Freaking Amazing

Hello friends!  It's Thursday night and I have a 3 day weekend ahead of me!  Hooray for Independence Day!  Thought I'd share a card I made for the latest Paper Issues link party - Seas the Day.  Nothing says summer or vacation like a nice cold glass of lemonade right?  I made this card using American Crafts paper, Simple Stories Summer Vibes Bits & Pieces and Paper Issues Freaking Sentiments stamp set - this is the PG version.  Such a sassy stamp set - I love it!

I hope you enjoy your holiday - be safe!

Hooray for the Red, White and Blue

Hello!  Remember me?!  How on earth has so much time gone by?  This is the first card I've made in MONTHS.  I haven't been doing much crafting at all.  That needs to change!  I had a few hours this afternoon with no kids to taxi around, so I decided to play along with Paper Issues Hooray for the Red, White and Blue challenge.  I'm getting in just  under the wire - today is the last day to play along. 

Tomorrow is the first day of summer vacation for my two younger sons, and I have to still go to work.  I hardly see how that's fair!  What are you doing for fun this summer?

Thanks for stopping by -

bonjour!

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card I made a week or so ago using Lawn Fawn's Gleeful Garden set.  I think this has got to be one of my most favorite stamp sets in the history of the universe!  The snails are too cute!  The flower, the bird, the mushrooms!  I took French for many years in high school and college, so the bonjour sentiment is fun too!


I think we may have turned the corner on the weather ... it's supposed to be mild all week with no snow in the forecast.  It's supposed to be in the 50s on Wednesday and Thursday.  YES!!

Enjoy your week!

snail mail

Happy Weekend everyone!  I made this card for the It's Hip to be Square Paper Issue.  Aren't these the cutest snails?  I may have mentioned a time (or two) before that I love Lawn Fawn products.  And the matching dies make it super easy to cut out the images quickly. 

Today is the last day of February.  Finally! I'm hoping that March brings spring in a hurry!  I am really not enjoying this cold weather.  At all.  We did see a couple of robins this week, so there's hope right?

Enjoy!

happy birthday

A quick post tonight to celebrate Lawnscaping Challenge's 100th challenge!  I am a big fan of Lawn Fawn products.  The cuteness factor, oh my!  This was a really easy card to make.  I stamped the bear image from the Love You S'More set and cut it out with the matching dies.  I attached him with foam so he stands out a bit.  Then I added "Happy Birthday" (also from Lawn Fawn) and added some bling with the sequins.  The end! 

It's still cold here.  So very cold.  And I'm so very tired of it.  March is around the corner, and I'm hoping spring isn't far behind. 

Stay warm!

happy valentines day

Hey y'all!!  As you read this, I'll be in GA enjoying warmer weather (hopefully!), spending some time with Bill when he's not working, and visiting with my sister!

Here's another card I made with the February Simon Says Stamp Car Kit.  This one is a bit more traditional.  There were a lot of really beautiful papers in this month's kit.  And how cute is the heart made of paper clips?! 

Do you send out valentines?

valetines

I think Valentines are so much fun to make!  Every year I make several for family and friends.  This month's Simon Says Stamp Card Kit has some really good rub ons in it.  I had fun playing with them.  And I think the black & white is something different for a valentine.

Bill & I are headed to GA for a long weekend.  He has a work event that's about an hour from my sister, so I'm going to visit her while he works!  Hooray!

Have a good weekend!
