dots and a little chipboard banner that I can't remember where it came from! :) Super simple!
PRODUCT REVIEW
OK, now on to some more fun stuff. Recently, I got a ink stamp organizer from Organize More. Have you been over there? So much organizing goodness! I have a little review today in the form of a video! And another cool thing? I have a 15% off discount code for you to use on anything in the store!
Check out the Pro Ink Organizer...
