Hello everyone!

Quick card share today!  I wanted to play with this new set from CTMH, Hawaiian Hibiscus.  I love these images and paired with this fun font, make a cute set!

I played with the sketch over at The Challenge to create this fun card.  Leaving the base plain with kraft, I added some fun paper from the Calypso Paper pack to finish the elements on the front.  I added some twine and the sentiment to finish it off. 

I colored the image with my Copics, but then went back over them with my Pink Wink of Stella.  I love the sparkle.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping in! 

Wild Thing

I don’t even know what to say about today’s card.  I was so excited to make it and to see it come to life!!  And I’m also sorry, not sorry for my love of this Tickled Pink stamps and Thin Cuts!  HA!

This card is super simple, but I did create a fun video for you! 

Enjoy – you can also watch on YouTube HERE!

 

I wanted to play with the newest challenge over at The Paper Players.    It was a perfect excuse to use this set again!!  LOL...

That is all for today!!

I do want to remind you that tomorrow is the last day to enter my Beyond Awesome Online Card Class. 

Enjoy your day!!

Some Kind of Awesome

 

Yesterday, we are sadly celebrating a few ladies who are retiring this year at work.  I shared one of the cards awhile back and finished up this card this week. 

 

I created this card for the secretary at our high school.  She is some kind of awesome and has been working in this position for a long while!! 

I am using the Happy Days Paper pack and the Beyond Awesome stamp set.  I paired them with the new white twine and these fun sequins.  The sketch came from this week’s Mojo Monday.

 

Both the paper and this stamp set are part of my Online Card Class for May.  You can find the details HERE. 

 

We are rained out of some of our weekend events so I’m going to tackle some things around home this weekend.  We are on the countdown to 4H pigs arriving and it’s time to let the turkeys out of their pen. 

I hope you enjoy your weekend!

 

Thanks for the visit today!!

Lastly, here is our weekend in pictures.

RC and his 7th grade team ended up in 3rd place.  They really play well, and they are fun to watch.  It’s so different from David’s years and I don’t know why, but RC’s team gets along so well and they have fun.  They added some kids from another town this year and then RC had come kids stay here from another town.  That to me, is so cool, that he’s out there making friends and having fun versus doing whatever it takes to win the game. 

McKinley and her lil team of 3rd graders played up in the 4th grade bracket.  They too were so fun to watch as they are just learning.  They won one game and one game went into over time.  And then one game they lost 60-6 and the other team stopped adding points at 60.  lol.  It was just fun to watch the play. 

This is only some of the girls. 

 

And then David went to his first prom.  AHHH.  This is his pretty girlfriend of the last year.  His first prom.  In another town, on a busy night.  So I had to hold my patience to get a photo.  And he will tell you I wasn’t all that patient! 

So here’s to Monday.  A fresh new week.  Insanity behind me.  Looking for some positivity and fun in the next few weeks ahead! 

 

Thanks for the visit!!

Spring Chick

I have a NO STAMPING card for you today. 

When I saw this week’s Color Dare, I knew I wanted to pull out this paper from the Penelope line, and this patterned paper in particular.  I love this lil chicks!! 

 

I used the sketch from CAS(E) this sketch too, and only used the compliments in the Penelope Workshop Your Way kit.  It was pretty simple, but super cute. 

I got it ready to go in the mail today as my first of those sent to the ladies on my CTMH Team.
