I'm back from spring break! Christopher was away at camp last week so Dan and I had a stay-cation which was quite lovely! 

I'm happy to be back blogging again because I love creating and sharing crafty projects with you! 

I made this card with Richard Garay's retail lines, Make Amazing Happen, Lumber Jack Days and Noteworthy. I thought it would be fun to mix and match and play with them to see what I could come up with. 

What do you think? I think the collections work beautifully together! 

Have you created any RG projects mixing the collections? Which do you like to combine? Hope to see your projects on social media!

Make Amazing Happen

Good Friday to you all! I have a Pinspired card to share with you today. While perusing through my 'Craft - Cards' Pinterest board recently I ran across a card that I had to re-create. 

Below is the gorgeous card by Wida Miller that made my heart go pitta-pat!

Ack! I love the ruffled look! It's so fun and a great way to show off several coordinating patterned papers! 

I immediately thought of RG's new Make Amazing Happen collection with it's colorful prints on one side and black on the other. 

 I new Nida's design would be perfect for these papers, am I right?

Make Amazing Happen

Everyday is a great day to make amazing happen, wouldn't you agree? 

 I love the pretty flowers and the fabulous sentiments in RG's new Make Amazing Happen collection that debuted at CHA in January! So fresh, so spring, so fun! 

And the patterned papers...swoon!  

What will you do to make amazing things happen today? 

I'm going to create some amazing projects for you using Fun Stampers Journey's new Be Amazing collection. And I'm going to appreciate all that I have...my health, my boys, our home, the beautiful spring-like weather we're experiencing here in North Carolina! It's going to be a beautiful and amazing day!
