Thirty Times Two

Hello stampers!

I hope you are enjoying the long Memorial Day weekend.  We've spent a lot of time packing, but also had time for holiday traditions and good food!

Back in February, I shared that the first three of my Mom's grandchildren tuned 30 this year.  The oldest had his birthday in February.  Several days ago, the other two celebrated their birthdays.  No, not twins, but cousins, born on the same day, 12 hour apart.  We all told my Mom that's what she got for saying she was ready for grand kids - three in a little more than 90 days!

At any rate, here are the cards I created for their birthdays.

Her card uses the retiring Talented Trio stamp set and his uses the retiring Skating By stamp set. (Both sets are now sold out).  Both are watercolored using Aqua Painters and colors from the new In Color collection.
