DAD

 Good morning and a very Happy June 1st to you!

It has been an emotional past couple of weeks,

as our daughter would have been graduating 

with her cap/grown ceremony and then the dinner/dance

portion the next day.

Her dress was delayed, we finally got it and are now

in the process of finding someone who can alter it for her.

So pictures, hair and everything else has been cancelled,

until that is all done.

We will make things special for her though.

The weather has brought us lots of wind, some rain

and some amazing sunny days too.

My Monday post for The Project Bin

has me highlighting two newer stamp sets

called Defined and Wild Thing

 Defined has so many amazing sentiments

and

Wild Thing has sentiments and two dies to go with it.

Since we are in June it won't be long before it is

Father's Day, hoping you enjoy this card.

 I broke out my colored inks

to make this hand stamped Father's Day pattern paper

using the sentiment from Defined. On the yellow piece of

paper has another sentiment from the Defined set. 

My sponge dauber came in handy for the dad sentiment to age it a bit.

The bike was stamped, but out using it's die and then colored

using my Prisma colored pencils (green and black).

The image is also popped up with dimensional.

Digging deep into some old stash,

I found some linen thread to add a little something behind

my sentiment to fill the space.

Please come on over to The Project Bin Blog,

My fellow and very talented Design Teammates

We have started to paint my new craft room,

so I will keep you up to date on the progress and 

what it looks like when we are done.

Wishing you an amazing day

and a huge

thank you for all the comments 

they really make my day!

Massive Hugs,

DAD

 Good, good morning to everyone!

Today, is an exciting day for my hubby and me.

We are celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary

and our 29th year of being together.

He is my best friend, my rock and the love of my life.

It will be a low key celebration because of the pandemic.

We aren't usually over the top for celebrating

but do like to go out for supper.

On to why you are here.

For The Project Bin today,

I am highlighting the Stamp set

Defined.

Isn't this a fantastic set,

Look at all of these sentiments.

 The first thing I did was make

my pattern paper out of three different kinds of

washi tape.

They are all silver but the one had a little hint of

yellow, so that is where my yellow layer came from.

Some of the washi tape is full width and other

layers were cut by hand.

Then I decided to leave a space on an angle

where I could stamp 

Happy father's day

I think it looks pretty good.

I then broke out my paper

masked off the bottom part of the dad stamp

to just use the word dad.

added it on top of some layers

and woola a father's day card has been made.

Please check out The Project Bin blog, week days for

more inspiration and also the store.

You never know what kind of deals Denise will have for you.

Thank you so much for stopping by today,

Crafting Hugs,

Happy Mother's Day

Good morning my friends!

What a blustery Sunday we had, lots of rain

and some snow. We do need the moisture that is for sure

but brrrr...it was a little chilly after the warm weather

we have been having. I hope that everyone had a good

weekend. Our weekend was pretty productive in

our house and at my moms.

It is my turn to share a creation with you

for The Project Bin.

The Stamp set that is being highlighted

is called DEFINED.

The sentiments are awesome for Mother's Day

I tried different lighting to show the sentiments

a little better.

 Two were used, it is a little hard to read with the ink

color that was used. The Top sentiment says,

special

['spe-shel] adjective

The person reading this

Happy mother's day on the arrow.

 The sentiment on the inside says

mom

[mam] noun

The woman with eyes in

the back of her head

See also: saint

 On the inside I used three simple layers to give

it a little pop to high light the 

sentiment. It is from the same pattern paper pack.

 I used a flower pattern because my mom

absolutely loved her flowers.

They brought her so much joy.

The pearls were just something special too,

as my mom also loved a little bit of bling on her cards.

I want to wish everyone a very Happy Mother's Day coming up.

It includes step moms, aunties who are like moms, adoptive moms,

friend moms and anyone who just is special to you like a mom.

It is a time to cherish and honor them.

We are so blessed.

Thank you Denise for making this set.

Please join us over at the blog to see more inspiration.

Thank you for joining me today!

Wishing you a safe and healthy week.

Hugs,

Mom

 Good morning friends.

We have had some different weather changes

all within like 20 minutes of one another.

One minute blue skies, sunny, windy, the next snowing

huge snowflakes and then back to sun, blue skies, windy,

then snowing again almost looked like

we would be getting a blizzard. The next morning it was

raining, then blue skies.

The rain made everything smell so fresh.

Hopefully it can get the snow mold washed away too.

 Today is my turn to highlight a stamp set

for The Project Bin.

I just received the newest set called

DEFINED

Aren't the sentiments just fantastic?

 I used the mom stamp

and Happy mother's day stamp from the set.

This wonderful day celebrating our Mother's is

coming up soon.

 The paper is used from an old stash of 6X6 papers.

I took a oval die and cut a chunk out

so that I could layer the paper under it

and stamp on it.

 The flowers, I dug deep into an old embellishment drawer

and pulled them out to help highlight this wonderful

sentiment that Denise designed for us.
