Hello Stampin' Buddies!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, it has been quite a while, but that does not mean that I have not been busy! Quite the opposite as a matter of fact.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And I am here to showcase my latest project with you. I CASED (copied and shared) this wonderful collage from a photo that I saved a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I cannot give proper credit to the designer of this beautiful project as there is no water mark present. So please let me know if by chance this person does see this, or one of you knows them, I would very much like to honor them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This beautiful manly bundle can be purchased from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog...it is The Geared Up Garage suite. I just love all of the wonderful ideas that everyone has come up with when I do my research on Pinterest, Splitcoaststampers and Stampin Connection.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Being that my two wonderful sons celebrate their respective birthdays a mere six weeks apart, I decided to make two of these collages for each of them. They enjoy their cars! I do hope that they like them as much as I have enjoyed making this for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Til next time...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Stampin' Blessings...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Hi Stampin' Friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Had a wonderful class at my home yesterday and we made this pretty card! I cased it from Beth Queen. I received her card in a swap and it just stood out amongst the 200+ swaps that I received!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love Bling! Don't you? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, it has been a pretty exciting last few weeks in my life...initially being on vacation with my hubby in Orlando and then continuing on to the Stampin' Up! Onstage event.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And...now...just like that! We are looking to Thanksgiving this coming week!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope that you, your family, friends and loved ones enjoy a most Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving Holiday filled with fun, good food and enjoyment...as I surely know that I will.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stampin' Blessings to All!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh My Goodness!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Is all I can say after having spent 11 wonderful days in beautiful Orlando, Florida!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first 5 were spent with my dear hubby visiting Disney Parks: Epcot, Disney Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and finally SeaWorld. We so very thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Epcot had the Food and Wine Festival and we also dined at the French Restaurant there...food was fantastic!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We stayed at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort and were treated like Royalty! I truly felt like a Princess!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then hubby returned home and I switched hotels to the Rosen Center which is connected to the Orange County Convention Center.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Again...I joined my Stampin' Up! demonstrator groupies, all 6-7,000 of them to Celebrate our company's 30th Birthday!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dined with dear friends all over the country and world! I had a wonderful roommate and met with different groups of ladies dining, dancing and thoroughly enjoying ourselves!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, I am home now with my dear hubby and fur girls and I am so jazzed about all of the up and coming stunning Stampin' Up! product that is in store for the New Year!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know, here it is...Thanksgiving in a mere few weeks and then my favorite Holiday...Christmas!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well...I am setting my Stampin' Up! Goals high in the coming year and I want you ALL to be a part of it!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Maui Incentive Trip is coming up in 2020 and I really want to earn it...with your help of course!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let's make this happen!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The card above is my General Swap that I created to share with my fellow demonstrators during our OnStage Event and everyone Loved it...which made me very happy too!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So...until next time....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Stampin' Blessings,</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hi there my pretty inkers!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope you enjoy today's share! I absolutely Love dragonflies! So I thought to make a little framed piece of inky stamped artwork. It took about an hour to pull together! Made especially easy with my beautiful Stampin' Up! Detailed Dragonfly Thinlet dies from our Annual Catalog.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Summer is well half over already...I am so looking forward to some cooler temperatures especially here in beautiful sunny Phoenix Arizona.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This November is especially exciting as I am planning to attend the Stampin' Up! 30 Year Anniversary OnStage Convention Event in beautiful Orlando, Florida. My handsome hubby and I are going earlier to visit Epcot and Disneyland! I am sooooo very excited!