Happy Tuesday, everyone! Right now I am looking out the window of our condo in Big Sky, MT...and watching the snow silently fall. I brought some of my supplies with me, in order to create a couple of things that I just didn't have time to get done last week.
My card today is for Stamper's Dream. I also used CPS Sketch #215 for it, and the Play Date Cafe #78 (red, light blue, pink) challenges. Here is what I created:

Happy Wednesday, everyone!! Welcome to this month's Taylored Expression "Blast from the Past" blog hop!! This month's theme is clean and simple...and I decided to use one of my tried and true themes/designs for it....rainbows!!
I often use a similar design concept when bringing the rainbow theme into a card, and it just happens to really work well. Here is what I created!

"Friends are Flowers...." supplies:
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (white) & Bazzill Basics (yellow)
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (white) & Bazzill Basics (yellow)
Stamps: Taylored Expressions (Friendship Blooms set)
Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: scarlet, orange, canary, lime, aqua, heliotrope, raven black)
Jewels/Button: Doodlebug Designs
Twine: May Arts
Corner Rounder: EK Success
Instructions: Fold white cardstock in half to make card base, and round the bottom corners. Stamp the flowers in a rainbow pattern across the top of the card, and accent the middles with a matching colored jewel. Stamp the sentiment to a yellow cardstock strip, and cut a flag shaped end. Adhere the sentiment strip to the right side of the card. Tie a twine bow through a button, and then adhere to the sentiment strip to finish.
Speaking of rainbow cards, if you frequent my blog at all....you might know that I created a fun rainbow themed card using twine for the Lawn Fawn release of "Smitty's ABCs". Well, that card got a bit of recognition, and I wanted to share that with you. First off...it was a daily feature in the 2Peas gallery on the day it was posted, and then Kristina also included it in the April 12th Newsletter!! There also happened to be a twine challenge at Wee Memories that same week, and I entered the card in for it.
Well, I was picked as the "Top Hoot" and won a prize package from The Twinery!! Yay!! Who knew one little card would be so popular...you just never know what people are going to love!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend, and a great start to your week! It has been a little slow at my blog, and for the next couple of weeks it is going to stay that way. We are getting ready to leave for a week at Big Sky with Josh's parents this Friday, and I have a lot to do to get ready to go. So- sorry if posts are a bit sparse! I hope you will still enjoy what I do get to post, and will come back once I am home!!
Today I have a card to share with you for Stamper's Dream. It is also my card for CPS Sketch #214, and I used the colors from CR84FN24 (light blue, aqua, cream). This is what I came up with!

So, on Saturday I got to see my bro! It had been SO long since I last saw him (like my birthday in January?!)....and I was so excited! I got to watch him play a bit of scrimmage football, and I got to see his championship ring. It is amazing and ginormous...here is a shot of it:
How cool is that?! As a {much} older sister, I have always hoped and prayed that his dream's would come true. And here he is...playing football in college and getting a ring his first year. I have been watching him turn into this amazing man during his first year of college, and I can't help but believe that in some way football and being at this small private college has helped bring it out in him. Casey is right where he should be, and pretty much everything that has happened in his life this year proves that. I am just so proud of him, and the person he continues to become! Love you, brother! ♥♥♥
Until later,

Happy Friday, everyone!! Are you excited for the weekend? I know that I am! My hubby has to work all weekend long, which is a bit of a bummer because his normal days off are Friday and Saturday. But, it is the life of retail and we take it all in stride. So- I am heading off for a day in Helena tomorrow! First on the docket...to watch the bro play in the last spring scrimmage of the season. Can't wait to watch him play, and just get to see him and my parents and Tara. It has been forever! It will just be a day trip though, and I will head home at some point! Can't wait!
Today I have my first WPlus9 Color Cue post as a design team member. Here is the awesome color combo that we are challenging you with:
Of course, you can add in white/cream as a helpful neutral! I just adore this color combo...it is one of my faves!!

I also used Clean & Simple Stamping FTL #135 for my card...which was last week's sketch. I am a little late on it...but I think that is probably okay! Tee hee! Here is what I created:
