Happy Friday Everybody!!
Two days of sun!! I can hardly stand it. The trees have tiny leaves on them, my flowers are up high, and there are dandelions in the yard!!! I have had lots of different things going on since my last post. I had so much fun making cards at Ronda Wade's Summer Mini PJ Event. And no, it ended up I couldn't wear my pajamas because I had to stop at the store on the way there. I was a half-hour late, making poor Ronda worry sick as I am always the first one to arrive (I thought it started at 6:30, but it was 6 p.m.). So she helped me catch up. We made baggie books again, featuring 4 new stamps and product from the Stampin' Up Summer Mini Catalog. We ended up with 20 beautiful cards that I will be CASEing many times over for sure. Then to top my night off, I got lost twice on the way home (mind you, I only had about 10 miles to drive at the max). It wasn't so bad because I expected it would happen when I saw I couldn't go back the same way, as the road was closed. I have taken different routes many times, but for some reason it felt and looked entirely different at 10:30 p.m. (in pitch black darkness). So I just kept driving around in circles until I found my way. I never get upset or freaked out when I get lost because it happens all the time and I have a compass in my SUV (didn't take my GPS of course).
Today I want to show you my Mother's Day card I made yesterday using the new Flower Fest Stamp Set in the Summer Mini. My mom passed away 5 years ago, but I honor her by making cards for my daughter's instead as they are mother's and need kudos also. I didn't think I would like this stamp set as it is so different from what I typically buy. However, I can't resist stamp images that you can use with our punches. I ended up loving the card, what do you think:
I hope all of you have a beautiful Mother's Day, even if you are not a mother, I'm sure you have served as a fill-in mother (which is even better yet). Personally I think everyday should be Mother's Day, but then it probably wouldn't be as special if we celebrated every day. Thanks for stopping by.
Until next time,
Sandi

Love the bright colors in the Message from Mom ... and the Cottage Wall is one of my all time fav DSP - I was excited when they made it into My Digital Studio - cause now i can use it again as 'hybrid' class projects!!!
ReplyDeleteI also love the Cottage Wall card. It was a favorite DSP of mine and I didn't know that I could get it in MDS. I've got to get busy and look through the downloads. I don't have much loaded yet. See you Tues. night? I've got my swap cards all done. Trying to find something for the show and tell table.
ReplyDeleteI love your MOM card, it is so not your vintage style. The Cottage Wall DP done the way you presented could be a little bit vintage. Love the colors. I don't think I even used my Cottage Wall yet. TFS
