Today's card was inspired by Stampin Up's Paper Pumpkin add for July. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the July kit will look like. Here is our sneak peak for the theme. In the meantime, this is my version of that Paper Pumpkin ad. My card uses the Vintage Bottle Shaker dome. And I've added a rolled up message inside the dome. The message is tied with our linen thread. I don't know if the Paper Pumpkin kit will include the … [Read more...] about Message In A Bottle

One Last Butterfly
I've got one last project for you using the Butterfly Kisses Suite. I saw an idea online using one of the wing dies from the suite to make some hearts on a card. I thought it was a pretty clever idea. I die cut nine of the wings out of our watercolor paper. Then I water colored each one in each of the nine colors I picked out. I love the rainbow look. It's so colorful and happy. These are the nine colors I used. I love stretching … [Read more...] about One Last Butterfly
A Really Different Look
Last week, I shared some bright butterflies. One question I got was, do I need this Suite if I'm not into the bold colors? Well, I'll leave that decision up to you... but here's a much softer option using the same Butterfly Kisses Suite. Oh my goodness, the soft purple and yellow is just so pretty together. This gives a really different look to the stamp set. The pattern paper is from the same pack as the bold stripes. I love that the pack … [Read more...] about A Really Different Look
So Glad…
It's Friday! I'm back today with some of the bright funky butterflies in the Butterfly Kisses Suite. The pattern paper is so bright and fun that I wanted to use bright colors for my butterflies as well. The butterfly stamps are unique in that they are all separate stamps. There are a selection of top wing pieces and bottom wing pieces. And then the body is a separate piece as well. This makes it so much easier for stamping having everything … [Read more...] about So Glad…

Another School Year is Done!
As a mom, there is such a feeling of relief when another school year ends. Even though mine are in college, it's still a sense of relief when you know they are now on a break. My son graduated from college in April - YAY! My daughter just finished up last week and we moved her home this weekend. When the kids were in elementary school, I used to surprise them with a little something to celebrate them finishing another school year. It was … [Read more...] about Another School Year is Done!
Alexa Says Its Time For Happy Hour
I'm so lucky that one of my closest friends, Lyndi, lives across the street from me. Well, her Alexa is pretty smart. Without fail, her Alexa will announce it's time for happy hour at 5:00 on Fridays and will start playing music to celebrate the end of the work week. I love smart technology! We tend to get together for a lot of happy hour Fridays. We'll usually have a charcuterie board, sometimes small, sometimes extravagant. And there is … [Read more...] about Alexa Says Its Time For Happy Hour
Thank You
Happy Friday! I'm back today with more Tea Boutique Suite. I love our Kraft colored boxes with these gold dots. These boxes are perfect for a small treat or gift. These boxes ship flat in a package of eight. I think they'd be great as a thank you or party favor for a shower or a party. You could use them for teacher thank you gifts. In this picture, you can see the pretty scallop detail along the edge of the lid. These boxes are 3.5 x … [Read more...] about Thank You
