Cottage Floral

I've decided I really love this stamp set, Cottage Floral. I tried to resist it, I really did. I was NOT going to order another flower set, but after seeing what so many people have done with it...well, I just had to do it!

This card uses B&T from the Boom Di Ada scrapbooking kit, and Olive, Barn Red, and Autumn Terracotta inks. There is also a clear button tied with waxy flax attached with a glue dot to the center of the flower.

Hope you enjoy!

Summertime

This is a card that was inspired by a fellow consultant. I loved the idea so much, I had to make one - and actually I made it last summer.

Sweet, simple, and pretty!

Footprints and Roses

This 6x6 layout is perfect for memories from the beach.

The stamps used are a newer CTMH set called Footprints. I love the shells in this set - there are several different sizes and designs for your seashore inspired projects!

I used Bamboo and Desert Sand inks to stamp the shells on Bamboo cardstock. The saying, "Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone." is stamped in
Outdoor Denim ink.

The photo mats are cut from Outdoor Denim cardstock and bordered with Cranberry Grosgrain ribbon. The B&T paper comes from the Majestic Blue paper pack.

Today is my (our) Anniversary - 19 years of marriage. These are the roses my husband sent me today - pretty, huh?


More artwork tomorrow!!

Got home from Montana a long time ago.....

....and I've been busy getting VBS going at work. We are doing it differently this year so that instead of one full week, we're meeting once a week on Wednesday nights for 5 weeks. It's great because I have lots of time in between each night to set up, etc....but it's long, too.

I have lots of cards to photo and upload to share, and I'll get on that tomorrow. So.....to keep me accountable, check back tomorrow for a card project.

Hope everyone is well and stamping happy!

Going to Montana

Well, I'm just not very good at keeping up my blog, am I? I have such good intentions and then the day slips away and becomes a week, or two weeks.... I have lots of cards to get photographed to share, but just haven't had a chance to do it. School is out now, and things are finally slowing down just a little tiny bit.

BUT, I'm leaving tomorrow morning with a group of high school students from our church to go on a Mission Trip. We will be helping to paint houses and run a Kids Club with at a Youth Works site. It's an exciting opportunity and so I've been spending time getting ready for that, too.

So, I hope you have a great week of stamping and I'll get some new work posted after I get back from our trip.

Memorial Day prayer

Please, remember to lift up all our military personnel in prayer today. Their courage and sacrifice are what keeps our country free! Remember also, their families and friends who support them.

Friendship Postage

Just a quick post today. This card uses the Stamp of the Month set offered by CTMH last month - Express Postage. It's a fun set! For this card I used the Caprice paper pack, Crystal Blue cardstock, Colonial White cardstock, Chocolate and Honey ink, Chocolate grosgrain ribbon, a giant scallop circle punch and a small Chocolate paper flower.

All supplies, except the punch, are from Close To My Heart.
