College Man..

Hi there! I have a card today that I just loved creating. This week's Wee Memories challenge called for us to make a masculine card. I decided to go with a "college acceptance" congrats card. 

Here is my card:

I just love the Basic Grey "Oxford" paper pack because it has so many different masculine themed papers like this one with all of the books. And yes, I know it's a tad late to be getting an acceptance letter to college, but just go with it...lol


Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Sunday!

Blowing Kisses..

Hi there! On Monday, Ava is leaving home overnight for the first time. Well, first time for more than one night AND out of state. She's going to Centri-Kid with some others from church and will be gone all of next week. Eek. They actually are supposed to come back Friday, but since Harry Potter comes out Thursday at midnight, i'm going to ride up to Kentucky Thursday evening with a friend and get her. Is that crazy? Leaving church camp to go see a movie about Wizards? Eh, maybe so, but welcome to our world. We're total Harry Potter nerds...lol. :)


While they are at Centri-Kid, they can receive mail so I thought I would create a few cards of encouragement to send her. She's not exactly excited about going because of her Eczema and the way her skin behaves. The thought of putting on/taking her meds and being around kids and outdoors makes her anxious (and mommy,too!!), but I know she can do it. I mean, come on, she's at Church camp. I figure God will help guide her through it and give her a peace about it. If He can't, no one can! 


Anyway (wow, i'm talkative today!), here is one of the cards I am sending her. I used the current Wee Memories challenge which was to create something that reflected summertime. 

Nothing is more summer than pinwheels, right? Well, that and lemonade or homeade ice cream..yum! 

The paper is from the MME "Life of The Party" collection and it's full of sugary sweet goodness. Just love those papers.

Tanks for stopping in! Be sure and stop over at the Wee Memories challenge and play along. You have 2 weeks to play!

Birthday Boy!

Hello. Thanks for stopping in to visit! Today I have a card that I made for my little cousin, Luke. He turned 4 yesterday and had a fun little party that we attended for a while. With Ava being so ill, it's hard to get out anywhere for any length of time. I know I sound like a broken record, but if you guys could keep her in your prayers I would appreciate it. It's hard dealing with this unknown issue but it's made more difficult because hubby is deployed. I told a friend yesterday that if it wasn't for crafting, I'd be in a closet somewhere...really.


Anyhow, enough of the heavy. Here is the card I made for Luke:

I just love the bright colors for a little boy. Making this card also made me realize that I have absolutely no real "boy" type stamps..at least not for little boys. I need to at least have a train set or something! :)

This card fits in perfectly with the current Wee Memories challenge which was to make something party themed! Head over and check it out!

Hope you guys like it. Have a great day!

Wee Chevron Challenge..

Happy Sunday everyone! Don't you just love long weekends? This one has gone by nice and slowly for me and I have really done nothing but stamp. Love it! :)


Today, I have another card for the Moxie Fab Chevron Chic challenge, but I am also entering it into this week Wee Memories Challenge.

 The challenge is to be inspired by something from Etsy or Pinterest. Well, I love love love Pinterest and had lots of things on my boards to be inspired by, but once I saw this chair I knew I could knock out two challenges at once and, BONUS!, I loved the chair. 


So, here is the Pinterest inspiration piece:

Awesome, right? So, here is the card I created from that:

Hope you continue to enjoy your weekend. Thanks for stopping by! Laters..
