Happy World Card Making Day!!

Happy World Card Making Day!!  Today is one of my most favorite days of the year.  I love that so many people from around the world get together to celebrate!  It’s so inspiring!!  :)

I have a Fresh Squeezed Stamps creation to share with you today.  I’ve used a couple of our brand new stamp sets, Happy Hexagons and The Sweet Life to create this fun, happy card.  I’ve used the hexagons and the heart to create my flowers.  The stem is the flight trail that would typically be used with either the bees or the bird in the The Sweet Life.

Be sure to also check out the Fresh Squeezed Stamps blog today – I hear they have a surprise for you to help celebrate World Card Making Day!  :)))

Happy Birthday Butterfly

Hello!  Happy Wednesday!  How’s it going?  It’s been hot here (again!) so we’ve been melting a bit each day this week.  I had a couple crafty friends over on Monday and managed to make four cards!  I still need to take pictures of them, so I’m sharing a card I made a couple weeks ago instead of a new one.

I used some Simple Stories Summer Fresh papers and tags.  The butterfly is Studio Calico and the twine is from May Arts.  Sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

Happy Birthday

Hello!  Happy Friday!!  I hope you’ve had a great and not too long week!  I’m on the cusp of a three day weekend (I don’t work Mondays) and I’m so ready for it to start!  I have some crafty projects to get done this weekend.  The office manager where I work is having a birthday next week and I volunteered to make a birthday banner as they decorate our spaces for our birthdays.  I love that!!

While playing around with scraps a couple weeks ago, I threw together this strip-y card using scraps from an Echo Park winter line from last year and some Cosmo Cricket leftover from a Paper Made Bakery kit (info on how to get yours HERE).  It’s based on a card layout I did a few months ago.  HERE is the original card…

Where to Begin?

Let’s see… Last time we spoke I had gotten a new pool and a new job!  Both are excellent, thank you for asking!  :)  I spent Friday night with a great group of friends making Christmas cards, complete with holiday music and a DIY Ice Cream Sundae bar!  Today I’m doing a Garden Art card class today with some of the same friends.  Should be an excellent afternoon!!   :)

So last week I was all about using my scraps and leftover bits and pieces.  The butterfly is from Heidi Swapp and something I had inked up many, many moons ago.  The patterned paper is My Minds Eye and the sentiment is a new Studio Calico/Hero Arts stamp.  Not a super complicated card but I’m loving the colors!!

Talk to you soonish!!

Heat Wave

Hello everybodeeeeeee!  How’s it hanging?  We’ve been having some crazy HOT weather lately.  We rent our house and it doesn’t have A/C, so we’ve been melting daily!  We bought a swamp cooler a couple months ago but even that hasn’t been enough for us lately. So…. we bought an above-ground POOL!  Woo hoo!  We just finished figuring out the chemicals that are needed and tomorrow we should be able to go out in it!  I’m *SO* excited!!  :)  My new swimsuit was just delivered today, so I’m all ready for tomorrow!

I have a card to share with you today!  I was playing with my scraps a lot last week and this is one of the results.  The tag is American Crafts/Amy Tangerine and the paper is a mix of Echo Park, Lily Bee Design and maybe someone else?  I lost track!  :)

 

I hope you are having a great week!  Only one more day until Friday FUN day!  :))) Enjoy!
