Warm & Fuzzy Wishes

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was pretty good, but went way too fast. My kids had an early release day on Friday, so at least we got to start the weekend early. They both brought friends home for lunch and to hang out for the afternoon. We squeezed in two family movie nights (so easy to do on these cold winter nights!)--Friday night we made more progress on our quest to see all of the Harry Potter movies in order, checking #3 (The Prisoner of Azkaban) off the list. Then on Saturday we rewarded ourselves with Journey 2: The Mysterious Island after a day of homework and chores.

It is a new week with a new to-do list. At the top of my list today is getting a birthday present and card ready to mail to my niece for her eighth birthday at the end of the week. This morning I worked on making her a birthday card. She is all about pink! I figured she would love this little furry creature.


And here is the message I stamped on the inside :-).


I used images and sentiments from the Party Posse stamp set by Paper Smooches and some pretty polka-dotted patterned papers from the Handmade collection from Lily Bee Design. Oh, and that polka dotty washi tape came from Target.

I am playing along with three challenges:

Well, it's time for me to grab some lunch, and then I must tackle some design team assignments. I hope you are having a terrific Monday! Thanks so much for dropping by for a visit today. I always love seeing you here :-).

    Pink makes this little hamster even CUTER! I love it! That set has got to be my most-used PS set, with all the fab puns.
    I so loved watching all the HP movies with my boys :) Movie nights as a family are way more fun when everyone enjoys the movie.
    And, btw,

    Not sure if that is a ground hog or a hamster but it is so cute, who cares! :D
    I am sure your niece will love it. Cute verse in it!
    Sounds like it was a great weekend at your house. We are supposed to get a major snowstorm here so I am thinking it will be the perfect time to play with some paper and get my Valentine's finished!

    Emzi, this is wonderfully cute! Target has washi tape? I have never seen it - I am going to have to look better next time I am in there. Love all the pink and the dots, and that critter is the cutest thing. Darling card.

    I love Harry Potter - I could watch them all a hundred times more and never get bored! Hugz!!!!