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well that is all for now...stay tuned though...as I have a few of the All New Up and Coming Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogs in my possession and will be happy to hand them out to those of you that attend my next Stampin' Time! Class which is scheduled to take place Saturday, August 18th...10 AM to 12 Noon at my home! Hope to see you then! Or if you just happen to be in my neighborhood, let me know and I can get one just as easily into your hands :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And...oopps...I do have some product that you can preview from the Holiday Catalog just in case you might be interested in beginning to make your Holiday cards...we all know how quickly these occasions just creep up on us and then! They are HERE!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Stampin' !</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Spring! Time to plant flowers, clean the house, re-arrange some furniture, get the fur girls a little trim and spa time, and me too, of course!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well...this pretty Hostess stamp set is retiring with the debut of the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog this June for customers. If you would like to receive this little lovely, you will need to purchase a minimum of $150.00 in Stampin' Up! product from me, before tax and shipping/handling and it could be yours! If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me, I am more than happy to help you with your creative pursuits.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will be very sad to see some of my favorite stamps sets leaving, but, then again, there is all NEW, exciting, innovative product to make its' way into my little hands in the near future...tee tee!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tonight I am attending a demonstrator meeting with a lovely group of ladies and we were asked to create a swap utilizing retiring stamps, so I thought I would take this and do something with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stamp Set: Tranquil Tulips (Hostess)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Card Stock: sweet sugarplum, smokey slate, whisper white</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ink: pear pizazz, sweet sugarplum, basic black archival</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Misc: smokey slate gingham ribbon, silver sequins, clear Wink of Stella, dimensionals</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well...there you have it for today! Hope you are enjoying Springtime wherever you are. Here in sunny Phoenix, AZ it is perfect weather currently, although we do know what is coming...then it will be time for me to be going...LOL!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just had to get one post in before the end of the month. Wow! You think that Christmas was busy...well let me tell you...this gal has been stampin', creatin' and going here and there all the while since!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is great to be in such good spirits actually and I must admit it is easy when the weather is just fabulous here in sunny Phoenix, Arizona during the winter months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well...please allow me to share how the above banner came into being. My upline, Lorri Heilling holds Stampin' Up! events throughout the year for her downline (me) and other demonstrators.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The theme was Picnic and I volunteered to make a banner for the occasion! I used our oh so cute stamp set entitled Picnic with You and coordinating designer paper which can be found in the All New Occasions Catalog currently. And, by the way, for each $50 you spend, you receive a FREE item from the fantastic Sale-A-Bration Catalog!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This coming Saturday, February 3rd, I will be holding a card making class in my home from 10 AM to 12 NOON. If you would like to attend, please email me and I will send you an invitation!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, it is time for me to get busy now and work out a few designs that I am sure will tickle the fancy of my class attendees in class!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope that you are all stamping happily today! Meanwhile here at Pretty Inky Studio we aim to be Inking Pretty things to share, inspire and send to others to bring Joy into their lives~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy Stampin'!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Christmas is my favorite time of the year! A fellow demo friend of mine created a collage that I absolutely Loved...Gina Shappa. And I thought to myself...hmmm...I have all of the supplies to make one on my own and therefore I did just that. It began with the piece in the lower left corner...I already had that as a card and was inspired by her creation to make the other four additions come to life.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, how are you doing thus far with all of your Christmas and Holiday preparations? Things here at the Rodenberg residence are coming along quite smoothly so far. Decorating is almost complete, cards are ready to go out in the mail, house is in order and just needs a little more dusting and cleaning in the next few weeks in anticipation of our Christmas Day Dinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not sure what the hubby has planned for the big day, menu wise. Although I am quite confident that is will all be delicious and splendid. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That is all for now fellow stampers, paper craft enthusiasts, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and hope that you are all healthy, happy and Santa brings you your heart's desire!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

