Animal Antics! :)

Happy Tuesday! :)

  We just rolled in late yesterday from a truly memorable camping trip ...
 Oh the stories I will share with you :)
  It was so much fun, educational, entertaining, somewhat scary!
Those chatty, excited little boys had us up at the crack of dawn every morning,
bustling with energy and this weary old lady had to scramble to keep up!
They went from dawn to well after campfires each night ...
Luckily, one of my besties in the den brought along her dad's 40+ year old 
camping percolator from 'back in the day' -
the kids got a history "what is THAT?!" lesson but GLORIOUS coffee for us!
  We had such an amazing time, and I'll be posting pictures this week :)

Meanwhile, back at the ranch .......... hee hee!
It's time for a new challenge at The Ink Spot!
You may recall from this post that Riley and Company now has a new home,
nestled in with 5 other stamp companies all in one place!
I was the hostess this week and chose Animal Antics as the inspiration,
inking up Balloon Riley and the sentiment "make today
for this cheerful, pick me up card.

Here is the front:

And the inside of my card:


Time to tackle a mountain of laundry, visit my babies (both human and furry!),
AND stop by to see you all to see what crafty things you've been up to!

If you'd like to take a peek at the rest of The Ink Spot DT inspiration,
you can find the ladies here on the blog -
some super talent has joined our team and we're growing by leaps and bounds ~
new DT members, new stamp lines, new inspiration!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
