Back to Work

Good morning!  I hope that you are successfully recovering from your holiday weekend - if you had one!  Myself, I spent the majority of the day being a nurse, but was blessed enough to spend time with family at a BBQ as well!  I think of Memorial Day and why we celebrate, all the men and women who have fought for our freedom - and for me personally, our Holy Father who has given us the ultimate freedom, by sending His Son to take our place!

Today I decided to jump back in the swing of things and play along with Sweet Sunday Sketch SSSC185 ontwo of my creations creations, as well as The Play Date Cafe (183) color challenge on the top card!  The last card is playing along with the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday #207).

All of my supplies came from either Taylored Expression's or PaperTrey Ink with some CTMH ink, miscellaneous copics, ribbon, and bling tossed in!

Thank you for stopping by and letting me be part of your day!  Your kind words and comments bless me immensely!

Not Playing Nicely....

That would be my computer!  It has decided that it is no longer going to be a team player lol, so packaged up in a box and off to the factory it goes to get an "attitude adjustment"!
Today is a great day to play along with a couple of challenges and join in on a super fun blog hop though!  Fab 'n Funky has a challenge sure to pull you out of your normal stamping funk of making the same old thing over and over, here is a Sympathy card I made for there today!  Sooo not my style of card, but I did it!

(Paper: PaperTreyInk, misc pp, Stamp: PI: Botanical Silhouettes)

Now, if you are here looking for the Taylored Expressions Blog Hop, you have the right place as well!  Here is my card for the hop:

Thanks for stopping in today and God Bless You,

Fun Filled Wednesday

What could possibly make Wednesday more fun than a day of blog hopping with Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past and i heart {ippity} day as well?

Here is a list of all the hoppers - just in case you're lost or wondering where to go next ;o)

First off, here is my card for the TE Blast from the Past Hop!  I totally adore these purples in the paper that can be found in the TE store :o)

Next is my card for the i heart {ippity} team this week - I am still so in love with this set - What Matters Most

Have a great day lovlies!

God Bless You,

Finally Friday

I just got to thinking about this verse for a Friday and got so tickled that I had to use it on a card.  I mean - the card can be taken very serious, but after a long week, I just kept thinking, "Even Friday's are possible with God"!

Although my blog is usually "off" on  the weekends, this Sunday is my "Glorious Glimpse" post for CPC!  You won't wabnt to miss this monthes Design Delights Gallery, especially if you have kiddos and are working on projects for school!

God Bless You,

Almost Friday...

Has this week been long in your world?  It sure seems like it has in mine!  Perhaps it is because I am pretty excited for the weekend.  Abby, Mom, and I have a little of a girls day planned for Saturday and I simply can't wait!  It doesn't matter if we were just all together this past Saturday doing the same thing at the house - it's always a blessing!  The following cards are some little pretties I whipped up for our Church's Prayer Shawl Ministry using the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge sketch!  Love me some TE!  All the pretty papers you see used are from the kits, with the exception of the kraft and white cardstock, which is from PaperTreyInk

Have a great Thursday!!

God Bless You,

Heartin Ippity

Summer Hop & {ippity}

I've got a fun filled blog today!  If you are looking for the Taylored Expression's Blast From the Past Hop, you're here, and well, if you are looking for my I heart {ippity} post for today, well, you're here too!!

The theme for this month's blog hop is "Sending You Sunshine"!  Appropriately, I decided to make a card representing a group dear to my heart that continually works to send sunshine.  Our church does a Prayer Shawl Ministry that is continually trying to spread the love of God and Sonshine to others.

Check out the rest of the blog hoppers here:

Next up is my card for i heart {ippity} this week!  My guy totally wears a shirt and tie to work (almost) daily so I can't wait to tuck this away in his glovebox for him to find!

Have a blessed day!

God BlessYou,
