Happy 1st Monday of May!

Today for The Project Bin

I am highlighting the stamp set

Born Yesterday

My card above has been made for 

my beautiful grandma who will be 96 years old

this week. She remembers everyone of her grand kids,

great grand kids and great, great grand kids.

Her ability to always remember their birthdays is so

amazing and truly a treasure beyond words.

She is very special and inspiration to all of us

her strength and love.

The sentiment that was used from this set

is so true, she is more beautiful than ever.

The pattern paper used was on purpose as

my grandma always had a very green thumb and

loved her flowers and gardening.

This stamp set from The Project Bin

brings back some awesome memories

for me eating at a family run cafe in Millet.

It had a Jukebox that we all just loved to go pick songs on.

The milkshakes were amazing too.

Nothing like a jukebox filled with fantabulous music!!!

Jukebox Birthday

A very versatile set again and you can 

use the dies to cut out the stamps, how cool is that?

Green ink just jumped out at me for stamping the

Your Loving Spirit Helped Me...

Happy Days are here again...

where has the week gone?

On a good note for me it is

The Project Bin Monday and time to share a

brand new creation with you.

Today, the two stamps sets being highlighted are

In My Heart and Deer Mom

 

The heart die was used for this card from the In My Heart Set

and the sentiment

was used from the Deer Mom set which is new.

The sentiment I felt could be used for mother's day

but honestly for anyone man or woman whose spirit

has helped you find your own.

My daubers found their way onto my ink pad (Early Espresso)

to add some distressing to the edges of my papers. 

Stampin' Up papers/ribbon/pearls were also used.

Spellbinders cut out the wonderful sentiment.

My pattern paper is unknown

A Balanced Diet...

Welcome to my blog this Monday morning!

It is my post day for The Project Bin

and today the set being highlighted is

Fun Is Good

I don't know about you but cupcakes are so awesome

and it is sure hard to stop at one.

Loving the idea of having a balanced diet with 

one in each hand.

The card above was made using Stampin' Up paper and

Little Darlings pattern paper. To add some texture a dauber

was used with Early Espresso ink to distress on the edges.

Also the texture on the pink is from a embossing folder

called from Cuttlebug. Gems and ribbon finish it off.

I believe the layout is from an old Mojo Monday sketch

but couldn't find it again on pinterest to share with you.

Hop on by The Project Bin Blog to see more inspiration

each week day.

Wishing you an amazing day!

Why Fit In....

Happy Monday morning!

Today, it is my pleasure to share this

stamp set called 

Spencer's Set 

On April 2 it was Austim awareness day

This stamp set is so perfect with the sentiments

and the puzzle pieced heart.

When making this card, I decided to cut out a piece

and pop it up to show that sometimes

their are special pieces in life that stand out 

and that is just okay, that with Austim no matter how

wide the spectrum those pieces still fit together with us

but that they also can stand out.

Denise has designed a stellar set and named it

after her son Spencer, to celebrate him.

The sentiments are so perfect and can be used 

in many different ways.

"Why fit in when you were born to stand out?"

Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss was a wise man with this statement and so ahead of his

time. Their are just people and things in life

that make each and everyday extra special.

They stand out, which is okay and they are perfect just

the way they are. Acceptance and awareness

is the key.

Thank you Denise for making such an amazing set.

Please check out The Project Bin Blog

for more inspiration.

Thank you for sharing my latest card with me.

Someone I love was....

Good morning!

It has been a fabulous weekend, celebrating birthdays

and Easter with family.

The card that I am sharing with you

The stamp set used is called

Born Yesterday

Isn't this sentiment perfect?

What a great set for celebrating someone

special!

Recipe:

Stamp: Born Yesterday Project Bin

Paper: Stampin' Up

Hello Spring

Good afternoon!

My sincere apologies to my team and Kelly.

I scheduled this post by accident for next week...Yikes...what was I thinking?

I want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter.

Over at Creative Knockouts we have an amazing

challenge for you this week and like always it is sponsored.

Challenge #239 - Outside Fun

Thank you to our sponsor 

Prize: 3 Images

I simply adore their images and had a blast coloring up

Spring Swing

It was fun to break out my copic markers and two different dies sets from 

Gina Marie Designs. The paper is from Stampin' Up and Taylored Expressions.

I used a dauber around the edges of the ovals to add color for

a little pop, thanks to the advice of a friend.

Please come and join us this week

for our fun filled challenge at Creative Knockouts,

we would love to see your work.

Have an amazing day and thanks for sharing this card with me.

Happy Easter

Good morning! 

What a wonderful weekend we had.

We sure were blessed while walking in a park

this weekend with a friend to enjoy nature

and see an amazing sign of spring.

Lots of geese where swimming in the cold river

and they were even standing on the snow and ice still.

Love this sign of spring.

Today, is my day to post a card for The Project Bin

The stamp set used is

Spring Zen

I chose to use the cross as it is just about Easter

It is so much fun that their are three stamp sets that you can color.

On the cross, I used Copic Markers

and added only a bit of color to high light it.

It was a blast to get inky with the vellum from Stampin' Up.

Spray adhesive is what I will be looking for to stick it down next time.

To add color to it, I covered the panels with ink and then whipped off

the excess.

My work in progress is to find a way to take a good picture

with lighting in my new craft area which is dark corner.

Would love to get to the real color as possible for you.

My card layout is from

A clean and simple design using just pattern vellum paper and Concord grape paper

with pearls.

Please hop over to The Project Bin blog to see even more 

inspiration from my team mate Kelly

and the rest of our team each day of the week.

Have an amazing day

may it be one filled with tons of little blessings.

Thank you so much for joining me today

You're The Mom...

The weekend was full of volleyball

it has some highs and lows but in the end was successful.

My latest creation is 

from our brand new stamp set

Deer Mom

 

Each one of the sentiments are so amazing. I just simply

and many other occasions too.

While making this card the items used 

were Deer Mom Stamp set, Gina Marie Stitched/scalloped oval dies,

Cuttlebug embossing folder, Stampin' Up paper (solid colors)

Happy Monday morning!

It is The Project Bin Monday

and here is my latest creation for you to see!

I was asked to create a very clean and simple card 

in these colors and papers. They picked out the stamp set

Born Yesterday!

So, I pulled out my markers

and colored up the stamp in Real Red and Basic Black. 

Then I used a Huffing Technique before stamping it down.

It has been so long since, I used this technique.

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

Crafting With Friends - Challenge #62 - Anything Goes

Creative Fingers Challenge - Challenge #143 - Anything Goes

Spring brings beautiful things

Good Monday morning!

We had quite the snowy weekend 

but the end result is simply stunning outside.

Although the snow is beautiful,

we are looking forward to spring time at some point.

Today, is The Project Bin Monday, it is my

day to share a brand new creation with you.

The Egg stamp and sentiment are from our 

brand new set called Spring Zen. The egg was colored using Prisma

pencils and highlighted with Wink of Stella. 

 The dies are from Gina Marie Designs.

 It was a blast to get my sponges out

and ink up the paper, all with Stampin' Up inks (barely banana,

 daffodil delight, cajun craze, peach parfait, lucky limeade).

Pearls and diamensionals

Denise has designed another fantastic stamp set.

You can color the images, keep them black and white

with or without these simply fabby sentiments.

The inspiration is simply endless with this set.
