Wetlands

Wetlands stamp set is an amazing set that is great for nature lovers and helps make
those masculine cards so simple to make.  I've combined Wetlands with Urban Underground designer paper from the Occasions catalog for this quick, easy card.

Balloon Adventures for Scott

Today's card is for my oldest grandson, Scott.
He turns 10 years old today!!!!
Yup, he's a Cinco de Mayo baby.
His birthday card uses the Balloon Adventures stamp set (which is retiring) and the Balloon Bouquet punch.  I also used the Party Animal designer paper to bring him some happy colors.
