Finally Home!!!

It has been a crazy couple of weeks. We were at Convention in Salt Lake - and that was amazing. I have never laughed so hard in all my life. Thankfully it came at the right time because I need all the laughter I could find. It was a rough week at home for my husband, which of course made it a rough week for me. I hate when he has that many challenges in one week. We are still struggling with some of it, but we are hoping that we are on the down side. I know that we are not alone and we are very blessed. Let me say that again, we are very blessed and no matter what the trouble we are still too blessed to be stressed. We live in an amazing country, we have great friends, jobs, a great business, amazing kids, family, an awesome church family, and so much more!

Anyway, I am sharing a couple of projects that were given to me at Convention. My friend Dawn Derrick (whose blog can be found here) made some amazing swaps for us. She is an amazing seamstress and used SU! fabric to make these treats for us. A lanyard and a key fob. The cute fabric flower on the lanyard is actually a pin. Too cute. I am going to have to duplicate this for sure!

The next item is a swap that I received. I do not have the info on the creator, but I think it is really pretty and I plan on copying it soon. One of the great parts of Convention is getting your hands on ideas to use in your business. I have tons!!!

I hope you have a great and fabulous day!

Something Simple on Saturday

Today's card is a simple one layer card! Isn't it gorgeous? Who would not want to get this for their birthday?

I love making one layer cards. They are easy but still give that personal touch. You can also make a lot of them in a short period of time. You could add an embellishment like ribbon or rhinestones, but it is not necessary.

We will be leaving for the lake for the 4th. I will be posting pictures of cards and our family adventures. I hope that you have a great weekend.

The items used are as follows:

Stamp Sets: Bring on the Cake, Delicate Doilies
Ink: Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade, Indigo Island, Basic Black
Paper: Whisper White

Thanks for looking! Happy Stamping!

Embossed Doilie

Three days in a row - I can't believe it!

Enough about that, let's talk about this card. Isn't it a beauty? I just love this set that will be available July 1st when our new catalog comes out. It is a preview set right now that demonstrators are allowed to preorder to prepare for the new catalog. A perk to being a demonstrator.

The card is made with Whisper White, Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler cardstock. It uses basic black striped ribbon, versamark, basic black ink and white embossing powder. I just have to find the right person to send it to for their birthday. Who wouldn't love getting this!!!

Also, today is the day my sweet girl comes home from camp! I can't wait to see her. She has been gone since Monday and life has not been the same without her here. She really does add a different dynamic to our home and is such a blessing.

I hope you have a great day and enjoy this sweet card. All products are Stampin' Up!

Thanks for looking!
