A is for Alphabet Stamps
I like alphabets and fonts. ( Just humor me for a moment. Let's just pretend that the only thing I like/collect is alphabet stamps) I don't really have that many, but probably more than I need (smile). So recently I found this incredible blow out-can't-pass that-up-sale and I bought a couple several more sets. Here's a link to the sale at Crafts ETC. ( Hobby Lobby's online store). It looks like the price went up a little, but, wow, you still can't beat that price.... if you are in the market for Alphabet stamps. I mentioned before that I'm organizing(and purging). The goal is to see and therefore use what I have. I decided that I need some kind of order to my self-challenges to use the stuff I have. So I'm going thru the stamps and accessories according to the alphabet.
My son was in a school wide spelling bee last week and my neighbor brought him a balloon and candy to congratulate him (for 5th place). Here is the card I made for him to thank her.
Do you like the timing of this challenge with the alphabet stamps and the spelling bee?? I love how that worked out!
This is his "Mom don't make such a big deal in front of all these people" face.
I made this card first. After it was all said and done I decided that I didn't like it enough, so I put my thinking cap on and remembered that I recently bought the Me and My Big Ideas Kids stamps.

He is so handsome! Congratulations to him--I love the spelling bee!
Gee, wonder where you picked up those cute little kids! :-) Fun to see that you put them to good use! Your card is darling!
Congrats on your son's effort in the spelling bee! That's fun!
Were have I been?? Congrats to your DS for placing in the spelling bee. He's such a handsome boy!
Really nice card - really nice son, aren't children funny with the faces they pull (my daughter is the worst for it in our family!) I do hope your son is much better now.
