Thinking of You

 
My friend Kelly had been inviting me to stamp at her home throughout the months we were remodeling our house. And I had to keep telling her no. So I finally got to go stamping and she had the paper and some goodies set out at my station to welcome me in her home. It is such a bright and pretty paper it wasn't hard to make a card with it.
  Butterflys just say it all. They give us hope that spring is coming along with warmer weather. I love the soft colors along with a pop of bright colors. Of course I had to add some bling. The label was made with a stamp set from My Minds Eye I purchased at Make Time To Create {sniff, sniff.} We miss you Dolly and Mary. I also used a EK Success Punch along the bottom of the butterfly paper. I love the border punches. They are so easy to use and add so much to your card or project. Well hope to see you all soon. Let's get stamping.

Just Be You


   Hello fellow crafters. Longtime, no time.  We finally got moved in News Years Eve. Thank You to everyone who helped. Two months living with some special friends from church. Working every weekend and Greg working when he had the time or energy after work remodeling the house I grew up in Boonville.  It turned out awesome. We gutted it and put our personality on an old farmhouse. Hmmm, so nice to be home. My mom and dad live just up the road from us and my brother, sister, and two nieces live within a couple of miles. We had Christmas at our home last Saturday. What a blessing. Pictures of before and after are coming.
  Now to get on with the card. I made this card at my friend Kelly's home. She has really got her stamp room all together. Wow. It was awesome. This card has Lost and Found paper from the Sunshine 6 x 6 pad. Lots of pretty paper. I am getting hooked on the pads. All the paper coordinates and as I told Kelly you can just bust the cards out. Hee, Hee. I used a die (the pendants)  I purchased at Make to Time to Create. So cute. I put rhinestones on the pendants also to bling it up. I used a spellbinder die for the bird piece and use the stickles fine glitter I got from MTTC. I love that glitter.
It really makes the pictures pretty as you can see below. I got the little flower from my friend Melody and dolled it up with a rhinestone. Ahhh, so good to get back to creating.
