Hee hee!! We are back from Melbourne, FL and had a super little getaway. I loved seeing Cocoa Beach again (it's been years!) and the TKD tournament was amazing. We went with small expectations and our little man came home with a BIG win! His confidence and strength were something to behold - poor mommy nearly passed out but he held his own - took 2nd place in sparring and 3rd in form in his division. Now it's time to unpack, wash, and repack since we leave again on Thursday - love me some Summer!! :)
And a Merry Christmas to you!! That's the theme of the new bi-weekly Riley and Company Challenge on the blog! How fun! Our DT hostess, Joy, asked us to create a Christmas in July card using any Riley stamp - a theme I just absolutely adore! I love Christmas and wish we could have it all year round, alas, we wouldn't have this fun and fabulous summer! I used Elf Riley because I simply adore him and couldn't wait to ink him up again! Here he is!

We would love to see what you make this challenge with your Riley and Company stamps! If you create a card for a gallery other than your blog,
please use the keyword Riley1412. And most importantly, have fun!
Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings!
