Mother/daughter time

My daughter turned 16 recently.

We are very close, but she has never really gotten into stamping with me. She is uber busy with her friends, boyfriend, & teenager stuff (also called high school drama).

Once in a while, she will make a scrapbook page for a shadowbox or a collage of pictures. But, always asking for my help and direction, suggestions, and ideas. So, the interest is there, she just did not think she had the creativity to stamp.

Ha ha ha.....I said the same thing nearly 5 years ago.

I have not stamped or created anything in weeks. Just too busy!

But, what I did want to get a head start on was the cards to send out announcing our move, with our new address. In my usual procrastinating way....I have put this off for quite a while....

So, the other day I was out shopping in Topeka and I found a box of pre-cut and folded 4.25x5.50 cards with envelopes by Die Cuts With A View. There are 50 cards and envies, all printed DCVW quality cardstock, 10 different prints, 5 of each print. They all coordinate with the DCWV Mat Stacks papers! And the best news, I got them with a 50% off coupon at the register, so they only cost $4.99!

I started creating some cards the other night, when my daughter asked to help too. My first thought....Guess summer vacation has already bored her out of her mind!

We have now set up my dining room table AKA taken over the table and dining room...so we can stamp and create day and night...whenever we have time in between baseball games and errands.

She has really gotten into it! She is now saying to me "Can we go home and stamp?" or "After dinner, can we stamp?"

Ahhhhh...such sweet words.....

Here is one card we made together so far

She stamped and colored in the image, I put the card together.

Aren't these DCWV cards too stinkin' cute?!?!

We are making each card different too. No two are the same.

So, yesterday was my birthday. My daughter comes up to me singing and hands me a card

She was so proud she made it all by herself without my help in any way!

I just had to show it off here. ;)

So, since the "We've Moved" set of cards will be the last things I will be making before I pack up my stamping supplies before the move, I will show the "We've Moved" cards here on my blog over the next few weeks up until we leave.

Come back soon! She and I have had some really cute ideas!

**Pictures of the cards are taken with my scanner. The colors are a little off from *in person*. I usually take photos with my digital camera, but it is out of town with my husband while he is job & house hunting in San Antonio...(Tis why we have taken over the dining room!!) ;)
