Well, I can now share with you the card I made for my sister's birthday! She is most deserving of a glass of wine and a bubble bath.

She's a wife, a Mom, a Grammie, a daughter and a wonderful sister. I don't know how she does it all! She'll be back in school soon and I wish for her a little relaxation for her birthday before her summer is over.
Happy Birthday Sherry! Love you!

Memorial Day Weekend

I can't believe it's Memorial Day weekend! Where has the month of May gone to? The weather here in Arizona has been unseasonably cooler - it doesn't even seem hot enough to be May! I want to put a shout out there to those who are serving our country, my dear Em! And those who have served our country - that's you David, and so many others! Thank you for your service! I am so grateful to live in this country.

Last night I was able to get together with the girls to play! My dear friend Donna designed these adorable cards using this little pig, Petunia from Stamping Bella. She was so much fun to color!  . Check out Donna's blog at http://thepapercutters.blogspot.com/ . Donna is so creative and her artwork is very inspiring. She's on the design team for Eat Cake Graphic and 2 Cute Ink Digital Stamps. Check it out! 

Wishing everyone a safe holiday weekend!www.thepapercutters.blogspot.com

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!  You're going to see your card "virtually" before you get it in your hand! This counts for receiving a card for Mother's Day doesn't it? I want to thank you for always believing in me and encouraging me with my God given creative talent.  You must have seen something in me; I can remember my first Halloween costume I dressed as an "Artist". I still remember the smock you made and my "paint palette!" Another memory was riding my bicycle to the craft store to make my modge podge dolls! I was always trying to be creative.  You inspired me with your love for sewing as well.  Your quilts are beautiful and I wish we were closer so we could quilt together.  I love you and wish you a very Happy Mother's Day!  Your card should arrive this week! XOXO

My First Challenge Entry

Here it is - my first challenge submission!  Hoppy Poppy is a Stamping Bella stamp, she's so cute!  I've entered this card into the Friday challenge.  I'll let you know what happens, I've never done this before!
