5-Minute Card + May SSS Card Kit

I saw my friend, Kristina, tweet about a 5-minute card challenge the other day. I will admit – I laughed… thinking that there was no way I could take on that challenge. Me? I’m slow.

Then I got in the mail my May Simon Says Stamp Card Kit. When I saw this greeting stamp + die cut in there, I knew I could take on the challenge…

And I can’t believe I did it. I am usually so slow. But I did! Used theΒ May Simon Says Stamp Card Kit (so adorable, that kit is) and my favorite heart border punch to make the scattering of hearts. Must-haves….

(Supplies are below the big-belly photo…)

In other news, I have been getting a lot of emails about when the baby is due. Not to much longer… a few short weeks. Although he/she seems to act anxious to make an appearance, Colin stayed in extra long, so I don’t know what to expect. This has been rough on my apparently-too-old body, but the baby is happy as a clam in there. Thank you for all the kind emails – means a lot. And, yes, Colin is excited beyond words. I counted today – he kissed my belly 48 times. And sang 6 songs to it, said “be nice to mommy” 3 times and promised to share his legos with him/her twice. He is already so very much in love…

See you soon.

(Oh, the winner of the MME buttons was Mendi. I emailed you.)

    Great card and so fast. You’re a pregnant genius, which is hard to do. I was dumb as a doornail when I was preggers. It’s fantastic that Colin is so excited. Train him early to change diapers.
