Belated Birthday Part 2

Hello Friends! Happy Saturday! I hope you had a great week and are ready for a wonderful weekend. We're expecting lots of rain this weekend due to a tropical system out there in the Atlantic, so more than likely we'll be inside most of the weekend. That's fine by me, I love hanging in the house with my fam. :-)

Today, I have another belated birthday card to share (are you sensing a theme?). The sentiment on this card cracks me up!

This stamp set is from Reverse Confetti, it's called The Buzz. I colored the bee with Copic markers and added that great sentiment to a banner I cut with my Silhouette. I used very neutral tones on this card, you know to down play the fact that it's late! LOL! It's sad to say, but I'm sure I'll be using this stamp set again. 

Well, I hope you have a fantastic weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!

Belated Birthday

Hello Friends! I hope all of you had a nice weekend. Have you been watching the Olympics? The games were absolutely amazing, and I enjoyed every event that we watched. The US did outstanding and it's such a joy to see so many awesome athletes realize their dreams. Loved it!

Well, it's the start to another week and I can't believe that August is almost over! I'm starting to see a lot of stamp companies coming out with their fall and winter releases, so that just means that we'll be singing Jingle Bells pretty soon here at the blog! Today I have a belated birthday card to share. You know, it's really a shame when you're a card maker and you still figure out a way to be late with one of your BFF's birthday's (Sorry Chi!). I made this card using the Some Like it Hot stamp set from PTI.

Can I just tell you that I'm in love with this stamp set?! Don' be surprised if you see red and green flamingos on my Christmas cards this year! (I'm so not kidding!!) The sentiment on this card is from Blue Skies stamp set, also from PTI. Although it's a belated card, it's still cute, right? :-)

Well, I better get ready for work and get this Monday started with a smile. I hope you have a great day, and thank you so much for stopping by!

Take Note

Hello Friends! Happy Monday to all of you! I hope you had a great weekend. My weekend was fabulous because my mom is here!! She got here on Saturday and we've been chatting and laughing every since. Paige has been full of hugs and kisses since she's been here so it's been great watching the two of them bond.

I'm popping in today to share a couple of notepads. You know I absolutely love a notepad, and these are so great to keep in your purse. You never know when you need to jot down a little note, or make a list for your groceries so it's nice to have a handy dandy notepad.

So, you know I have a thing for typewriters and I just found out a couple of days ago that Michael's is selling a We R Memory Keepers typecast typewriter!!! For some reason, I can't add the link, but I'll work on that because you really need to see it. The beautiful part is it comes in PINK!! What the what!!!! I want it SO bad, but it carries a hefty price tag...$199.00 and you can't use the coupon. I guess I'll need to start saving my pennies, and selling more cards so I can buy one! 

Okay, I digress...I used patterned paper and a print cut and cut typewriter from the Silhouette Design Store to make the notepads. These came together pretty quickly and I believe I made four of them. More than likely I'll add them to my back-to-school teacher gifts. :-)

Well, I hope you all have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Beautiful!

Hello Friends! Happy Friday! I hope you're having a great week and getting ready for the weekend! I returned home from Philly yesterday and yes, I had a Philly cheese steak while I was there!  So, I'm heading to work today and then I'll be racing to get home because my mom is coming in town tomorrow! I'm super excited!! All I can say is Paige is going to have a great time! Talk about getting a lot of attention and being even more spoiled than she already is! LOL!

Today I'm sharing a card I made for my stash. Remember, I'm trying to get better with having cards on hand so I don't have to make a card every time I need one...I know, novel right?!

I absolutely, positively love that sentiment! Who wouldn't want to open a card that says Hello Beautiful! The stamp set is from Simon Says Stamp and of course it's entitled Hello Beautiful. I pulled out my plaid paper from Lawn Fawn (again) and the watercolor frame was a print and cut from the Silhouette Design Store. I used some Ranger distress ink to ink up the background paper and that's about it.

Well, I gotta get out of here and I'll work on containing my excitement about my mom coming down...nah not really! I'll try to pop in next week to give you an update!

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Good Day

Hello Friends,! I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was good, but way too short! I'm actually heading out of town on a business trip today, so I spent my weekend washing, packing, shopping, and making sure my hubby has everything he needs for our little princess.

I can't believe that August is already here! I realized over the weekend that I need to start planning Paige's birthday party because October will be here before you know it! I remember when I was pregnant, our friends told us that once she gets here time was going to fly! They were not kidding!! I personally treasure every minute I spend with Paige because she's already getting very independent. It's going to suck when she doesn't "need" me to do things for her anymore.

Okay, before I start crying let's get on to today's card! You all know that I love my coffee, and today I'm sharing yet another coffee card. Hey, it's Monday, what better way to start the week?

This sentiment could not be more true! I try to start every day with a smile and a positive attitude, it's amazing how far a smile will go! So, I broke out my Copics to color the coffee mugs, I know my coloring isn't great, but I tried! I also used my go-to plaid patterned paper from Lawn Fawn. They recently released new plaid papers for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and winter. You know I'll be picking those up! The stamp set I used is called Latte Love from PTI, it's one of my all-time faves!

Well, I hope all of you have a very Happy Monday and a wonderful week. Thank you so much for stopping by!
