Grateful for Family

Hi Stamping Friends!

Oh my goodness where does time go? So much has been going on here at the Lent/Marro household these days. I love planning little outings with t he boyZ or just playing outside in the back yard. We bought a little $10.00 blow up pool (which I had to blow up with all my own air because Chris was at work, with the pump in his car, and Zain WANTED to swim!). We have been enjoying the pool and the SUN. I am soooo grateful for all the family time we have been able to have this summer! I LOVE that Zakary is with us this summer!

I made this card LAST month for my SU Club swap. I needed a quick card and one that I could mass produce very quickly! I wanted to use new IN colors! I used my Stampamagig so everything lined up very well! It is a bright card which I LOVE! I also used my SU textured plates in the Big Shot. I bought them 6 months ago and this is the first time I have used them BUT I had to have them LOL!

I hope you all have fun doing whatever it is that makes you HAPPY!!!!

Cowgirl Birthday Wishes

Hi Stamping Friends!!!

Her I go again playing with the wonderful Weiman Wrangler digi stamp images from Pink Cat Studios! The DSP I used is some very old SU paper I had in my stash. I colored the horseshoe and put some stickles all over it. I love my bling!!! I also put some crystal effect on the balloon. My image is colored with COPICS!

Whew I have been so busy! I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! I know I did! Friday the fireworks were here in Keene, we took the boyZ to watch but they were set off so late (10:30ish) and Zakary was not that into it. He was so tired! Zain on the other hand was screaming BOOM BOOM LOUD BOOM he LOVED them!!!!

Saturday we went to my great uncles 80th birthday party and then went back to my parents for more fireworks. My dad sets some off at the top of our road and again Zain LOVED it! He kept clapping and screaming YAAAA PAPA!!!! Zakary had a nice time with my cousin Sydney. They were up to no good ;o)

Today was such a beautiful day, NO RAIN!!!!! We stayed at home most of the day. Chris had to work so the boyZ and I played outside and had a picnic! AHHH it was so wonderful!

Tomorrow I am off shopping to different scrapbook and stamping stores :) No stamping till Tuesday night...I have not touched a stamp in a few days...I am starting to shake! HAHA

I hope you all have a wonderful week!!!

Sheriff Ethan

Hello Stamping Friends!

I am ready for a full day of NO rain! I hate knowing rain is coming and the sky getting all dark...but still not knowing WHEN it will be here. The boyZ wanted to go on a bike ride tonight but the sky was so dark and the wind was blowing. I knew a storm was coming so I told them we couldn't go...guess what storm didn't come for 3 hours. UGH I was so upset!

Guess what?!?!? I won Lauren Meader's Weiman Wrangler contest!!!!! I am so excited! Not only is this for a wonderful cause and t he stamp set is OH SO CUTE, but I also have $25.00 to spend at Pink Cat Studio! I am so excited! I don't have many stamps from there and I have a few on my wish list that I will now be getting WAHOO!!! Thanks so much Lauren!!!

I started this card a few days ago and just finished it today. I have just couldn't make this one work. I used Cami's Weekend Sketch for this card. I like the star in the middle and I decided to make a Sheriff Badge with Ethan's face in the middle. I was happy with the way it came out. Zakary saw the card and said "Kylah that's a cool Sheriff badge can you make me one too?" So that made me REALLY happy!

I used Gina K's digital paper called "stars and stripes" which is FREE on stamptv. Just become a member and you will see all the FREE items she offers!!!! I also used OUT WEST for HOWDY and the horseshoe.

Thanks to Cami for a great weekend sketch....maybe next weekend I can post it DURING the weekend....OH WAIT prob not it's the 4th of JULY! :o) Not sure what we are doing yet though? Fireworks are on Friday and Chris works....I will DEF take the boyZ though! Hopefully Zain will not be scared!

I hope you have a wonderful time doing whatever makes you happy!

