Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend!

Today we went on a trip with Kelsey & Corey to Root's Market & Auction in East Petersburg in Lancaster County, PA.

It's been quite a few years since Shawn & I have gone there.

They have auctions for all kinds of things and also shopping for homemade baked goods, fresh meats, fresh produce, plants/flowers and well almost anything! Also lots of FOOD!

We came home with so much good stuff!!!

Sticky Buns, Whoopie Pies, Sugar Peas, 2 bunches of Asparagus, Lettuce, Romaine Lettuce, Tomato's, Trail Mix, Chipped Chicken and 2 Italian subs for lunch tomorrow!

The Chipped Chicken is what we are using for Chipped Chicken Subs for supper this evening which are just like a Chipped Steak Sandwich. Ryan loves the chicken so that will make him happy!

I'm not sure what all Kelsey got but they both had tons of bags, too!

Afterwards we popped to a Home Goods Store in Lancaster because Kelsey is on a roll looking for Rae Dunn things. She struck it rich today and got bowls and flower holders for her little apartment.

She was trying to talk me into getting a Rae Dunn coffee cup but I don't really need anymore coffee cups plus I had my eye on a Rae Dunn planter that I want to put my palm/fern in. Winter time it sits by my kitchen window and summer time it goes outside on the back porch and is getting really big!

We had a great day but my word, is it ever HUMID out!

I was a sweat puddle and ready to get home to my AC!

So I do have a quick set of cards to share today!

I made these for my customers last order then changed my mind and kept them.

I thought they were maybe too busy for her. I may add a sentiment and use for something else down the road.

All this comes from the Happiness Blooms Suite in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

It's all retiring on June 3rd. (insert sad face)

I loved this suite of products and will continue to use it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Bloom by Bloom

Ink: Pineapple Punch, Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Pineapple Punch, Whisper White, Happiness Blooms DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Square Layering Framelits, Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love how bright this set turned out!

I think I will add a fun sentiment and use them another time!

Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hello & Happy Friday!

The weekend is upon us again!

This afternoon I start my Light Therapy.

I'm really hoping it helps!

Fingers crossed!

Today I am sharing a card I made for this week's Tuesday Morning Sketches!

They always have a great sketch each week so check them out & play along!

Here is the sketch and my samples....

I pulled out the Happiness Blooms DSP and chose 3 strips of paper that I mounted on to a piece of Call Me Clover cardstock.

I used the Bloom by Bloom stamp set for my flowers! This is the first it has seen ink.

The colors I chose for this card are Night of Navy, Call Me Clover & Pineapple Punch.

Card Details:

Stamps: Bloom by Bloom, Itty Bitty Greetings

Ink: Night of Navy, Call Me Clover, Pineapple Punch

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Call Me Clover, Whisper White, Happiness Blooms DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Pineapple Punch Grosgrain Ribbon, Glue Dot, Rhinestones, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Aren't those colors & papers pretty bold?

Nothing like a pop of color during these long winter months!
