A Note of Thanks


I'm continuing to build up my stash of thank you notes so that my mum has a series of thank you notes she can choose from for her set.  I'm loving The Cutting Edge challenge.  It's really encouraging me to use my dies more often.  At first I thought I'd use the polaroid die I have, but went with the vented die from PaperSmooches to ground the floral dies.  I love the color combination of black, gray and SU Ruby Red.  

As I type this my two younger guys are playing Jenga.  Monopoly seems to be the game of choice this summer. What are your kids favorite games right now?  We're always looking for new games.

  1. I love this die, it is really different and this colour combo really does work. No kids but there is a box game that Callum and I love that I think your kids would really enjoy as you get to sing, build things, do some drama etc...but I can't remember the name!! I will find it and email it when I do xx

  10. Fabulous card, and I am glad you are using your die cuts more. I have been too busy to use much of anything lately, it seems. Our favorite game these days is called Telestrations. It is easy and fun, and we always end up laughing so hard it looks like we are crying. It is one of those games where the worse you are at it, the more fun it is. I am officially the worst (so the most fun)
