Hi there! Last week I shared these cards over on my YouTube channel, but realized that I never shared them here on my blog. I was honored to join Emily Leiphart for her 3rd annual Cutest Blog Hop Ever.
I got the whole family involved in the video hop. I sat them all down and we had a good old fashioned ink blending session:) It was utter chaos, but we did manage to finish two cards out of the bunch. Everyone did really good and created some gorgeous panels.
This is Bailey’s card that she created from her ink blended panel. Isn’t is beautiful? She used the Floating Leaves stencil and then added some die cut leaves out of vellum and white from the Etched Laurel Leaves die set. For the sentiment she used Lea’s Uppercase & Heather’s Lowercase alpha dies. She also added a few clear enamel dots for embellishment. This card reminds me Debby Hughes and that is the highest compliment I could ever give Bailey.
Emma created this next card. For her blending panel she used one of the CZ Simple Patterns Trio stencil. She was head over heels for the Little Agenda Spaceship set and we made it into a slider for the rocket to slide up and down.
We added an embossed sentiment, also from the Little Agenda Spaceship set.
Here’s the video below if you haven’t already seen it, but I warn you beforehand, it is utter chaos:)

September 20, 2020 at 8:44 pmI watched your video early-and LOVED it! You have the loveliest family and it was so nice to hear the “midwest” accent, I grew up in MN, land of hockey and snow and ice, but now reside in the AZ desert. Everyone did a good job, your son’s friend did an outstanding job! Thanks for sharing this fun with us.

September 20, 2020 at 8:59 pmI’m impressed! I love the girls’ cards, and the guys, while I could see they were reluctant at the beginning, did an absolutely wonderful job ink blending. I hope you make some cards with their creations. I envy you this time spent with your family. I miss my grandchildren so much. It’s been six months since I’ve seen them and I’m tired of “virtual” hugs and Zoom calls!

September 20, 2020 at 10:46 pmHi, Cyndi! 💜 Remember that the Lord restores the time that we lose. He makes it up to us. How He does that is beyond me, but He is faithful. I was seriously injured for 7 years and 2020 was going to be my year to start over. wonk,wonk It’s painful, but the Lord will make it up to us. BE STRONG IN THE LORD!

September 24, 2020 at 10:52 pmComplications from back surgery put me back in the hospital, and it could have been worse: I could have missed this!!!
The cards were fantastic. All the backgrounds were great! But the stars were obviously you, your family and guest!!!
