Enjoy

How was your weekend? Christopher and I camped out on the screened-in deck Saturday night. Once the air conditioners in the neighborhood died down it was heaven listening to the creek flow, the crickets chirp and croaking frogs...nature's symphony! :) 

Last Friday I spent a bit of time playing with my stash and had such a great time creating the 'Go Girl' skate card that I kept going and made this greeting with an old October Afternoon vintage print card. Such a sweet image! 

Well, I'm hoping the sun pops out soon. We've had a lot of rain during the past week with a tropical storm off the coast. Hopefully it'll be a productive happy Monday.

Enjoy!

Team USA

T.G.I.F!

Have you been enjoying the Olympics?

Thought I would create a patriotic card in honor of the games.

Supplies include a Cuddlebug star embossing folder, a Tiny Tags die cut, sentiment stamp and star dies by Papertrey Ink. The star border cut is from My Favorite Things and the baker's twine is from Doodlebug Design.

Hope you have some great plans for the weekend! :)

July Fourth

Hello! I'm popping in today to wish you all a wonderful Fourth of July! I made this card to share with you just for the occasion.

Stars and stripes, oh my! I used a couple sheets of Bella Blvd. patterned paper for this project. The red sheet is from their Christmas Wishes line and the blue is from the Sophisticates collection. Who needs a July Fourth line when you have Bella Blvd?

I included some of my favorite things on this card like stitching, layering and buttons. The star stick pins were created with a couple buttons glued onto some other pins in my stash.

Today I also have a post up on the Love my Tapes blog. Here's just a little peek. :) I hope you have a chance to see it.

So, what are your plans for the day? We're going to go see the new Disney/Pixar movie Brave. Dinner will be Fajitas. What?!?! I know, so un-American! I used to make barbecue baked beans, potato salad, chicken on the grill, sliced watermelon, all the traditional things, but my boys only ate the chicken! Christopher would eat the watermelon too, but that's it. Neither of them like baked beans or potato salad, and I'm telling you, I make a really mean potato salad! Anyway, I ended up eating all the left overs and gaining several pounds! Not good!

Enjoy your holiday!
