For the kids..


Today's Stamp With Us challenge is to make a children's birthday card - I paper pieced the balloons from Crazy for Cupcakes with papers from the Junior Varsity set and used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line up the sentiment.

The men's Wimbledon final has just started so that's me out of here! Sadly with no Mr Murray but I'm a big Federer fan so fingers crossed for him (not that he'll need it!).

Thanks for visiting - don't forget to check out the other Design Team's samples at the Stamp With Us blog and details about how to enter!

What a great fun card Kate. I haven't got these papers but I will be getting them now - they look awesome.

Fabby card Kate! Love your sentiment lined up along the edge of the balloon - very clever!
As for Wimbledon - I feel completely emotionally exhausted after that final! So glad Federer won but what a fight Roddick put up!

Great card for those (slightly) difficult boys! Love how you put the sentiment around the baloon, may have to have a go at something similar, thanks for the inspiration, Hope you enjoyed the tennis :0)

Love the simplicity of this and the cute argyle balloons you paper pieced. Woohoo....Federer did it again! What a marathon.

Have a great day!
