Stampin' like crazy...

I know I haven't posted in a few days but that doesn't mean I haven't been stamping! I sure have! My purpose was to dig out some old sets that I haven't used in a while. The hedgehogs are my absolute favorite old set I have. I bought these quite a few years ago because they were so stinkin' cute. I never even used them! My plan until the end of the month is to use all the sets I currently own! Ummm... maybe that's an unrealistic goal.

So, I am trying to make some very simple, fun cards that go the extra mile. I think both of these fit that mold. I stink at making holes... LOL. On my red card the brads are a little crooked.

I even tried using pearl ex on the blue card. I LOVE IT on the Hedgehog holding the balloon but don't care for it much on the background balloons.
