OMG...more cuteness using the Flora & Fauna birthday set...you gotta have this set!

Sentiment is from amuse studio OMG Cake stamp set.

You take the cake...

You take the cake Melissa for inspiring us all. I loved all your cards you made using the Flora & Fauna birthday set that I had to get it and make my own. I have been having too much fun with this set!

More fun cards...oh this set is just so darn cute!

It's a must for your stash!

Red White and Blue

I finished up my 12 x 12 sampler just in time for Memorial Day.

I did every square in red, white and blue so that I can put it out for not just Memorial Day, but for July 4th and Labor Day.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Thanks to all who have served our country and continue to do so!

2017

I needed some Graduation cards for this year and thought I would make the same style in different colors. I like how they turned out!

Stamp sets are from Amuse Studio

Congradulations

Essential Sentiments two

Big Celebrations

Sweet treats

How fun are these peppermint treats. 

You could send one to a friend or family member and what a sweet Hello it would be.

These would look good for your graduation party...a little treat for everyone to take home.

Finished project

Emily planted her flowers in her new plant stand she made. It looks awesome!

She did such good job and I know she will enjoy watching her flowers bloom!

Hello Lovely

This simple and beautiful Mother's Day card was made using the "hello lovely" stamp set from Concord and 9th. It pairs well with the free set I posted about a few days ago. 

Just lovely!

Stamp room

Last week I found a deal of the century.

I had a Martha Stewart cubby shelf I had bought years ago...the one on the left. I found the one on the right for $10 at a little store in my town. Look how awesome it looks next to my other one. Still working on filling the cubbies.

I did a little rearranging of my stamp room and am loving the new shelf.

Lovely

This simple yet "lovely" card was made using a free stamp set I received from Concord and 9th.

Look how beautiful this card turned out...with just a hint of color.

Water Color Class

Sylvia's water color card class was awesome! We learned many things about water coloring...and put them to use. With the cost of the class...water color pencils, a blender pen, water color paper, and a sample paper pack was provided. Sylvia then went the extra mile and made us a case to put the pencils and blender in so we can take them with us anytime...anywhere. Thank you Sylvia for a great card class. We made 6 cards and a treat bag. 

Love this manly treat bag.

Our water color pencils and case. Sylvia made the color chart for us too.

Our water color paper  and our paper pack along with some water color tips.

Again...it was an awesome class...thank you Sylvia!

Plant stand

Emily saw an idea on Pinterest and new she wanted to create one herself.

She cut and sanded her 5 foot boards...a woman and her power tools! Then picked her paint color.

Next she and her Dad found some cement block laying round the farm and cleaned them up and she spray painted them burnt orange.

Let's just say....job well done Emily!
She had a great time flower pot shopping...now off to get flowers...can't wait to see it with all her pretty flowers growing.

Thanks...

Made these candy boxes using the We R Us candy board. I filled them with a cello bag of M and M's.

The sentiment is from Stampin Up and the heart is a punch.

Sweet treat for anyone who's special.

SWEET TREATS

These chocolate squares are so pretty covered in this pattern paper.

The sentiment is something I had in my stash and the paper is from Taylored Expressions.

Too pretty to open and eat.

Simple and quick card for Dad.

Dad...

I know it is soon to be Mother's Day but I have been enjoying making some great Father's Day cards or even birthday cards for that special Dad.

This is another from the clear stamp set of Hero Arts.

This fits my Dad perfectly...he can do just about anything!

Happy Anniversary!

Three years ago...a happy day it was. 

Happy Anniversary Alison and Collin!

Wishing you both many more happy years together!

Loads of Love

This would be a great birthday card or Father's Day card for your Dad. It was simple and quick to make. The stamp set is a clear set from Hero Arts.

Craft Club

After a long winter's nap our stamp club gone craft club got together once again. We had so much fun creating our birthday themed cards. Each person was to bring "shoebox" supplies for each of us to make two cards. The theme was birthday and we went home with quite the selection of cards. Thanks to Shari, Colleen, and Casey and myself. Regina and Karen, missed you at craft club hope to see you at the next one!

Our beautiful selection of birthday cards we all took home!!

with sympathy

A friend of mine has suffered another tragic loss and I made her this card using the painted flowers stamp set from Altenew and the words and die are from Papertrey.

Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

painted flowers

I am loving the stamp set "painted flowers" from Altenew.

You layer them with color and they turn out fabulous! I added a little clear wink of stella and it is gorgeous!  I have made several of these cards for various occasions. What a beautiful set!

Sentiment is from amuse studio's essential sentiments two.

Beautiful Bench and more!

This beautiful bench was made by my niece, Katie and her FFA students at Franklin County High School in Indiana. 

Please visit them and support their wonderful efforts!

The FCHS Horticulture class/FFA will have garden benches, hanging baskets, and much, much more at the Plant Sale on Sunday, May 7th at the FCHS greenhouse! (11 am - 2 pm). All proceeds help sustain our P.L.A.N.T.S. outreach program, which raises and donates produce to our local food pantries.

i bought my bench early....love it so much! Great job and thank you so much Katie!

Easter Decor

I can't believe I did not post this beautiful Easter decoration my sister made for me this year.

She covered the wooden bunny with cardstock and then created the beautiful flowers to deocrate it. She used Concord and 9th's sophisticated scrip to  stamp the sentiment.

It is just so lovely! 

Thank you Shari for another beautiful creation.

Here is a close up of the beautiful flowers she created. 

I am always in awe of her talent.

She even finished off the edge with a pretty punched border.

Sweet Treat

Sorry for the late posting... 

I found this cute egg candy dish at TJ Maxx for my friend Karen.

I filled it with rolos and added a cute tag from the bunny die amuse studio had in last month's collection. The sentiment is an old wood block in my stash.
