Just Thinking of You Today

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Wine-Down Wednesday.  My middle of the week card feature for today will hopefully offer you some inspiration and provide you with some motivation to keep you moving through your busy week.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today........
For this special little card today ...... I started off with one of the base cards that were available during Sale-a-Bration.
I cropped up a total of two 'Rings of Love Designer Series Paper' that measured 5/8" x 5-1/2" and 5/8" x 4-1/4".  I also cropped two cardstock panels that measured 5/8" x 5-1/2" and two pieces that measured 5/8" x 4-1/4".
I started off by adhering down the 5/8" x 4-1/4" Designer Series Paper and two colored cardstock panels to the bottom of my base card.
Then I adhered the 5/8" x 5-1/2" Designer Series Paper and one each of my colored cardstock panels down the left-hand edge of my base card.
My sentiment was stamped onto a White 'Scallop Contour Dies' piece and it was matted with a Poppy Parade scallop frame.
I used the 'Flowering Tulips' to stamp my sentiment into the bottom right-hand corner of my White frame.....
And I used the 'Wonderful World' set to stamp my two pretty flowers.
The finishing touch was adding three little 'Brushed Brass Butterflies'.
I'm crazy about the way this card turned out.
So, what do you think???

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow with a Tag Thursday creation to share with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

You're The Coolest

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is '3D CASE TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I created and want to share with you.   This project was SUPER FUN to create and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.
This project was shared by Dena Rekow at the Creativity Cave back in April.   I thought this would make a CUTE Mini Event Scrapbook ...... And with company coming every month now ...... I'm going to create several of these and give them to our company as a way for them to remember their visit to AZ.   Here is the link to the UTube video that Dena created:  (1758) April 20, 2022 Live with The Creativity Cave - YouTube
This little album is held together with a fun little belly band.
I used 'Rings of Love Designer Series Paper' to create my Belly Band.  I topped it off with some 'Soft Succulent 1/2" Satin Shimmer Ribbon' and used the 'All Bundled Up' set to create my sentiment.
The FUN of this little card/album is that it has 2-flap pockets on both sides.....
And a flap pocket on both the top and bottom ...... And in the center is a large section to spotlight a photo.
Each pocket has a matted frame for pictures.....
And the matted frames are double sided ..... So you get lots of spots to tuck photos.
The pockets on the top and bottom are much smaller......
But both are double sided for either small photos or sections for journaling.
I plan to spotlight one of my favorite pictures from each visit in the center section.
Here's how the card/album looks completely opened......
And how it looks flipped over.
I'm thrilled with the way this card/album turned out.....
What do you think my friends.....

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Wine Down Wednesday card with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Thinking of You Upgrade

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends! 
Today is Mix-It-UP! Monday, and I have an upgraded version of the card I shared with you yesterday.  I used the exact same product that was used to create yesterday's card ..... But I added a couple additional products found in the 2022-2023 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.
Here's my Spotlight Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP....
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded card for today on the BOTTOM....
The first upgrade I made to my card for today was change up the orientation from a Landscape style card to a Portrait style card.
I kept the base card White ....... And added an Orchid Oasis panel to the front.  But for my upgraded version ..... I ran that Orchid Oasis cardstock through my machine and used the 'Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder' on it before adhering it down to my base card.
I also upgraded the White panel that featured my PRETTY flower.  To that panel, I used the 'Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folder' and gave it some lovely texture before adhering down my flower.
I used the same 'Wonderful World Designer Series Paper' for my pretty flower.....
And I upgraded my sentiment by creating a layering frame for my "thinking of you" to be stamped on.
Here's another view of how pretty both the Orchid Oasis and White cardstock panels look after they were both embossed.
So, what do you think my friends......
Do you have a favorite????

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a 3-D Tuesday creation with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Thinking of You

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2022 Stampin' UP! Sale-a-Bration Catalog.  This card uses several products from that new catalog ........ And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........
I am IN LOVE with the way this card turned out.  And talk about coming together in a JIFFY......Didn't take much to pull this card together.
I started off with a White base card.  To the top ..... I added a panel of Orchid Oasis cardstock.
Then I created a framed section.  I used Starry Sky cardstock and added a White panel to the top.  I used the 'Wonderful World Designer Series Paper' for my flower.  All it took was some fussy cutting and I had that BEAUFIUL flower snipped out in no time flat.
My sentiment is from the 'Soft Seedlings' set and that was stamped with Starry Sky ink onto a banner flag that was cropped out using the 'Stylish Shapes Dies'.
The finishing touch was adding five '2022-2024 In Color Matt Decorative Dots around the front of my card and I called this card done ...... IN A FLASH!!!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share an upgraded version of this very card with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Let It Snow Album

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My Scrapbook share for this week is a DARLING little album I got from 'ArtsyAlbums.shop' called "Let It Snow".  It is designed to help you document all the FUN you might have in the snow this year.  Here is what I created.
This album is JAMMED PACKED with seven pages and a SURPRISE waterfall section at the end of the album. 
Here's Pages 1 and 2.
Page 2 has a fun flip-out section and the center has a large pocket for some tags.
Here's Pages 3 and 4.  Page 4 has another flip out section.
Here's the flip-out section for Page 4.
Page 5 has a large pocket section and Page 6 has another flip-out section.
Here's the flip-out section for Page 6.
And this is Page 7 and the SURPRISE waterfall section.
The waterfall section was designed to have a magnetic closure.....
And when you open that section up .......There are SEVEN sections for more photos.
Each section is decorated on the front and back with Designer Series Paper ...... and each section will hold a 3" x 5" photo.  That means you can add an addtional 14 pictures in this waterfall section.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Spotlight Sunday creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Welcome

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a tag I created and show you how easy it is to use minimal supplies to create a SUPER PRETTY TAG.  Now that you have the details for my Tag Thursday creation for this week ........ Let's jump right in with my tag share for today........
I started this tag off with a larger tag ...... This is a Night of Navy base that measures 3" x 5-3/4".
To the top of my base tag ...... I added a panel of the 'Rings of Love Designer Series Paper'.
Before I adhered that DSP panel down onto my tag ...... I wrapped some 'Linen Thread' around the bottom section several times and tied it up into a pretty bow.
My sentiment is from the 'Alaphabet' stamp set and that was stampd onto a frame from the 'Natural Prints Dies' and then matted onto two 'Layering Circle Die' pieces.
My tag was topped off with a pretty 'Linen Thread' bow and I did crop out three hearts from the 'Cracker & Treat Box Dies' and added those to the front of my tag.
So, there you have it friends......
What do you think????

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share some Friends Friday creations with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
