Work It Wednesday Stars and a Child at Heart

Here are a couple of "just because" cards for my stash.


It was fun stacking these barely used stars in my stamp pile & showcasing this "new to me" patterned paper as a backdrop.

Work It Wednesday January 2016



There was just something about this "checkered" heart against this circular green which caused me to card it when they met on my desk.

 Simon Says Stamp (Monday): Love Is In the Air + Use Red


 Speaking of love...look at what my girlies blessed me with for my forty-sixth...

 Isn't he precious????


I'm adding him to my small list of Pop figures that make me smile.


Yes, I hope to always be a child at heart. ;)

Balance

I tend to be obsessive,

like, reeeeeally obsessive.

It's a blessing & a curse.

 I really really try to not let things absorb my whole world...

God's helping me with that~

 Hope the rest of your day balances out too. ;)

3 Cards, 1 Sentiment

I love this sentiment so much, I made several cards with it. ;)

 I love reflecting on God's faithfulness in the past ~ ensuring me that He will be there in the future.

These moments are our "memorial stones" (Joshua 4), if you will.

He's the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

My closest friends get me~

When they burst out laughing in my presence,

 they are keepers/they get me. ;)

Missing the Flowers

I love the nautical look...stripes, banners & movement.

I added a bit of bling like some do for a cruise and an unexpected sentiment...

just because. ;)

Check out this beautiful nautical photo~

Here is another card which heads in a floral direction.

I've been using florals more and more...I think it's cuz I miss the flowers!!!

(stamp: A Jillian Vance Design Coffee & Jesus  dies:My Favorite Things Horizontal Stitched Strips)

This patterned paper I've had for years was already done...

just added a focal sentiment to finish the look.

Hey, thanks for stopping by~

Thanks Girlie

I have tried to visit a scrapbook store numerous times this season, but it seems whenever we head to the area, it's on a closed day.


*insert sad face here*
 

So, when my husband asked what I wanted for my birthday...I replied,

"I wanna visit that scrapbook store I keep missing!"

He said "GO!".

 You don't have to tell this chic twice. ;)

He drove in one direction to replace a dishwasher with the girls and I flew in another towards that elusive store.


Yay, they were open!!!

*insert happy face here*

This sweet girlie grabbed my heart~

 and found a new home with a flower and sentiment.
