April is coming...

Hey, Y'all! OK, I feel like I have been a little MIA lately, but I'm here... I'm creating and crafting and filling lots of orders! It's been busy, but a wonderfully good busy! Lot's of new stationery designs are coming to my web site soon, so I will let you know when they are ready for view and a generous coupon will fly your way too! Perfect timing for Mother's Day and graduation gifts!

Today, I'm gunna share this little card I made with scraps. The flower tiles are glazed with acrylic to make them shiny and hard. The button is GCD Studios, from the Melody Ross line. I like this card 'cause I can use it for anything... there isn't a sentiment, so I can quickly stamp one inside for the appropriate occasion! It's gorgeous today... And tomorrow, APRIL is here! I have lots of things planned for April: my birthday, a few giveaways, my anniversary, Wrigley's birthday, a new niece will be born, a couple of nieces' birthdays, and lots of pretty projects! Whew! You don't want to miss a single day, so sign up to FOLLOW me! Sometimes, it's okay to be a follower!

*Tomorrow (April 1) will be the first GIVEAWAY! Sign in as a Follower to be entered in the drawing!
*Lots of scrap layouts will be up this week! Yay! They are good ones!

Have a great day!

New Caardvarks Challenge!

It's time for another new challenge over at Caardvarks! This time, the challenge is to use lace on your project. I don't work much with lace, but it just so happens my mom does and a while back, she gave me lots of scraps! So, here's what I made:

The lace is vintage, so I have no idea where it came from, and was probably my Grandmother's before it was my mom's! I love the look of it with that October Afternoon paper!

Supplies: Cardstock: Papertrey Ink; Patterned Paper: October Afternoon; Inchie Tiles: Inchie Arts, LLC; Inks: Impress; Ribbon: May Arts; Stamps: Impress (flower) and Anna Griffin (sentiment); Other: Button, thread and lace.

My Boys...

Are now B A L D!

Stephen and Mac got their heads shaved on Saturday at the Annual St. Baldrick's Day event at Mac's school. Together, they raised over $1,600 to help with childhood cancer research, and shaving their heads to show support for the kids in the fight for their life. I'm so proud of both of them!

BEFORE:

AFTER:

A couple more pictures from the event (I couldn't resist...)

Getting shaved, lots of hair was taken off!

Mac, the 7 year old kiddo with the BIGGEST heart of anyone I know. He was so proud that he raised as much money as he did. Look at that face... precious!

Thanks to all who donated and came out to the event to cheer them on! Now, just hoping for either warmer weather or rapid hair growth!

Friday! Woo-hoo! It's beautiful here in Louisville, KY and the CARDS play tonight! Give us a win, Pitino! Lots to do today, so I am in for a quick post!

Here is the card I did for today's post at 2 Cute...

Super easy, quick and fresh... just like SPRING!

Lastly, to toot my own horn... my Coffee Layout (in the post below) was chosen as a Sketchy Thursdays Fave! Check out my new, cool badge on the right!

Have a great day!
