Rockin' Robin...Tweet, tweet, tweet!

Meredith had her dance recital this past week, so I thought it would be fitting to put a picture of both her and the card I made for her teacher, Miss Jill. The tap routine they did was to Rockin' Robin. However, every time Meredith said it, she said the name of the song was Baskin Robbin. Too funny!! I swear I don't take my kid out for ice cream that much! This is a cute little image from High Hopes, and I couldn't wait to use it! Another funny from the recital was the tattoo that Meredith had on her arm...a skull and crossbones (of course the mouth was heart-shaped) and it made her look like one tough chick! My sister really enjoyed being able to come and see her in action!

The rubon says, "Memories begin with this." I thought it only fitting that it be in the shape of an arrow pointing to the lil tapper! I can't wait until we can take mother and daughter tap classes!!

He Really is a Gentle Bear!

Wouldn't you just love to pick him up and squeeze him? This is Gentle Bear from High Hopes Stamps. I fell in love with him, and I had to have him. While the ordering process is quite lengthy with High Hopes, he and the other stamps I received were well worth the wait. They achieve a whole new level of cuteness. I wanted to finally be able to do another Mojo Monday sketch, so I was actually able to finish #79 on this Monday!! How amazing is that for me? After a variety of mishaps in the craft room (I dumped an entire box of paper, burned my finger on my lamp, and got glue on my shirt), I combined this week's sketch with the Color Throwdown #34 from last week and Voila, a card is born!

I'm sorry if I get a little disjointed with this post...I'm trying to watch the new ABC show Castle, so I'm typing on the commercials. I know, yes, I stamp and watch TV...it keeps me company!! Anyway, I digress! Here are the particulars of this card, but watch out, you may fall in love with him, too!
