Craft dash / Seize the Birthday


Paulina Nakamura posted this sweet card and colors using Paper Sweeties


Hi , quick post! I made this card last night, took the picture today and just now had a minute to post it. Paper Sweeties it the host of this weeks dash.  I won a few sets from a friend so I couldn't  wait to play. I didn't have any time to think outside the box with this one. No time to color the hair or face, but I often leave things uncolored.  The scalloped edge was a leftover piece already cut. Luckily the flower stays in place with just the stem  because I didn't have time to glue it on. But I made it in  just under 10 min.
Paper Sweeties – Abigail   andGiddyup  

I had to share this picture of the O’Malley’s ! I am not sure where they are but my son in law got called in to work ..we have a huge fire here in Ca. 
That never stops my daughter from taking all 6 children by herself! Looks like summer fun!
 This was posted on FB and I hijacked it! 
 Some of you know I have 12 grandchildren, well…. this is half of them! I love these kids!

    Love your photo of the kids having fun in the sun. Hope your SIL stays safe. We too have fires from the heat wave. Not something we are used to here in the UK xx

    Wishing and praying your son in law will return safely from fighting the huge fire!!!
