We Must Celebrate

Hello & Happy Friday!

Today the heat starts here...blah!

90 degree days with high humidity are not some of my favorite things and this weather will be hanging around atleast for the next week. Guess that means I will be in hibernation until a cool down comes. We popped out last evening and got groceries so I think I am prepared for the long haul. Only good thing to come from it is I will most likely get some craft time in or a really clean house! Haha! 

Today I have a card to share that I made for on my card rack.

My slot for "kids birthdays" is really lacking. I do not have much in stamps for the younger kids so I thought I better step it up! On this card I used the retired We Must Celebrate stamp set from the 2018 Occasions Mini Catalog.

Aren't those little critters cute?

I had this idea saved on my computer so I did a semi case of it and changed things up some.

I finally used my Stampin Blends that I have had for about a month now. The new Stampin Blends became available yesterday if anyone is interested in ordering them! I have been waiting ever so patiently for them and I got my order in quickly when I heard they were finally available!

Card Details:

Stamps: We Must Celebrate

Ink: Memento Black, Bermuda Bay, Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Bubbles & Fizz DSP (retired SAB 18)

Accessories: 3/4 Circle Punch, Hexagon Punch (flag end) (retired), Bermuda Bay Ribbon, Glue Dot, Rhinestone, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This is the first time I inked up those critters since I had this set.

I know, better late than never, right?

Waterfront & Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Yesterday & today is not the best of days. 

Showery & clouds are in the forecast for most of our weekend.

This morning Shawn went for blood work and after that I am not sure what will be on the agenda.

It may end up being a lazy Saturday or maybe we'll go out and do some thrift shopping.

Yesterday I did sit a bit and created a card with the Tuesday Morning Sketches!

I have not participated in their challenges in awhile and I really need to get back at it because they have some amazing sketches!

Here is this week's sketch and my card....

This card was SO much fun to make!

Thanks Tuesday Morning Sketches for the perfect sketch! 

This card will be headed to Bradenton, Florida to a special guy that is just like son #2 to us.

Tim lived in Florida a couple years ago then moved to Indiana and is now back in Florida which he fell in love with the way of life there. He loves to go boating & fishing. He was married on the beach there so that is why I made a beachy style of card for him. His birthday is coming up in about 2 weeks so I was happy to get this made early and get it in the mail soon.

Card Details:

Stamps: Waterfront, We Must Celebrate (retired), Special Celebrations (inside)

Ink: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue

Cardstock: Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Tutti Fruitti DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Crumb Cake Ribbon, Glue Dots, Banner Punch (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I really love the Waterfront stamp set!

It can create many different scenes from the mountains to the ocean! 

I love it!

We Must Celebrate

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Hope your all having a great week! We're almost to the weekend!

Today I have another treat to share for Easter.

I used some Take Out Boxes that I found at the Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. 

8 boxes for $1.00! Can't beat that! 

Oh and they are really sturdy too!

I put some shred paper in the bottom of these and added a bunch of Hershey's Chocolate Eggs with Hershey's Miniature's candy bars. Filled the box up nicely!

Project Details:

Stamps: We Must Celebrate (bunny), Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Memento Black, Bermuda Bay, Copic Markers

Cardstock: Powder Pink, Whisper White

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Daffodil Delight Enamel Dots, Bermuda Bay Shimmer Ribbon (SAB 18), Glue Dots,  Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

You could easily add a few bucks or even a gift card to these at Easter.

I usually do this for my grown kids! LOL

Candy & money go hand in hand!

My thoughts today....

Our winter is just not going anywhere!

I suppose Spring will get here eventually!

That's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
