Hello Love ~ Sneak Peek

Hello friends!!  I feel like I've been away waaaaayyyyy to long and I miss all of you!  I was so happy to have some extra time to stamp this morning before the rest of the house woke up. 
I could not resist the cute hostess set Hello Love when I placed my pre-order a couple of weeks ago...it's so cute!!!!  And guess what?!?!?  Y'all only have a few more days to wait until you can get your hands on stuff from the new catty too...YIPPEE!!!
I love that this set coordinates with the Word Bubbles framelits! 
 
 And don't you love the plumb little birdie on the inside?!?!  He makes me smile :-)
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Whisper White, Moonlight DSP
Ink ~ Basic Gray, Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, Jet Black StazOn
Stamp Set ~ Hello Love (Hostess Set)
Other Supplies ~ Word Bubbles Framelits, Blender Pens
 
I'm hoping to re-join the blogging world on a more regular basis than I have the past couple of weeks.  Baseball season is winding down, school is almost out and I am just about done with my Display Board projects....yay!!!
 
Thanks for stopping by today!
 
Happy Stamping!

Celebrating 39 Years ~ Monday Montage





Hello and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!  I hope you are all enjoying each and every moment this weekend and doing something fun or relaxing...and don't forget stamping!  I know our Monday Montage crew got in some stamping this weekend and we are here to share it with you today!

Today my parents are celebrating their 39th wedding anniversary...Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!  My parents marriage has been a huge inspiration to me and my hubby...they give us so much to look up to!

I pulled out one of my favorite sets for their card...Everything Eleanor.  I {heart} this set! 
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Ink ~ Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight Blendabilities
Stamp Set ~ Everything Eleanor, Dictionary
Other Supplies ~ Pearl Basics Jewels, Crochet Trim, Denim Jean Ribbon
 
The new Blendabilities color beautifully on the pearls...I have found a new obsession!  And can I just say that I am sad to see the Crochet Trim and Denim ribbon go away :-(  These are two of my favorites...but the new ribbon is pretty amazing, so I think I'll live.
 
Now it's time to hop on over to Cathy's blog for another awesome creation...you're sure to love it!  Or if you prefer to hop backwards, you can head on back to Amy's project...she inspires me each and every week!  Either way, just make sure you make the whole loop and don't miss any of us.  And don't forget to leave us some love on our blogs...we love hearing from you!
 
  Thanks for hopping along with us today!
 
Happy Stamping!

Hello Winter

And I don't mean Winter the season...I mean Winter the dolphin!
Last month my family vacationed in Clearwater Florida, home of Winter the dolphin from the movie Dolphin Tale.  If you haven't seen it,  you must!  It's a great family movie...one of our favorites.  My boys were so excited to go to the aquarium and see everything just as it was on the movie.  My youngest still tells everyone he saw "Dolphin Tale" :-)
I got some fun pictures during our visit and used this months sketch over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration to create this fun layout in MDS.
If you've seen the movie, you will recognize the picture I used as my background paper...love doing this on my pages!
 
Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope to be back again this week with something else to share...I'm still knee deep in Display Board samples, but I'm on a roll and hope to have them done in a few more days :-)
 
Happy Stamping!

Now head on over and check out the rest of the creations from the design team. and don't forget to play along!
