Cards

Today is my second day in warm Florida. I think I must have brought the rain…it has rainy off and on both days I have been here. Granted, it’s still warm and muggy, but it’s far from the 100+ degrees I was expecting. I’m glad that it wasn’t too terribly hot while we were setting up the booth- that would have been unbearable. Today we got to meet the sweet (and gorgeous) Ayana. She is a sweetheart and super talented! Be sure to stop by her blog. :)

For my card today I’m featuring another card using The Birds and The Bees. It’s been a while since I created a red/ coral card, so I thought I’d bring out those colors again. Very rarely do I create a card with someone in mind, but this was made for someone specific. My friends mom is a doll and this sentiment works for her so well. Hope she likes it!

Well, the internet at the hotel is super SLOOOOOOW. I’m going to close out before I get too terribly frustrated. Thanks for stopping by!

Good morning!

Today I’m bringing an elegant, more subdued, card. Gotta keep you on your toes, right? :) On the third Wednesday of each month, the DeNami Design blog features a specific stamp/ stamp set. This is a great way to see one stamp featured in LOTS of different ways. For the month of June we are featuring the beautiful Rosevine Heart.

I wanted to step away from the norm and made the heart more of a frame. Pretty neat, huh? I tend to be intimidated by large stamps, so I usually don’t use them. However, I think I should break them out some more! It was really fun to use this image. In fact, I have another card with this stamp….however you’ll have to wait a few weeks since it uses a new stamp. :) How’s that for a tease?!

Today is the last day before I leave for my trip. Heading out of work early so I can finish packing and also run some last minute errands. Can you believe that I have never traveled on a plane by myself? Yup, you read that right! I’m nearly 23 and I haven’t traveled alone. Guess there is a first time for everything!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Be sure to visit the DeNami blog and check out the other samples featuring this stamp! You’re sure to see lots of inspiration!

Hello blog friends!

Did you all have a good weekend? Mine was FILLED with fun- almost too much for one weekend! Babysat for the first time in 6+ years. I must admit, I was a wee bit nervous but it went perfectly. My friend has the cutest kids ever! We did some swinging, reading, playing and of course, eating! Super good times. When my schedule calms down (August!) I hope to do it again. I love kids and I also love blessing my friends. :)

Today I have a pretty card to share. This card was really inspired by Wendy– would have never thought to use the tree horizontally! I used one of my favorite sentiments Sending You Love for this one- have I said that it’s super versatile? ;) Below is a video on how to create the card from start-to-finish.

I hope your weekend is off to a great start. It was such a pleasant surprise to wake up to the gorgeous sunshine- can’t wait to go out and enjoy it! Today I’m planning on going to get a pedicure before my Florida trip. Oh goodness, my toes have been quite neglected recently. :( It will be so nice to relax and get my toes all pretty!

Today I have a super simple card to share. Can you believe there are ZERO layers? I used one sheet of cardstock and then die cut my shape so there was a window. Easy peasy! Now I don’t know if this is technically a one-layer card, but it’s about as close as I can do! You know how much I love layers…even though this card is simple, it was a stretch for me. :)

I hope you all have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Hello there!

Did this week go by super quickly for anyone else? I can’t believe it’s already Friday! It’s the start of my weekend which means housework + packing for my trip. I recently went shopping, so I think I’m set for summer clothes. (At least I hope so!) It’s been so long since I have endured 90 degree weather- hopefully my body can handle it! 6 days and counting….

At the beginning of the month Dawn released two new sets. Boy was I happy when I saw that I was the winner of the Background Builders: Hearts set. I know that hearts are normally thought of with Valentine’s Day, but let me tell you, it’s great all year round! I love all the different heart borders that are included in this set- so many choices! I paired this set up with some other fab WPlus9 sets. :)

Thanks for stopping by today, blog friends! Have a FANTABULOUS Friday!

Hello, sweet blog friends!

I know that I say this every Monday, but didn’t the weekend go by entirely too fast?! My weekend was packed with different activities. I got my haircut (pics coming soon!!), went to my sisters photo session (also got some cute pics taken), went to a birthday party, hit the gym for the first time in two weeks and of course, created lots more cards. What did YOU do?

Over the weekend I received my brand new Lawn Fawn alphabet set. This set is super cute and so easy to use! My favorite part: there are multiples of the letters!! I feel like I had been neglecting some of my non-DeNami stamps recently, so I decided to play for a bit. :) I used the versatile Design Basics: Background 1 set from WPlus9 for my background. This star design screams 4th of July to me. Can you believe this is the first patriotic card (that I have made) that I actually liked? I have tried once or twice before and failed miserably. Now I have no idea who I’m going to give this to…it was just fun to make. :)

This week is going to be C.R.A.Z.Y for me. I have work and sometime I need to go shopping for clothes before my trip to Florida next week. Oh yes, and a pedicure is a must also. Can’t go on a trip with non-pretty toes! I’m getting super excited about meeting my blog friends!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Have a fabulous rest of your day!
