A Good Man Preview

Here is a preview of a great stamp set that will be coming out next week in Stampin Up's new catalog....A Good Man. Masculine cards can be difficult but when you have a great stamp set it sure does help!!  I will say...this is a great stamp set!!  Check it out in the new Stampin Up catalog that begins next week!!  My inspiration for this card was the sketch challenge from As You See It.

Above the Clouds

Here is a preview of another new stamp set (Above the Clouds) available next month from Stampin Up's new catalog!!  It can be bought in a bundle with a matching punch.  Yippie!!!  For today's card, I used the sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch as my inspiration.  

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) a gift at 8am, 12pm, and 8pm...first patient of the day comes in at 8:00--an opportunity to be a blessing//lunch time--I feel very fortunate that I can go home and enjoy lunch with my hubby//the close of the day--time to relax with a book!!

Sunflower Kindness

I just got Stampin Up's Painted Harvest stamp set...loving it!!  My daughter is getting married in September and her flowers/decorations will be sunflowers so I had to get this set and create some party favors.  Until I need to get started on those I am playing with it.  The Inspired By challenge this week was a perfect place to play with it.

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts in today's work...patient co-workers as I learn a new job//structure//uniform--I love not having to decide what to wear each day!!

Hope is the Anchor

A quick entry before we begin our work/holiday at my Mother-in-laws.

Happy Memorial Day!!

Here is my take on the sketch challenge from the  Paper Craft Crew challenge !  The color combo for this card was inspired by the color challenge from Sunday Stamps.  I’m using a new stamp set that will be coming out in Stampin Up’s new catalog this June!!  It is called Sailing home and it has matching dies!!  You know how I I’ve that!!  Be on the lookout!!


Excited about my "Top Cup" Honors!!

Cycling Froggy

The Fusion challenge this week was a playful, fun one!!  I couldn't find my hedgehog stamp (I know I have one somewhere) so I just pulled Stampin Up's foggy set off the shelf.  I feel like I can count using both parts of this challenge...I may not have had a hedgehog on a scooter but I'm thinking a froggy on wheels kinda works!!


3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts flat...Beach blanket, Beach towels, floor of our boat...can you tell what we are doing today!!  Yep...we are taking our boat to the beach with some friends!!  They say it could get close to 100 degrees today...suncreen will be my friend!!

Library Challenge #33

The current Library Challenge is Agatha Christie's book Death on the Nile.  This challenge picks a book and asks us to create a card using one of the following...the cover, the title, or the story.  I'm using the cover.  The only camels I had were these from one of Stampin Up's retired Christmas set.  It works, and it gets me another Christmas card for my stash.

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) gift in a pot, plate, package...Tortellini soup--yummy it is what is for dinner!! Christmas cookies--seemed fitting since I made a Christmas card today!!  My Stampin Up order of new catalog items that arrived yesterday--yippie!!


Update:  What an honor to be chosen as a Librarians Choice!!
