Retirement Invitation

Click HERE for my 500 Follower Giveaway! Make a comment on that post & follow my blog for your chance to win!!!

Hey All!!

I feel like I have not posted in days! I have been SOOOO busy getting things together for my kiddo to FINALLY be out of school! He is no longer a second grader! And he is no longer at the little kid school...My baby isn't a baby anymore :( WAAAHHHHH! I am so crushed by this. I could not WAIT for him to get out of that school because I wanted him to be in the school across the street from us since it would be so very easy in the morning, and so I would not have to "jockey" for position in the morning to park! But, my heart hurt SO BAD picking him up yesterday! This is the end of the innocence! His old school was from pre-k to 2nd grade. This new school next year will be 3rd through 6th. They are the older kids....Oh boy...this momma has some crying to finish up before next year!!!

On a lighter note...Here is a card I created for my co-worker a few weeks ago for her moms retirement party that I forgot to post! I am only showing the front of the card, because the back has all her info. Don't want to be sharing that in Cyber Space! LOL!

Here is the card I made her mom. She was a secretary. I knew I had a file that would fit this PERFECTLY!

Supplies:

Silhouette Cameo

Silhouette Studio File: Jennifer Wambach Typewriter Card file

Stamp: My Creative Time Teeny Tag Greetings

Mics: Pop Dots, Paper From Recollections, Stampin' Up Basic Black Ink, Corner Rounder

I think this card came out REALLY cute!

Thanks so much for checking my card out! And don't forget to come back this Saturday for my Birthday Blog Hop! LOTS of talent and a bunch of prizes!!!

Hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'!

Hey All!!

Its time for another post from me as the Guest Designer at Jaded Blossom! I am starting to get sad because I have 3 more posts to go and then I am done my guest DT month :( BUT, I will still be posting in the Garden of Creativity and I will be buying up their stamps! Well, as much as money would allow! LOL!

All kidding aside, how about you take a lookie at my project for today??? This is a little decoration that I made up for the 4th of July. I found it in the Silhouette Store, and I INSTANTLY had an idea for it! I wanted to put Potpourri inside it, and hang it in my entry way for when people come over for the holiday (I have the BEST view of fireworks..right from my front porch)! I am SURE I could of put little jawbreakers, or M&M's in there, but I wanted the fresh smell instead for this!!!

Here is my project:

Isnt that too cute? Here are the supplies I used:

Jaded Blossom Stamps: Celebrate America

Dies: Candy Charms and Banners Jaded Blossom

Paper: Recollections

Potpourri-Dollar Store

Misc: Red and Blue Twine (American Crafts), Scotch Quick Dry

OK all!! I hope you come back to check me out again at the end of this month!!

Hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'!

Welcome to Made Especially For You's 2 Year Blogoversary Blog Hop!

If you've come from Stephanie's blog, you're in the right place! If you just came across the hop, please start at the beginning over at Made Especially For You.

I have know Ashley for 2 years now! I was on the ME4U DT for a year, and I loved EVERY minute of it! I made new crafty friends for her, and I learned a lot! Ashley was so kind and took the time to help explain a BUNCH of blog info to me, seeing as it was my first DT that I was on! I will never forget her for that! When she said it was the ME4U 2 year anniversary, I wanted to pay if forward and be there for her! So, thank you so much for all you did Ashley! Enjoy this occasion!

Instead of having a theme for the hop, Ashley put together a bingo board full of some of her favorite crafty things and we were to choose at least 3 of them and create a project.
