Under construction card

Son#3 needed a thank you for a lego set he received, so I put this card together with some lego stickers I had left over from another project  that were in the stash.  They are really fun and look like actual legos!  The Under Construction stamp is from the My Pink Stamper set Boy Crazy.  I'm linking this to the Celebrate the Occasion challenge this week to make a thank you card.

flying high layout

Spring is in the air and so are trips to the park!   We spent a lovely early evening in March swinging at the park and shopping for some spring clothes (those darn kids keep outgrowing their clothes-what is up with that?), so I had fun doing a layout with more of the Echo Park A Boy's Life collection.  The title flying high is from 3 Birds on Parade-perfect for those action shots on the swings, since they were challenging each other to see who could go the highest.

Have a Blast card

Made this for Son#3, for a lunchbox card for him.  He loves to build rockets and spaceships with his legos, so he will really like this one, I think.  The rocket is from Boys Will Be Boys and the sentiments are from a My Pink Stamper set called Lunchbox Thoughts.  I'm linking it to the Paper Playtime challenge to make a guy card with a sentiment.

Rock & Roll layout

The challenge this week at Die Cuttin Divas is music!  I've had this layout in mind since I got the Echo Park It's A Boy's Life paper and saw the journal block with the guitar-perfect for pics of some Lego Rock Band action on the Wii.   We have pics of the family unleashing our inner arena rock stars that will go on here!  (Be very very grateful you don't have to hear us sing, because DS#2 is the only one who can sing worth a lick!)  I used Quarter Note for the musical instruments.

Magic Kingdom-Disney layout

Cinderella's castle is amazing to look at, both far away and up close.  I took some pictures outside and some of the murals inside.  I used Tink as an accent, since she flies down from the castle at night during the firework show.  The title is the Mickey Font.

Magical thank you card

Son#2 received some Harry Potter posters as a gift and needed to write a thank you card.  I immediately thought of the magician bird on 3 Birds on Parade, who kind of gives me that Harry Potter vibe.  The background paper is from Echo Park's A Boy's Life collection.   I'm happy to report he loved this card so much that I've been requested to make him another without a sentiment AND son#1 wants one too!

Norway-Disney layout

All the countries in Epcot were enormously fun to visit and the boys (including hubby) found themselves very amused in the gift shops.  For awhile I thought I would have to put ALL of them (including dad!) in time out, lol!  This layout is from Norway, where Viking gear and trolls were abundant in the gift shops.  I used the Mickey font for the title and used MyCutSearch to find a sword.  MyCutSearch (where you can type in the item you want to cut) showed several cricut carts have swords and I ended up using the sword on Happily Ever After.
