Birthday Memories

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a non paper crafting related post...yesterday I filled my Hummingbird feeder with fresh sugar water and I happened to look out my kitchen window this morning and noticed that I had a visitor.

How cool is that! I hope to see many more visitors stop by for a little nourishment as they continue on their journey or perhaps they will stay a while!

Well, I must get back to celebrating...there is so much to do today...all FUN related!

Happy Friday to my fellow paper enthusiasts!

Earlier this week, I received a box of awesome goodies, my Stampin' Up! pre-order and could not wait to use this oh so cute stamp set to make a card with a French blue door!

Those of you that know me, I love French Country...it speaks to my soul. Little by little, I am bringing this style into my home. Maybe I will get to paint my front door a French blue color...that would make me so happy!

Anyway, for those of you whom are not demonstrators, this beautiful stamp set entitled At Home with You will be for sale beginning June 2nd from our NEW Stampin' Up! 2017-2018 Annual Catalog. So get your Wish List out and add this one to it.

Stamps: At Home with You

Ink: Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Memento Black, several markers to color in the wreath and flower pots...that was so relaxing.

Paper: Whisper White, Shimmery White (excellent for watercoloring), NEW Wood Textures DSP

Misc: Brick Wall embossing folder, linen thread, dimensionals, paper snips

Stay tuned for another adventure sure to come your way...can not say for sure when, but with all of my new toys...I have to play with them!

Happy Mother's Day!

Today I bring you a project that I have been working on with a few of my crafty paper pals these past few weeks.

This is from SVG Cuts and my dear friend Liz initiated this and she did all of the cutting and prep work beforehand. The willing paper participants, including moi, eagerly watched a tutorial together to make this beautiful piece come to life!

As many of you already know, I just LOVE flowers!!! And being that we live in the desert, do not get me wrong, I know there are beautiful desert flowers here too, but, being from back East, there is nothing that can compare to the flowers grown there from Springtime throughout the Summer months.

So, to satisfy that need, I happily make flowers out of paper!

And, there you have it for today!

Happy Stamping!

Happy May Day! 

That probably has multiple meanings but the symbolism I ascribe to this, the first day of the Lovely Month of May, is from when I was a wee lass...way back to second grade when I attended Catholic school and danced around the Maypole and wore a pretty dress that my beloved mom created for me! And with a crown of flowers set upon my head!

So...to celebrate, I enjoy making things with flowers of all kinds, centerpieces, wreaths, shadow boxes and most of all...cards!

Enjoy!
