So Proud of You

Hello Friends! Happy Saturday! I sure hope your weather is nice and you're out enjoying the weekend. We had a tropical storm warning for our area but my hubby told me that the last report has it going west of us and we are hopefully out of the storm's path. I was proactive and picked up supplies like water, candles, snacks, etc and thank goodness I did it early because the shelves at the grocery stores were empty and lines at the gas station were out of control yesterday!!!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for my co-worker. Her son's girlfriend recently completed Basic Training for the US Air Force so I knew I had to make a card that she could give to her.

I used my handy dandy Silhouette to cut the letters for Air Force as well as the F-22 fighter jet (I think it was a F-22!). I already had that beautiful patterned paper on hand from Authentique along with the sticker. I finished off the card by stamping some red and blue stars and adding the So Proud of You sentiment using Script Sentiments from PTI. I think I've mentioned before that I really love making patriotic cards, especially for members of our US Military.

 

Well, I think we're expecting a sunny day today so I'm going to get out there and enjoy it! Have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by!

The sky's the limit

Hello Friends! Are you having a good week? Oh my goodness, talk about jumping in with both feet, this week has been a blur so far. I have so much going on at work, I almost feel like I'm being punished for taking off for a week! LOL! It's all good though, I'm sure I'll get caught up soon.

I am happy to report that I had a chance to get some crafting done while I was off last week. Today I'm sharing a card that I made for my husband's co-worker. His daughter graduated from H.S. and is off to college. I actually got the idea for this card from this awesome post by Betsy Veldman. I already knew I wanted to use a cute car I found at the Silhouette Design store, but the typewriter was GENIUS!

I used the PTI stamp set Desktop Design along with the sentiment from Blue Skies. I simply cut a piece of black cardstock and used my chalk pen to add the marks in the "street." That car just makes me smile, I love the color the shape, everything about it. Have I mentioned that I love my Silhouette??

 

Well, that's it for me today. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Birthday cards

Hello Friends! I hope you're having a great week thus far. It's been very nice being on vacation, I've been chilling! Paige and I ventured out yesterday to an indoor playground (remember I told you I can't do HOT and HUMID) and it was really nice. Paige had an absolute blast! After that, we met my friend (and Paige's Godmother) for lunch. I had one of the BEST burgers I think I've ever had, and let me tell you I've had some great burgers. I think it ranks in my top 3!

I thought I would drop by and share two more cards from the set I made my co-worker.

 

These cards were made with the PTI Make it Market Kit - Shakers & Sprinkles but I didn't add the sprinkles or the shakers for a change. I just used the beautiful patterned paper and added some enamel dots. Easy peasy! I know I've said this over and over again, but I LOVE THIS KIT! It's so easy to use and all of the cards come out amazing. Thank you Besty Veldman!!

 

Well, I hope the rest of your day is fantastic and thank you so much for stopping by!

Feel Better

Hello Friends! Happy Monday! Are you ready for the start of another work week? Well, I hate to say it, but I'm off all week, yay me! :-) Paige and I will be hanging out all week long so I'm trying plan fun outings with her. The only problem is, it's SO HOT and HUMID I really can't do the outdoor thing, so we'll be finding plenty to do indoors!

Recently, my co-worker asked me to make her a set of cards, so I'm sharing two of those cards today.

There's no better way to send a Feel Better Soon wish then with a bowl of soup! I used the Comfort Foods stamp set from PTI, and don't you love the "Campbell's" soup can! You can't get much more iconic than that! I'll be sharing the other cards I made in this set in the next few days. I hope to get a lot of crafting done while I'm on vacation this week, cross your fingers that it happens!

 

Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Thank you card

Hello Friends! Happy Saturday! I hope it's nice and sunny where you are and you plan on going out and enjoying it! Things have been crazy busy with me lately. I was in Atlanta two weeks in a row, and my job has me going non-stop. But, I make sure I set some time aside to craft! Today I have a thank you card to share that I made for my sweet friend Chi. She's such a good auntie, she sent Paige the cutest clothes not long ago so I had to send her a card from Paige.

For this card I used a super cute stamp set from PTI called Pencil Me In. It's a great set to use for teacher gifts, but since this card is really from Paige, I thought it would be perfect. The notebook paper is a patterned paper set also from PTI from the Pencil Me In line. I think this may be one of my go-to stamp sets, I really love it!

 

Well today is a daddy-daughter day, so I better get Paige ready to go! I hope you all have a wonderful day and a great weekend. Thank you so much for stopping by!
