Good morning, Friends! I hope you all had a super weekend! We were in Golden on Saturday for a soccer game that the boys won! They do remain undefeated! Yes, this is only their third regular season game, but counting the pre-season tournament games, they haven't lost! And I think that is pretty impressive! What I was so excited about is that in the final seconds of Saturday's game, the other team shot a goal which would have tied the game but Nick saved it!! And that secured the win for our team!
Today's card is one that was inspired by my friend, Molly. She is in shoebox with me and she made a card that had a really cool layout. I tried my best to recreate it with my own products. My color scheme comes from the Spice Cake suite. I did use the stamp-a-ma-jig to help me line up the two-step stamps. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! I got to sleep in a little this morning - yeah! Well, actually I got to bed really late last night and I slept later because of that. Pat and Nick went camping yesterday. They took the tent and the canoe for fishing. Nick was SO excited! They wanted me to go, too. I do like to camp. But tent camping is NOT my thing anymore. Maybe five years ago. But at my age, I need running water and a comfy bed. So give me the Hilton and I will go camping - lol! Anyway, they will be back after lunch sometime. And then I will be able to sleep better after they are home.
Today's card is one that I made up last week. It's not one of my favorites but I liked the colors together. And I got to use some of the new ruffled ribbon. It is pretty easy! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! We made it safe and sound to my parents' house yesterday afternoon! It felt good to not be driving! It is supposed to be quite warm around here so I am not sure exactly what we will do today. Probably stay inside to stay cool!
Today's card is a simple one that is nothing special. I do like the way it turned out, though. I used the new hostess set called Simply Soft. I stamped the outline flower twice and colored them with markers. Then I wanted to create a soft outline around the images so I took my Sahara Sand marker and drew around the images. Then I took my blender pen to try and blend it all together. Well, it didn't quite work the way I wanted but I liked the effect just the same. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! I can't believe this is the last weekend of June! Nick and I will be leaving on Sunday to go to my parents house in Kansas! Nick is so excited! And so am I! His baseball team wants to do a scrimmage on Sunday, too, and Nick wants to play in that. So, right after it is over, we will leave and drive part way. The best of both worlds! Anyway, then on Friday, Pat will fly out to meet us and then we will all drive home on the 4th so that Pat can get back to work on Tuesday. It will be a quick trip but a very fun one! Nick is excited about doing the fireworks out there. Kansas has way better ones than Colorado - lol! The other exciting part is that my dad is retiring and we are having his party at the same time! Way to go Dad!!
Today's card was inspired by my friend, Becky. She had done one almost exactly like this for card class. I changed up the color a bit and the stamps. This stamp comes from the new hostess set called Simply Soft. I really love this set and you will be seeing more. The stamp is actually an outline stamp but I colored it all in with a marker to make it look like a solid image. I am very pleased with the outcome! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
