Happy 18th Birthday Meghan

On Tuesday, the sweet young lady that we have grown so close to at our favorite pizza place, Venezia's on Tatum, will be turning 18.  So of course I had to make her a special card. 

I pulled out the Beautiful You set - which is perfect as she's going to a Military Ball soon and I thought a card with a dancing happy girl was perfect!

Inside I used the sentiment from Beautiful Friendship and then added the "18th" using Make a Difference stamp set.

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Monday!

Beautiful You - Mirrored Again

No new project today... I've done something to one of my fingers and it even hurts to type!

That has to improve because we have a workshop this weekend and I have projects to prepare.

Since there is no new project, I thought I'd bring back an old one, but one you can still do since this set is still available!  Yayyy!

All the details can be found HERE from when I originally posted it.

This was easy with beautiful results!

Thank you for looking in today!

Happy Tuesday!

Live, Laugh, Love

Today we send off one of our employees to a new adventure!  She's been a bright spot in the office for the last year and I'm sad to see her go, but I wish her all the luck in her new job and beyond.

When looking through my stamps to make this card, this one jumped out at me as it reminds me of her.

Recipe: 
Crumb Cake - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Picture Perfect Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4" x 4"
Daffodil Delight - 4 3/4" x 2"
Very Vanilla (should have been whisper white, but I changed DSP's after I made it!) largest circle from Stitched Shapes.

I stamped her twice, once on Daffodil Delight to cut out the dress, hair and hat and then again on Very Vanilla.  After it was dry, I ran it through the Big Shot and the Stitched Circle.

Thank you for looking in today.  I'm so happy it's finally Friday!

Congratulations Well Deserved

On Sunday I ended up CASEing myself.  Now that's something that probably doesn't happen often.  LOL  It's been very windy here and I woke up with a headache, so thinking wasn't working well and I knew I wanted to do a card with Floral Boutique and and a little box with the Window Box Thinlits Dies.  I'm so happy this little box is carrying over to the Annual Catalog.  If you like it and the stamps it goes with, the bundle is NOT carrying over, so be sure to order it before May 31st so you can save 10% on it.

Today's card is for a special accomplishment of someone I know.  However, since they peek into my blog, I don't want to reveal too much today... so come back tomorrow for a full reveal!

For today though, I can give you the Recipe:

Night of Navy - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper white 5 1/4" x 4"
Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper - 5" x 3 3/4"

I stamped from Beautiful You onto another sheet of Floral Boutique DSP and then fussy cut the dress hair and hat and then pieced it onto the same image stamped with Memento Black onto Whisper White.  Then I used the largest circle from Stitched Shapes and the largest scallop from Layering Circles in Night of Navy.

This is another stamp set that is carrying over to the next Annual Catalog (which I will be able to order from on May 1st!  You could too if you sign up to be a Demonstrator.).  The "Congratulations" comes from Floral Phrases.

Here is the box from the top view. I added Silver Foil inside each of the cut-outs to keep the inside a little more of a surprise.  Since taking the picture below, I've added a piece of ribbon to hold the box closed since it has to make it all the way through the day tomorrow.

If you've ever used liquid glue to attach the Silver Foil, you probably know that it has a tendency to make a mess on the foil, should any of it ooze out.  So I decided to avoid that and I used scotch tape to attach the foil. I wanted it to stay permanently, but just didn't want the mess of glue.

Do you see a little boo-boo I made and fixed?  Let me know by posting below if you figure it out.  I'll share it tomorrow with you!

Thank you for looking in today.  Here's to another week of fun and adventure!

Happy Monday!