Hi Stamping Friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a nice start to your work week! I was able to take a nice walk with my friend Avril today. Just her and I no kids. We walked for about an hour and a half. It was so nice! I can't wait to go again on Wednesday!

I made this card a few weeks ago for Zain's friend Evan. He had to have tubes put in his ears :( Poor little guy. Zain and I walked to his house and left this on his porch.

Colored my Gina K image with Copic makers. LOVE GINA K stamps! LOVE MY COPICS!!! OHHH and NEW SU colors....totally forgot the name of them right now....it will come to me soon I hope LOL!

I am going on a Scrapbook/Stamp Store trip next Monday and I am soooo excited. We are going to travel to a bunch of different stores in NH. WAHOO!!!! I LOVE ordering online but there is something about touching and feeling the product before you buy....then having it in your hands right then and there ;o)

Well I am having a bit of a creativity block tonight so I am going to attempt to make a card.....Wish me luck!

Have a great time doing whatever makes you happy!

Classy Celebration

Hi Stamping Friends!

Today ended up being a wonderful day!!! I was able to bring Zain strawberry picking with my great friend Avril and her daughter Jolie. We had a lot of fun and got some WONDERFUL berries! Strawberry Jam here I come!!!!!

I made this card the other day for Jen's "A Sketch for you to Try" I also used the pink and blue for a stamp TV challenge ;) I used Rupa Sheude's set Retro Boutique from Gina K Designs. When I first saw this dress I wanted to use it, just didn't know how....Then I decided it screamed paper piecing and PEARLS!!!!

I was very happy with the way this card turned out!!!!!! Go ahead Celebrate in Style tonight...then tell me all about it ;)

Have a wonderful Friday!!!!

The Weiman Wranglers

The Weiman Family has touched my heart. Ethan's pictures jumped out from the computer screen and I smiled with him. 4 year old Ethan lost his 2 year battle with cancer last week. I have much admiration for his family as I have grown to know them through this blog. Tears of joy and tears of sadness wet my cheeks as I read Alicia's words. I have no idea the pain they are feeling but my thoughts and prayers are with Alicia and her family.

Pink Cat Studio has done as AMAZING thing!!!! They made The Weiman Wranglers Digi Stamp Set!!!! All proceeds will go to Make a Wish Illinois Foundation in Ethan's name. Ethan was a true cowboy!!!! This set is PERFECT!!!! I got the entire set for only $8.00, 2 sentiments with Cowboy Ethan, and Cowgirl Ava (Ethan's sister). Not only are these images super super cute but what an AWESOME cause!!!! As of this afternoon PCS has raised OVER $1000.00 for Make a Wish!!!!!

I read on someone's blog "God definitely picked another perfect Angel!!"

Ethan is colored in using my Copics and I then cut his out :) I used some old SU DSP and the sketch from SCS sketch challenge. I hope you all enjoyed my card and are able to play with YOUR new Weiman Wranglers!!!!

Checks out these blogs for some great give a ways just by using your new Weiman Wrangler Images!

Flamingo Quilt

HI Stamping Friends!

Oh boy I have been so sleepy this week!!! I have been falling asleep by 10pm on the couch! This is not like me at all!

I made this card for another stampTV challenge last week! Joanne Basile was the host...She is so fun! I was able to meet her a few months ago when I went to Stamp NE :) We had to make a quilt card...I saw the challenge and almost passed because I have no idea what a quilt is suppose to look like. I then decided this is what a CHALLENGE is all about so I grabbed some DSP and off to work I went. I was very lucky because Eleanor's hair dresser Elaine was there and helped me put it together :) I think it came out GREAT!!!! I made this card for my mom because she loves pink flamingos.

I paper pierced all around the triangles and used my white gel pen to get a stitched look.

Off to work I go....I have a few purses a friend wants me to make so hopefully I can work on that while Eleanor is in activity :)

Happy Stampin Day!
