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!

Birthday Wishes

Hello Friends! I hope you've been enjoying the weekend. It's been super wet and rainy here, so we haven't spent too much time outdoors. But, it's been nice just having the opportunity to relax a little bit. My poor honey has a cold, so he's been resting and trying to get better. Paige and I have been hanging out just playing, laughing and singing every song imaginable. I think my little one is a songbird, she LOVES to sing!

Today, I have a cute birthday card to share.

So, I whipped out my awesome Lawn Fawn plaid patterned paper (AGAIN) and built the card from there. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the bike and a Spellbinder die for the shape behind the bike. I used some Distress Ink for the sky and grass, aded a few clouds and the sentiment at the bottom, and the card was done. To me, the card looks really sweet and peaceful.

Well, I better go check on my hubby to make sure he's okay. Perhaps a little more tea is in his future! I hope you all have a great day, and thank you so much for stopping by!

Thank you

Hello Friends! I hope you had a great weekend! I think I'm finally starting to get used to "springing forward" with the time change. Hopefully today will be the start of a wonderful week!

Today, I'm sharing a thank you card that I made for my co-worker's wife. I've been having a really hard time finding someone to braid Paige's hair on a regular basis. So, she recommended a hair salon just for kids! Unfortunately, it's an hour away from my house but the stylist did a fantastic job! I've decided that we'll take the trip down there once a month. That shouldn't be too bad, plus Paige looks really cute so it's worth it! Here's the thank you card I made.

I found that cute little girl in the Silhouette Design Store, it was a print and cut file. I just added that gorgeous plaid patterned paper from Lawn Fawn and that script Thanks sentiment is from PTI, the stamp set is called Graceful Greetings. Another super easy card with super cute results!

 

That's it for me today, I hope to back soon with more crafty goodness to share! Have a fantastic day and thank you so much for stopping by!