This little pretty was inspired by a fellow demonstrator Barbara Gonzales! I Love how sparkly this card is! The Stampin' Up! Winter Wonder snowflake embossing folder was tucked up way in the upper left corner and then brushed over with Wink of Stella clear pen. We have some pretty gold doilies, gold sequins and such pretty ribbon!</div>

Happy Wednesday!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Today's share are some roomie gifts that I shared with my roommate Ellen while at the Stampin Up OnStage Event in Salt Lake City last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This Daisy Delight stamp set is so very pretty and versatile and I adore the Delightful Daisy designer paper that coordinates with it too. Ok...so I love flowers...well...you know why? I live in Phoenix, AZ, the Desert Southwest and flowers. well...although the desert can be quite beautiful at times, well I have tried to no avail to grow flowers and have not succeeded, and so I turn to my beautiful Stampin Up sets with flowers galore!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Calendars are a weakness of mine, I must admit. Everywhere I look in my craft studio, I can see a calendar...LOL! Anyone else share my fetish? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And if you are reading this far down my post, please leave a comment and I will choose someone to send a lovely hand crafted Stampin Up card to! I will contact you privately when you have been chosen to gather your mailing information.</div>

Thank you for visiting my blog today.</div>

What a whirlwind the past few weeks have been! All wonderfully Good! My brother-in-law and his wife stayed with us for a few days and it felt as if my dear husband and I were on vacation with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We ran around a bit and enjoyed their company very much! One evening we listened to some oldies but goodies music and songs which brought back a flood of memories for all of us!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Meanwhile, I was getting ready for Stampin Up OnStage. It had been three or four years since I attended a Live event and I was so very excited to go this time. I was working on swaps for a few weeks prior and so thoroughly enjoyed the little mermaid card that I created for an event that is hosted by my up-up line Barbara Welch. It was entitled "Swap in Your PJ's" ! Each of us were required to make 36 card fronts and you would not believe all of the pretty cards that I received in return. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stamps: Magical Mermaid</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Tempting Turquoise, Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Memento Black</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo, Shimmery White, Copper, Basic Black</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Misc: Basic Pearls, Copper Trim Ribbon, Ruffled Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well...there you have today's share! Stay tuned because I have lots of fun things that I received at </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
OnStage and I am planning on attending another OnStage Event this coming April 2018 in</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada! If you are interested, I would be more than happy to share how you too may join in the festivities and fun with me and about 2,000 of my favorite Stampin Up friends!!!</div>

Happy Saturday Stampin' Buddies!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lately I have been wondering how these types of cards were made...I had seen quite a few on Pinterest and several other card making blogs, etc. I thought it might be terribly complicated.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not really! I did a little research and found out that this is called The Retiform Technique. I watched a you tube video a few times and then tried it on my own!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What do you think? It is not a new technique, but with newer stamps and inks, I just LOVE how these turned out! I used one of my favorite in-colors Flirty Flamingo and Pink Pirouette for the shading. I had a few friends over yesterday and we got pretty inky playing and trying differing ways to arrange the elements!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Would you like to get Pretty Inky with some ladies? I am having a class on Saturday, August 19th at my home here in Phoenix, AZ. Send me an email and I will send you an invitation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well...have to go and get ready for this afternoon's adventure takes me Wine Tasting to a new venue with a fellow wine buddy! You see, I have buddies from different walks of Life...isn't that wonderful! I always believe that one can never have too many friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Stampin'!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
How many of my fellow paper crafting, rubber stamping buddies begin Christmas preparations this early? Me! Me! Me!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
LOL! A little group of us gals enjoy getting together almost every week and we each take turns to come up with a project to work on at our gatherings.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This absolutely Beautiful wreath was designed by Dreaming Tree and my dear friends...Liz and Debbie joyously cut on their Cricut to create this project!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My contribution is the background gold foil designer paper and the various little gold bling dots and of course, one of my favorite embellishments, the Fleur de Lis.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hmmm...now that I am eagerly awaiting my Stampin' Up! pre-order from the All New and up-coming, spectacular Holiday Catalog, which goes live for everyone on September 1st...not patiently, mind you...here I am a tap-tap-tapping on my keyboard...oops! I just saw the mail truck go by...later y'all!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Stampin'!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Time for a baby shower card! I am so pleased as to how this card turned out! My sweet manicurist is expecting a baby boy in the month of September. When I visited her for my last appointment, I asked if she was registered with any of the local baby stores and she happily invited me to her baby shower!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It has been too many years since I attended a baby shower. I am thinking that it was probably my daughter-in-laws when she was expecting my twin granddaughters, about nine years ago! Wow!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, it was so much fun looking at baby items. Things sure have changed and evolved over the years. The theme is elephants, as you might have guessed. I found a cute little toy to add to the gift, an elephant pull toy of some sort :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And so yesterday, I sat down and came up the the card above. I printed out the little elephant and went with some happy, vibrant colors. And I thought, wouldn't it be nice to add balloons. And just by coincidence, I punched out five of them and then I thought his name will be Isaac and that is five letters, so I pulled out some silver letter stickers...and there you have it!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is always a good day to stamp here in Phoenix...so I hope you enjoyed today's little share.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Stampin"!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
It is never an easy endeavor to create a sympathy card, especially when it is for a very good friend.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Her mom passed away over the weekend and both my dear husband and I are sending our sincere condolences.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And so I came up with this design especially for her, she likes turquoise, so I do hope that this brings a little comfort to her and her family at this sad time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Enjoy your Loved Ones...keep them close...because one day when you least expect...they will be gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Blessings on this Sunday,</div>

