Heart-tini

Last week I used one of Stamping Bellas for a picture frame. These SB's were on my wish list and a dear friend sent me a few images. How cute are they? ;)
The heart-tini sentiment is part of a set from Impress Stamps (if I remember correctly - there is no marking on the block).
Have a great week!

STRESS

This day can't end fast enough for me! So what am I doing to relieve stress? Making a little frame for my daughter's bridal shower for the sweets table. LOL Only I would decide to create with tornadoes dropping all around me! We are waiting to see if one touched down 20 minutes ago in the middle of our city and we are bracing for more tonight.
Anywhooooo...this was a Stamping Bella that I had to have on a recent mini trip to Archiver's. Guys were outside waiting on us, so it was a quick trip inside. :(

Flowers for you

All my creative energy has been elsewhere lately, but a recent trip to the new Archiver's in Nashville made me want to spend time stamping. I picked up some beautiful papers for my daughter's bridal shower and a so so cute Stamping Bella that I had to have!!!
This card has a mini card on top. Untie the ribbon behind the image and a sentiment is inside. I haven't made a card like that in YRS!
Hope you are safe where you are. We were in the danger area the other day with tornadoes and possibly another round Friday afternoon. Oh how I hate this time of year.

Vintage Tilda

Today I decided to try "vintage". Not something that is familiar to me, as I tend to lean toward bright/vivid colors. My friend, Tammi, however is awesome at vintage.
After picking what I hope are papers with a vintage feel and cutting out the little envelope from the paper, the colors seemed a little "washed out" so I went with the deep burgundy color from the paper for the heart.
During the yrs., there is a great collection of heart charms at my house and this cute little xoxo was a perfect little finishing touch.

new camera

I finally broke down and bought a camera! It was inexpensive and came with a memory card and carry case. It's not the best but it gets the job done better than the iPhone was so it's all good.
No challenge - just the pure joy of creating. This is an adorable stamp that I received from a dear friend. She also sent me the paper - which is just the cutest. Of course I had to incorporate my Cricut in here somehow - so he needed a tree. lol
So happy to be back on the creative trail! :)

FBW

Well my physical therapy is helping me so much that I decided to tackle another FBW.

FBW - Bye Bye Winter

Well we've had virtually no winter here - but this is the first challenge or card I've made in over 2 months, so I'm happy that it is done and won't sweat the details. ;)
