My baby boy Devlin (who is 5), is graduating from Pre-K tonight. I'm so proud of him - he's such a well behaved kid. While it's just a simple ceremony, I still wanted to make the night special for him.
Grandma & Grandpa will be coming to watch him graduate, and then we'll take him to his favorite restaurant for dinner. McDonald's! LOL! Inside this gift card holder lies a $15.00 gift card to Toys R Us, he is going to be so excited to have his own money to spend.
Previously, I made him this gift card holder, however - the little bugger snooped around my craft room and found it. So, I disassembled it and re-made another gift card holder using the new Lots of Bots stamp set.
I went very simple this time around - wanted to show off that little heart on the front of the robot. Devlin loves the color red (just like his Mommy) so I focused on making it as red as possible.
A great tutorial for this gift card holder, can be found at Sweet Impressions.
And now on to more BLOG CANDY!

Oops sorry, I forgot to answer the question. I love Garden Whimsy because I love butterflies and the snail is too cute. Sorry and thanks!

I guess Frames with a Flourish. I have seen some cute monogram cards with it. I think one was on your aunt's cute blog.

Oh, no! A robot set. I know that will be at the top of my wish list.

What a cute robot; it reminds me of the 'house keeper' on the old Jetson's show! If I could choose any stamp set, it would have to be 'Thoughts & Prayer's because it has some lovely sentiments to go with it's gorgeous tree. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies!

I love the robot--I want this set and I don't have any small children anymore! This card turned out just as good or better that the original one! If I could choose one set from the current catalog it would be the 5th Avenue Floral-it's such a simple and elegant set.

A-d-or-a-ble 'bot' card :) Congrats Devlin - have fun toy shoppin'

I think my favorite stamp set from the current mini catalog would have to be Oval All. The stamps themselves are great then when you combine them with the scallop oval punch they get even better.

My favorite set from the current catalog is Upsy Daisy. It can be used for so many different occasions. Great robot card!

That would have to be Animal Crackers. This set is so STINKIN CUTE-Hoping to purchase it before it hits the retired list. Happy Weekend to All!

Kris, I hadn't noticed the CUTE cut-out corners with the rhinestones before! Very creative. My favorite set, which surprised me (part of my demo kit) is Always. It is very versatile.

Absolutely adorable card . . . perfect for your little guy. Have fun at McDonald's! Hugs, M

I would have to say my 'current' favorite SU stamp set that I would like to have is: FLOWER FANCY (set of 10)on page 82... because is has the watercolor look solid flowers (if you're in a hurry) AND the matching outline flowers to add to the solids OR color in by themselves (if you have more time) OR cut out of patterned paper for a completely different look altogether! SO Versitile.

My favorite set has been Thoughts and Prayers. It can be used for many types of cards - birthday, sympathy, get well, etc.
Posted by: Kathy | June 12, 2009 at 02:10 PM
I would choose Pick a Petal because it is really versatile. I have seen some super creative cards made with that set!
Posted by: Heather D. | June 13, 2009 at 12:55 PM
My favorite set would be Curvy Verses (page 139). It can be used for different cards!
Posted by: Ksenia | June 14, 2009 at 01:44 PM
My fave set from the current catalog is Friends 24-7 because I love bird stamps and I love how well it went with the Parisian Breeze Textured DSP....(sigh) I will miss that paper so....
