Good Morning Riley!!!

Good Morning!!! The early bird got to make a card this morning...LOL. I have been up since 5:00 am, yep you heard me...it is a shock I know but I was excited to put these colors together today for Megan over at Picture Perfect Creations Color Challenge Blog. It has been two weeks since I have seen the sun come up and I still believe that people should be sleeping.... *wink* but alas here we are with Riley!

Today's color combo Green Galore, Whisper White, Basic Black and Basic Gray got me thinking about Riley. You see I bought this stamp a while ago and just haven't got it inky. It was perfect for me because our lives have been filled with soccer practice, games and pictures and this color green reminded me of their jersey color last year, it is a little lighter, but pretty close.

Here he is! I used for the first time the drops to add something extra. I have also had these for a while and thought how am I going to use them. Now I know...LOL. I also discovered this morning that I don't have a 1" square punch...what is up with that....*giggle*. One more thing to look out for. I am also going to enter soccer Riley into the KL Stampin N Scrappin Challenge #30 (we are to show our animal friends some love).

I also used my water color pencils as my stampin' up brown markers were to dark to color Riley with. It covered his cute eye's so their water color pencils worked wonders. The hounds tooth Cuttlebug folder too is awesome too! Oh and I can't forget one of my fav punches the ticket punch.

Being quiet was a chore this morning as to not wake Tristan. Usually music and hot chocolate are the order of the day for crafting but not this morning. Make up time will have to come soon...LOL. There have been so many awesome challenges and I look forward to being able to participate this week.

In the last week my DH has been off from work (so needless to say no time for crafting :0 ), gymnastic's, soccer pictures (games, practices), sitting in a doctors office....well you get the idea. My highlight this last week was going to see Lifehouse and DAUGHTRY!!! With Lori, Melissa and Jackie. It turned into an adventure as Lori's van broke down on the way. Luck was on our side and we were close to her sisters place and Jackie's hubby was around to help out. Then my DH and Lori's DH helped by picking us up after the concert. Even if we hadn't of gotten to the concert it would have been a great time with the girls and a little stress. The concert was AWESOME and has added to my book of memories. So hugs to you Lori and your van you are a trooper!!

Well this morning I am going to get my kids and hubby up with a super smile and try not to want to crash at 4pm...LOL. I am babysitting today, a soccer game tonight and well who knows what kind of adventures are in store for me today. Wishing you all the very best.
