5 Things I Like~

Five things I just really like TODAY are (in no particular order!):

1. The music of Natasha Bedingfield. I saw her on the Today Show some time ago and liked her voice and music then. I just listened to her albums on a flight to Fort Lauderdale and it reminded me I really like her music!

2. Being home. I do like to travel and get away for a few days but I am always glad to get home. There is no place like home! Today it is beautiful outside - 72 degrees right now! How different than last weekend in Miami - nearly 100 every day there!

3. Sitting here thinking about the good times I have had with my 3 sons! Finding time to be with them is so important but as the boys have gotten older, it is alot harder to do.

4. Pringles potatoe chips and M & M's! what a great combination, especially with a diet Coke! My breakfast - snack right now.

5. I love looking at different sites to get ideas on updating-decorating the house. Right now, I am into painting the walls and ceiling. Which is very unusual cause I usually don't like to paint the house. Looking for different way to showcase photographs of my family and friends on the hallway wall.

Wedding Card 2

Here's another card I made with not much stamping. This also would work great for an anniversary card or just a card for that special someone! The paper is from Flair Designs, and used my Fiskar's border punch to divide the card and to add some texture. I am in love with Glitter dots! I can't get enough of them. I just placed a nice size order for more from Gina K!

wedding card 1

I have quite a few weddings to attend in the next few months so I thought I would get an early start. This first card would also work for an anniversary! The stamp is new from Gina K. The paper is by Flair Designs. The ribbon on the left of the couple is something I picked up at Hobby Lobby.

I found some great cardstock at CutCardstock.com. I love the Curious Iridescent Cryogen White Cardstock! Just a tint of glitter. It is wonderful for wedding/anniversary cards. Give it a try!

Valentine's Card

Here is a quick card to make on a very cold Sunday afternoon! Used border punch by Fiskars for the lace trim. Paper is by Flair Designs and the children card is by Daisy D. I inked the edges of the card with Cranberry Ranger's Paint Dabber and used pop up dots to make the die cut stand out. Love the big brads and glitter dots too! The only stamping I did was on the base card with different sizes of heart stamps I have laying around here.

Pray for Tricia and Gwenyth

I have been following this family's journey for the last few months. They can use everyone's prayers. The faith of Nate and Tricia has been unwavering and constant.
