Aim For the Stars

Happy Memorial Day!  I hope you’re all enjoying an awesome three day weekend!  My weekend has been fairly low key thus far but I’m ending it on a BANG!  (Insert Exciting News HERE)…I’m so delighted to share that I’m being featured today on the Moxie Fab World blog as Moxie Fabber of the Week!  :))))

I’ve got another Gallery Idol open audition number today.  I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for a couple of weeks now and finally sat down to put it to paper earlier this week.  Saying I love how this turned out is an understatement.  I’m in love with this card, like seriously in love!

Congrats! Balloons

Happy Saturday!  Happy three day weekend!  This is one of the few holidays that my hubby gets off, so that makes me extra happy!!  :)  While I plan to spend lots of time with him this weekend, I also have plans tonight to get together with a girlfriend for crafting and pizza!

I recently got the Sweet Day collection from Echo Park and made a few cards with it earlier this week.  This is one of those cards.  I love the muted colors in this collection. It’s all very warm and fuzzy to me.  Happy sigh…

You Can Do It!

Hello again!  So here we are at Thursday already.  I don’t know about you, but this week has gone by super fast for me.  I got a ton of stuff done yesterday, including squeezing in a little time for crafting last night.  I didn’t make this card last night, but last week while at a friend’s house.  I *love* everything about this card; from the colors, patterns and the layout I used.  Love!!!  In case you didn’t notice, it’s yet another encouragement card for the Gallery Idol open auditions…  :)

You’re the Best

Hello friends!  I have another encouragement card to share today.  This one has some of my favorite Lily Bee Designs patterned paper on it.  I *love* LBD papers!!  I kept this card pretty simple.  My new favorite embellishments are the tiny laser cut wood pieces from Studio Calico.  I only have the stars and butterflies, but I want them all!!  :)

You’e the Pick of the Patch

Welcome to another Monday!  I hope you all had a FAB weekend!  Mine was pretty low-key.  I did go to the Paper Made Bakery card class here in San Diego, but other than that, not much else.  :)  I did make a couple more encouragement themed cards for Gallery Idol this weekend.  I actually have a few saved up to share on my blog throughout the next week or so.  Hopefully you won’t get too tired of being encouraged!  :)
