Happy Birthday Leslie

My step-sister-in-law is having a birthday today. I am hoping that this card made it to her. I know I stamped the card, put it in an envelope and put a stamp on it. I am just not 100% sure that it made it to the mailbox! I guess I will have to send her the link if she didn't get it to prove that I didn't forget about her! Have you ever done anything like that? How embarrassing!

Kind & Caring Thoughts Birthday card

I got to stamp yesterday! I was still walking around boxes and moving piles to find the space to stamp...but I did it! If I waited until my craft room was all settled it would probably be another 2 years before my stamps saw any ink! My friend, Kim, is having a birthday next Monday so this is for her.

A friend in need

I have a friend from high school, Tracy. He and his family have really been on my heart today because their oldest son, Noah, was diagnosed with Batten's Disease. They just got test results today that one of their young daughters may also have the same disease. It is fatal and there is no cure. I would like to get their website out there for as many people to see as possible. If you have a blog could you please consider mentioning his website to get the word out? It is www.noahshope.com Thanks for your help! I am sure they would appreciate any prayers and positive thoughts that you could send their way as well!

Finally a new post!

Sorry to those of you who have been checking in for a new post. Moving has really put me behind! My craft room is still mostly in boxes, but I did get to do a project for Paige's room that I would like to share. It is from the Decor Elements line that Stampin' Up!® carries. It is such an easy way to change the look of a room without a lot of effort.

Autumn Days Father's Day Card

The packers are coming on Monday, I have a million things to do but I had to get a card done for my hubby for Father's Day. This stamp set will be appearing in the new Stampin' Up!® catalog that is debuting on July 1st.

Stamp sets: Autumn Days and Collage Alphabet(retired)

Paper: Naturals Ivory, Creamy Caramel, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze and Blue Bayou(retired)

Ink: Creamy Caramel and Soft Suede Classic Stampin' pad

Accessories: paper snips, metal rim tag, Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon and sponges

I felt that the Very Vanilla ribbon was too bright for this card, so I sponged some Creamy Caramel ink on it to "dirty it up" and make it fit the card a little better.
