Live in the Moment

Hello! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous here in North Carolina making it perfect for getting outdoors for a little exercise, vitamin D and N (nature)! 

I've been going on a walk almost everyday and plan to go hiking this weekend. How about you...any plans to get outside and to enjoy some sunshine and a little fresh air? 

All my outdoors walks inspire projects like this card with lots leaves and earth tones. 

I used the variety of foliage stamps included in the Lead Me and Bird Sketch stamp sets and one tiny little log stamp from a brand new set that just debuted at the Fun Stampers Journey 2016 convention. Do you know which set it's from? Do you have a catalog yet? 

I just got to see the entire thing and it's something special! Hope you enjoy it, crafting and the great outdoors!

I Love You

Hi! Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day! My favorite mother to celebrate with is Mother Nature so my boys and I went for a hike at Durrant Park and lake on Saturday. It was a glorious day and memorable time with a wonderfully delicious and healthy picnic lunch! 

Also, in honor of Mother's Day and Mother Nature, I created this card with lots of beautiful leaves and flowers from Fun Stampers Journey Lead Me stamp set. 

To add color, I used one of the Brush Strokes stamps and five of FSJ's vibrant stamp colors. 

So that I didn't cover up any of these beautiful stamped images, I used a tiny sentiment from the Text Happy set along with the Tag This tiny tag to add my greeting. 

Hope you enjoy this card and I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Mother's Day!

Leaf Week - Day Five

Good day, peeps! I have one final leafy card share for you to wrap up Leaf Week. 

For today's card I created a background of leaves using a combination of stamps from the Lead Me set and several bright ink pad colors. 

I love the variety of leaf shapes in this set. 

I thought it would be fun to add a leaf peeking out from under the collage paper. 

I hope you've enjoyed my parade of fall cards this week and I hope you and your family enjoy a lovely autumn weekend!
