All Things

Hello!

Today I made a card for the Ways To Use It challenge over at Splitcoast. We were to have a sentiment be our focal point. I used this beautiful digital image called All Things by McMahon Five Designs. You can find this image at www.mcmahonfivedesign.com. I also added a sweet butterfly sugar pick from Jillibean Soup. The ribbon looks blue, but it is really eggplant envy to match the butterfly wings. I think I had my camera on the wrong setting! :(

My youngest son got the three Hunger Games books for Christmas and as you may know the movie opened today. Apparently it has broken box office records already. That may be in our plans for the weekend. My oldest son was hired for his first job the other day, so he will be attending orientation tomorrow. I can't believe he is old enough to have a job, not to mention old enough to be starting college next year! We are very proud of our two boys!!! They are both on the high school track team, so my husband and I will be busy attending the oh so loooong track meets! I wouldn't trade it for anything!!!

Have a super weekend and thanks so much for stopping by today!

You can find this cutie at www.mcmahonfivedesign.com. I received my copic order in the mail over the weekend. I need to practice with them but I did use them on my card today. The picture looks like I didn't blend the colors at all, but in person the flower looks totally blended....I promise!!

Hello again!

I also used this very sweet stamp called Mavis has a Daisy from Stamping Bella. CUTE!!!

I was out at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota over the weekend. My oldest son (17) was diagnosed with diabetes at age two. Every year there is a walk to raise awareness and to raise funds for a cure. I ALWAYS stop at the Archivers when we are there! I picked up some fun new goodies! One of the things I bought was the decorative heart pin that I used on my card today. Isn't it soooo much fun adding to your already way to big collection of accessories?! I also ordered my first set of copics the other day! I cannot wait for them to arrive!!! Oh well, onto the card recipe.
