Sunflowers....

Good Afternoon!

I hope all is well on the east coast! I see by the news there are many without power. My prayers are with you!

 I wanted to share the wonderful surprise in my mailbox today! First let me give you some history. The week we opened our little coffee shop there was this super cute teardrop trailer that came into the campground just behind the shop. The whole back of the trailer was covered with sunflowers... it was the coolest thing! The owners of that little trailer came into our shop for coffee and wi~fi every morning! Come to find out they were artist's! The scene on the back of the trailer was Anne's work!

This is the super awesome card that came with the incredible painting! Needless to say this will have a very special place in our shop! It just makes me smile every time I look at it! I can't believe how kind people are!

You know I had to make a thank you card!  My card pales in comparison to Anne's beautiful work! My card base is very vanilla layered with crumb cake and more very vanilla! The sentiment is from engraved greetings. I added some scoring and embossing to finish it off!

That's it for me today! Hope to be back real soon!

Pretty Pink Birthday!

Hi Again!

It's not been quite a week since I posted! I had every intention of posting more this past week! Unfortunately life got in the way! I actually made this card a few months ago for a friends birthday! It's pretty simple... whisper white card base layered with pretty in pink and SU dsp. The sentiment is from well scripted! 

Have a great evening!

Well HELLO out there!

I think I'm back! I finally found the end of the circle I was running in LOL~! Things are going great and the coffee shop is off to an awesome start!

I found my craft room again too! I felt like a lost little lamb in there )0= I needed some inspiration to even begin a card... so I used the Mojo 264 challenge to get my juices going!

My card base is early espresso layered with baja breeze and whisper white. The second panel is early espresso, whisper white and snow festival dp. The focal image is from perfect punches.  Not my best work but a good start to get back in the swing of things! I will be around to visit all my friends shortly!

Good Afternoon Friends!

Have you missed me? I've sure missed visiting you! Things are finally slowing down a bit! I am so over painting! I've painted for every weekend since we decided to do the coffee shop. Everything sure looks nice and I'm really glad that part is done! 

I had some time to play this morning so I checked out the Mojo sketch... lots of luscious layers! My card base is whisper white layered with marina mist and MME honey cake dp. The focal image is from SU mixed bunch and the sentiment is from trust God. This was so much fun! I promise you will see a little more of me now! I will be around to pay you a visit!

Good Afternoon!

Boy have I missed blogging! I made this card a while back and can't find my little sticky note of deets )=

I know the images are from bright blossoms. I cased this  card. 

I've been super busy getting the shop ready. We've purchased almost everything we need to open. Now it's time to transform the shop and make it all  bright and new! Lot's of work to get done in the next few weeks. I will try and pop in and visit you!

Say it in.....

It's time for another wonderful challenge from AnnaBelle Stamps! First I have a little news. I've decided to step down from the AnnaBelle DT. With all of the new adventures with my shop I can't devote enough time to support AnnaBelle stamps the way that I should! I have truly enjoyed my time with Andrea and the rest of the totally AWESOME team and will miss working with them! Onto my card...

This week we are featuring dotted flowers, stemmed flowers or fanciful flowers. The prize this week is dotted flowers.It is only fitting that I used my very favorite sentiment from AnnaBells Stamps dotted flowers for my final post.

I let the sentiment be the focal point on this CAS card. Be sure and check out the rest of the DT... you can find their links on my side bar! Have a great evening!