Today's pretty comes to you, which was totally inspired by Gail Davidson...thank you Gail! I case'd (copy and shared) this little piece of art work because lately I am in the mood to play with watercoloring!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What do you think? I am having a class this Saturday, July 8th at my home and am deciding if I will include this in the card making lineup. It was not too difficult at all really. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
OMG!!! Now I have to make another one! Hmmm...I usually make at least two cards when I am stamping and one I tend to send out to someone :) Who might that be?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well...this morning is already starting off bright and beautiful! Have a few errands to run today...better get going...it is going to be a HOT one here in sunny Phoenix...I think they said 116 degrees? Oh, well...I don't count the degrees anymore...anything over 105 is pretty HOT!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope you have a great day...wherever you are...whatever you're doing and take some time to play!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Happy Stampin'!</div>

Last night I attended my monthly Stampin' Up! meeting with my weStamp group and swapped this little pretty. I cased it from Maria Willis...such a talented demonstrator...thank you Maria!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In this crafty endeavor, I did some watercoloring using melon mambo re-inker to paint on the background using an aqua painter. I originally tried to achieve this using glossy card stock, but was not happy with those results, but I do LOVE the way this turned out!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stamps: Dragonfly Dreams, Climbing Orchid (sentiment)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ink: Memento Black, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Paper: Water color, whisper white, soft sky, tempting turquoise,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Misc: Dazzling Diamonds, Metallic Foil Doilies, Silver Metallic Thread, Aqua Painter</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, there you have it!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Am planning on attending the Onstage Stampin' Up! Event in Salt Lake City, UT this coming November, are you?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Til next time...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Oh my goodness! Talk about fun creating! I am in Love with the new Stampin' Up! Daisy Delight stamp set and coordinating punch.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sadly though it is currently unorderable as demand has far exceeded predictions regarding its' popularity! But I was lucky enough to get it early on my pre-order as a demonstrator.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It will most likely be available towards the end of July. If anyone is interested I will definitely keep you updated as to its' availability.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stamps: Daisy Delight</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ink: Versamark</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Paper: Powder Pink, Soft Sky, Pear Pizazz</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Misc: Clear Faceted Gems, Daisy punch, 3/4" circle punch (on bottom of flower), wire to create the stems for the flowers, hot glue to adhere the daisies to the stems</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well...tomorrow is going to be GREAT! I am so excited to be hosting some of my favorite stamping buddies in my home for Class.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Have a GREAT weekend!</div>

Yesterday I embarked on a new leg of my journey and this card signifies what I was reminded of while enjoying Tai Chi in the park. I had taken a class quite a few years ago at The Paradise Valley Community College, so when I was in the midst of my practice, it all came flooding back to me.</div>

Hi Friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
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!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, I must get back to celebrating...there is so much to do today...all FUN related!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Today I bring you a project that I have been working on with a few of my crafty paper pals these past few weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
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!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, to satisfy that need, I happily make flowers out of paper!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And, there you have it for today!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Stamping!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
