Some super stuff...

I often wonder how many people wonder about the name of my little blog....sometimes when I think back, I wish I would've chose something prettier or classier for my blog name, but this just fits us.  I love to share bits and pieces of our life along with my paper creations, and super heroes are such a part of our everyday life.  I mean, I know Batman's birthday for pete's sake.  How many of you can say that?  But, what fun is life without heroes that can fly, and drive cool contraptions and rid the world of any sort of bad guy you could imagine with just the lift of a finger?  Ahhh.. the wonderful imagination of children.  I hope they never loose it.  If you want to read the original story of my blog name, you can read it here, from when I started this blog almost 2 years ago (has it been that long??? Crazy!). 

It's funny how lots of things haven't changed in nearly two years.  Here....see what I mean?  This is what I had running around my house today.  Sometimes I swear my kids spend more time in costume than normal clothing.  :-)  We got to spend some fun time with cousins today that we rarely see.  The kids had a blast...and aparently love superheroes as much as my own do.  (I LOVE the expression on the littlest one's face....TOTALLY cracks me up!!!)

 

On to a card...another using Papertrey's new Cupcake collection.  I'm addicted, I know.  This one has a shabby feel...

And just a card for fun, using some new stuff I picked up at A Walk Down Memory Lane...Cosmo Cricket and October Afternoon papers....my two most favoritest paper companies.  They both have that fun style, bright colors, with just a touch of a vintage feel.  Perfectly my style.  LOVE the new Cherry Hill from October Afternoon.  It's so adorable and I am so in to anything with cherries lately!!
