Happy B-Day!

Hello! Today I have a birthday card to share with you that I created a few weeks back with the Love You More collection from Pebbles. 

The bright colors of this line and childhood icons make it perfect for cards and scrapbook pages of our little ones. This card reminds me of the quilt on Christopher's bed. It has airplanes flying all over it just like this!

So how was your weekend? Did you travel somewhere? Stay at home? Work? We go out to dinner every other weekend and this weekend was Christopher's turn to choose the restaurant, California Pizza Kitchen. I was surprised since his preference is fish, seafood and sushi! He said he was in the mood for pizza...pepperoni to be exact! :)

Our weekend also included a trip to the flea market. The hubs and I went and arrived back home with a big juicy watermelon and a stove-top popcorn maker that has a crank in the handle. It was brand new and just $10! A while ago we gave up microwave popcorn because of the excess packaging. Instead we microwaved our corn in a brown paper bag that can be used multiple times. That worked pretty well except a lot of the kernels didn't pop. I don't know if it's our microwave or what happens when you pop corn with no oil? We tried our new popper last night and I was happy to see only two kernels at the bottom of the pan! And oh how delicious! Organic corn popped in a touch of olive oil, topped with a little butter and seasoned salt. Yum! It's the little things that make me happy! :)

Well, I hope you like the card and have a great week!

Gallery Idol 2013

How many of you enjoy the TV show American Idol? Have you heard of Paper Crafts magazine's version, Gallery Idol? It's a greeting card contest and open audition birthday cards for kids and teens are due May 27th. Are you participating? 

I thought I'd try out this year. Here's one of my entry cards using Pebbles' Love You More collection. Come play along! This is going to be a lot of fun! :)

Looking for a Little Sunshine

Hi! 

I'm really really missing the sun! We haven't had a sunny day in over a week here in North Carolina and it's not supposed to show again until Thursday, maybe. I might have to take maters into my own hands and go on a road trip in search of some warm rays! Would you like to join me? 

I wonder...how far we would I have to drive to find a little sunshine? Would we have to cross state lines?

Anyway, this card I created with the Love You More collection from Pebbles seemed like an appropriate craft share for a road trip. :) Love these cute and colorful little car stickers!

So, is the sun shining in your neck of the woods? Would you go outside for a few minutes and soak up some of those beautiful warm rays for me? :)

Have a beautiful day!

Love You

I'm starting the week off with a card post for you using the Love You More collection from Pebbles.

I love the texture this burlap trim adds and it works so well with this pretty floral paper, don't you think? I'm a pinwheel girl too and have to include them on my cards often as I can get away with! ;)

Well, I've got a lengthy to-do list this morning so I'm going to get to it. Hope you have a great start to your week! :)
