6/5/2023 1 Comment 21! So Glad You Were Born My son turns 21 today! I am so glad he was born!
Here's another shaker card I made. I am really liking these. They are fun and not hard to do! And look confetti sprinkles as the shaker stuff! Ink blending over gold embossed balloons and sentiment then cut the 21 out all on a teal card (he likes green/teal!) So hard to believe he's 21. I love the young man he has become. Happy birthday, son!

5/30/2023 0 Comments You Got This!A couple of weeks ago I was invited to a practice thesis presentation for a high school senior. I had never been to one before and wanted to support her in any way I could so I went. And I took chocolate, because doesn't everyone need chocolate when practicing for a presentation-of-their-life-up-until-this-point? (I am 100% certain she will continue to give presentations in her life and that she will also knock them outta the park just like she did for the practice and her real senior thesis one). Anyway, back to the card.... I was trying a stencil technique I learned in that #Stenciled2 class from @jennifermcguireink and @starofmay back in March except I was trying to use colors I don't use often. Orange and blue supposedly go together but hmm. Good news orange (we will pretend it is burnt orange) is the color of this student's future university and blue (navy embossing) is the color of her high school. So all tied together even though that wasn't the plan. Ha! And look... getting better at my brush lettering too. Practice on every envelope....    Graduation cards for our friends in the class of 2023 from LASA, St. Stephen's, Regents, and Austin High. Congratulations!!!      I volunteer at my kid's high school and work a lot with the admin including the principal, academy director, assistant principals, counselors and office staff. One of my favorite people, our academy director, retired this year. I will surely miss him and his laid back, carefree attitude. Everything he did, he did for the kids but he did it with humor, music and coffee! There was always classic rock playing around him and he always had a coffee in his hand. I wish him all the coffee he can imbibe in retirement and hope he keeps playing that music all day long. 100% copied/cased Laura Bassen's card off the simonsaysstamp blog here: https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/blog/amore-laurafadora-fading-stars/. 100%.

 Yellow, y'all. Not in my vocabulary.
Hello. Hope you are having a Beautiful Day. 5/4/2023 0 Comments Magical, indeed. Just saying hello!
Fascinated with Lindy's Magical Powders... they are so colorful! Remember the cookies and cookie sheet card from a few weeks ago, where I talked about how 5 moms and I hosted these happy hours? Well, I *needed* to make cards for those 5 wonderful ladies, too!
I love these cards so much. I have looked and looked for cocktail stamps, sentiments and even dies for a long time. I am pretty picky about what I wanted and these Newton Nook stamps pair well with MFT sentiments! And who doesn't like a little glossy accent? I LOVE THIS SENTIMENT... perfect for thanking my co-hosts for entertaining me with such a crazy idea. Cheers! 4/21/2023 0 Comments Stencil Class full circle.
