And It's All Really Good

The sun is shining.  I like my job.  My car is like new.  And it's all really good!

Lacey & Lovely

I thought I would show you a gift idea today.  Take 1 stamp set (I used Lacey & Lovely), 2 colors of ink & card stock & some Whisper White card stock.  I used Strawberry Slush & Pistachio Pudding.  A petite flower & some bling & you have a very nice gift!

Enjoy.  Thanks for stopping by.  

Would You Like a Cup of Tea?

I wanted this section of the Tea For Two DSP to be the focus of my card.  Adding a few accessories & I was done!

K Is For Kindness

Super easy card today,  One stamp set, one ink, one punch, one framelit, & one embossing folder.  One and done!

Thanks so much for visiting me today!

Are you a Pinterest member?  I was so inspired by a card from Mariana Grigsby that I had to make one!

I used Rainbow Sherbet DSP (retired) as the colors of her card were what grabbed me.  Then I used Stampin' Up! Markers to ink my stamps.  This was such a fun design.  Thanks Mariana for sharing.

And thank you for stopping by my blog today!!

5 Down & 4 To Go

For my Aunt Clo I wanted to stay away from frilly, i wanted striking but not too pretty. 

For my cousin Juanita I went for pretty but simple to save some time. Too much to do today.

My cousin Sherry is an artist so I wanted her card to be a little edgy.

June Brings An Abundance Of Birthdays

There are 9 birthdays for June & early July!  Since I started late this year, I decided to go with a theme - 1 stamp set and  a coordinating punch.  A time saver tip. 

 

First up us Aneya's who turned 4.  She's the newest sports star in the family.  She is rough & tough but still a girl so I chose bold colors with a bit of soft pink in the ruffle.

The next one is for my good friend Bonnie.  I probably should keep her age under wraps!  For this card I chose a clean, crisp white that will help you keep cool in a hot June.  I paired this up with two more cool colors Baja Breeze and Pear Pizzazz.

(Note to self - apparently I sent Bonnie a different card as I still have this one)

You Are Not Forgotten

I stopped in at my LSS after work Fri. looking for inspiration & was immediately & emotionally connected to this decorative paper.  I knew the photos I wanted use so went in search of them Sat.  I didn't find them, but found these & knew these were perfect to honor the veteran in my life who has passed away in addition to wall of our veterans!

To those who have lost a loved one, may God fill your heart with peace.

I miss you Randy.

Hostess Gift

I was invited to a party Sat. night & wanted to bring the Hostess a small gift.  The flowers are made from a printed burlap & another fabric but I'm not sure what it is.  It's very soft with lots of texture which pairs nicely with the rough, stiff burlap.  

The next photo shows the pretty sack I decorated to give them to her in.  

Hello Gingham Garden

Growing up, our clothes were hand made by my Mom. Her loving hands created entire wardrobes for my brother & sisters & myself. Something I took for granted I now see the love she put into each garment. Her talent & craftsmanship I am so proud of today.

I also understand her love of fabric with its colors, patterns & textures. She had a large closet full of her purchases just waiting for her to find the opportunity, need or occasion.

These memories flooded in as I am posting this design. New paper to create with called Gingham Garden available June 1.

I miss you Mom.
