Friendship

 Good morning!

This past week has been busy crazy

but their has been some real

highlights.

We got a chance to see my college bestie and her family

on Friday/Saturday

and watch her daughter play volleyball against ours.

(it has been a couple of years)

It was also beautiful

to see my nieces wedding photos/video, it truly was an

amazing day and warms my heart

to see everyone so very happy!

So see these special people in my

life although, we don't talk often

or see one another often, touched my heart.

I love them all dearly and life has

a way of being so busy

that connecting just doesn't seem to happen

for either sides.

So my card was created with these friends in mind.

The Project Bin had the perfect sentiment

#bff stamp set

and the heart die is from

In My Heart

 As you can tell the last few

cards, that have been made are 

with more fall colors.

I do love it when the trees change colors

and the richness just makes

me want to curl up with

a cup of hot chocolate.

Be sure to join us each day on The Project Bin blog

my talented DT friends will inspire you.

Thank you so much for stopping by

Have an amazing week ahead

Hugs,

Birthday Girl!

 Good morning to everyone in blogger land.

Today, is going to be a bit of an emotional day

as our daughter registers for her last year of high school.

How did we get to grade 12 so fast?

It seems like it was yesterday that we walked her up

the steps to kindergarten. September 3 is when

it will really set in, hoping the tears stay at bay...LOL.

Today, is the last Monday of August

and I have whipped up this

clean and simple card design

using The Project Bin stamp sets

Birthday Girl and #bff

 I just love these two sentiments together

and thought that it would

be fun to stamp it right onto this

fun striped pattern paper.

Use a punch and die cut for some splash

and some pop with the flowers and pearls.

Over at The Project Bin blog they have 

inspiration for you Monday-Friday

so pop on over and see what my fellow

team mates have for you this week.

Thank you so much for joining me today,

Have a really blessed week ahead.

Hugs,

You Make Me Laugh...

Good Monday morning!

Did you have a good weekend?

We were able to enjoy sometime with a friend

who we have not been able to see in a long time.

She made us an amazing Indian meal

that was like a soup with veggies, a rice bread 

and a cucumber yogurt spicy topping. It was all so delicious.

Like a party in your mouth...hee hee.

A long walk was definitely needed and enjoyed afterwards.

It is my turn to share my project with you

for The Project Bin.

I am highlighting the

#bff

stamp set for you today!

You Can Make Me Laugh

when the last thing

I WANT TO DO IS SMILE

is one of my favorite sentiments.

It can be for a spouse or a friend

anyone who can manage to make you smile

when the world is maybe giving you not

much to smile about.

My card size is 5x5

The paper is rich razzleberry, elegant egg plant and whisper white

The dies are from Gina Marie Designs and Craftin' Desert Divas

My flowers are unknown.

It has been fun using up scrap pieces of dies

to make a picture like window to highlight

this gorgeous sentiment. 

Please join us at The Project Bin Blog

for more inspiration each day of the week.

Believe me when I say you will be inspired.

Have an amazing and blessed day!

Thank you so much for joining me.

Hugs,

Friendship Refreshes The Soul...

Happy Monday morning!

It was a great weekend partly because we

received much needed rain all weekend. 

It was off and on but it was great.

We even had some thunder and lightening.

Although some places did receive snow too.

On Friday night it was only +4 here at about 10:30 pm.

Our son Robin ran his first half marathon yesterday,

we are so very proud of him. He had been only training

for about a month and his time was 1:59 minutes.

His girlfriend Summer and their son Emery were there

cheering him on at the side lines.

We are so very, very proud of him.

Now onto some crafty goodness.

Today, I am highlighting

a stamp set from The Project Bin

called #bff

I adore this sentiment because sometimes

we just need a little reminder of how much

friendships can and do brighten our lives and our souls.

All you need some days is to hear that voice

 or maybe a text, a memory or a card that brings

a smile to your face.

The above #bff sentiment was stamped 

with Memento Ink in my Misti.

The circle die is by Spellbinders, Leaves by My Favorite Things

and the Stitched die by Your Next Stamp.

The leaves were on a flourish die that I cut off separately to use

for the flowers.

The paper is all from Stampin' up

A clean and simple card design for this week.

Please come and join us each day of the week for

new inspiration from our Design Team!

You will be guaranteed to be inspired.

Until next time, have a wonderful day and

thank you so much for joining me.

#bff are the Best

Good morning friends!

It has been an amazing May long weekend

for us. It was spent celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary!

It was busy but yet really quiet at the same time.

Do you ever mix up what day it is, when your kids or spouse

has some extra time off of work?

Well, I already did that this weekend

and will be messing the days up the rest of this week

because the kids had two days off of school.

Today, is The Project Bin Monday

where it is my turn to showcase, my DT creation.

On this card two stamp sets were used:

Spring Zen and #bff

 A clean and simple design was used to high lite these 

two stamp sets from The Project Bin.

Copic Markers, scissors, pop-ups, enamel dots (YNS),

spellbinder circle and scalloped

circle dies were used. The paper is from Stampin' Up.

Each day of the week, my fellow awesome and talented

Design Team teammates have inspiration for you

over at The Project Bin blog. Be sure to check it out

and leave some love for everyone.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

Have a very amazing week ahead

and may

it include some time to craft if you are able.

Hugs,

Friendship Refreshes the Soul

 Hello, welcome back to my blog friends.

It has been a really enjoyable

and slower weekend. It has been nice

playing in my craft room, watching basketball,

some other T.V. shows, playing with 

our grandson and his mom.

Oh and although, I avoided some house work

I know it is still here for me today. *wink*

My brand new card for you today,

is using a stamp set called 

#bff

from The Project Bin

Isn't the font just awesome

and the sentiment is so true.

The card above was taken using natural light

and the one just below is taken using a studio light 

from my phone. It is so interesting, the color difference.

Which one do you like better?

The #bff stamp set has 6 incredible sayings

for friendship and just a boost

for someones heart and self-esteem.

Not to mention they stamp beautifully.

I used memento ink on the sentiment

The dies are unknown to me.

The papers are from Stampin' Up

(whisper white & a pink??)

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
