Regarding Dahlia's (wedding)

 A few weekends ago we had a wedding to go to here in town and I wasn't sure on the color scheme as  the invite was neutral...I guess I went quite far from the neutral color scheme for their gift, but hopefully they liked it anyways! Using the fun hostess set "banner greetings" I stamped the mr&mrs flag and then scraps of matching dsp.
This is the stack of thank yous that I attached to the gift;) Simple and pretty I kinda thought.

Have you got your 'ink' on lately??!!:)

supplies:
paper: pear pizzaz, strawberry slush, whisper white, island indigo, daffodil delight, gingham garden dsp
ink: strawberry slush, pear pizzaz
stamps: regarding dahlias, banner greetings
tools: lrg oval punch, modern label punch, boho blossoms punch
accessories: daffodil delight ribbon, rhinestones, stampin dimensionals, glitter brads

    baby thank yous

    Hope you have all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! We are on the road for a wedding in IN...we've had beautiful warm days and spent all day of the 4th by our outdoor pool here @ the hotel. Kids enjoyed very much....I enjoyed my chair and magazine...water was FRIGID!!! ;) Then we made it to Noblesville to watch the firework show! Suburb of Indianapolis. Nothing quite as American as watching a good fire show on the 4th... a man near us said and I couldn't agree w/ him more!! This is the kidos on the way home after the show!

But now I'm on a little vacation and while my little man naps in the hotel I can sit next to him here on the bed and do just that!

    I love this card and how it came together. I seen something similar online I believe but have no idea where...proly Pinterest!! This is my version...
