Happy Place

Today is my grandson’s birthday. I decided to use the “Happy Place” stamp set with the subliminal message to come visit us in Florida! LOL!

On the inside of the card, I used the stamp set “Turtle-y Awesome”.

Jack invited us to visit him in Milwaukee so we could see his apartment. Jack drew this image of his college housing. Can you tell that his major is architecture?

The image below, I call “papercrafting…college style”!

Jack took us to the Milwaukee Public Market where Dave & I enjoyed a refreshing brandy slush.

Below is a photo of Jack and me taken along the Riverwalk in

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Stamping!

It’s been a long time since I’ve done this Acrylic Block Background technique; easy peasy! Color block with ink pad or Stampin’ Write Marker, spritz with water and stamp block onto cardstock.

I brought back Acrylic Blocks when I returned from Florida in July. But I don’t have my “E” or “F” Block with me. As always, where there’s a will there’s a way! I ended up using the stamp case where I store my Simply Shammy since I didn’t have the correct size Acrylic Block.
