Let your Dreams take Flight!

With all that is happening in the news lately sometimes you just need to disconnect. My favorite paranormal romance author recently released another book to the Black Dagger Brotherhood. If you are into seriously hot vampires, you have to read this series. Talk about major get a way from reality!!! You need to start from Dark Lover by JR Ward. Don't get me started on her Fallen Angels series too!

I like my books and movies the same. Never to close to reality.It drives my family nuts when they want to go see movies like Zero Dark Thirty and I want to see OZ. LOL!!

Onto a little card sharing, I love Saturated Canary Images. I'm sure if you've been around my blog you have seen quite a bit of them recently and I love this digi! I matted her on MME paper and her sentiment is from Greeting Farm. I see that she's into Paranormal romances too, LOL!!

 

 

Hope you have a great Saturday. Today I am shopping for First Communion dresses and I hope the search is quick since we are expecting rain all day. BUT I have to tell you, right now it's gorgeous outside. It wouldn't be the first time the weather changed making the weathermen look like they have egg on thier face. Tough Job!

It's Spring at Your Next Stamp!

 Happy Friday! I know I have been a little slow in posting lately. Well I have been playing catch up at home and work and I hate to admit it I lost a little of my Mojo. But no worries a few new purchases of  stamps and paper and I am excited to say my Mojo is returning and I have been coloring these last few days. Now I have too many ideas racing through my head! Which is a good thing because next week Your Next Stamp is bringing you a new release this month! I should say that is what brought my Mojo back because what is coming is soooo stinkin cute and fun! You are going to love it!

 Today I bring you our FUN FRIDAY challenge. The theme is Spring Fling and I bring you soft spring colors and Ellie! This is the newly released Ellie loves Birds. She is just so sweet! I matched her up with Boho Chic paper and colored of course in Copic pens.

I hope she inspires you to come join us for FUN FRIDAY and stop by our YNS Blog to see  what the rest of the Design team has to inspire! Don't forget to come back on Tuesday to start the week off with a Sneak Peek!

Have a great Friday!

A Perfect Spring Day!

Hello friends. Well I am back from vacation and from the hospital. Yes, I said hospital. The odd weather days during vacation sent me to the hospital with an upper respiratory infection. But good news, I am on the mend. In fact, today is about the first day that I didn't really cough as much. It is a perfect Spring Day. I finally got to return to work too and honestly I am just worn out.  I can't wait til my energy returns too. I'm dying to sit down and color. I have thank you cards to create for my fabulous nurses. They were truly beautiful ladies with big hearts.

I'm sharing two quick cards with you today. I made them a while ago but it wasn't time to show off Spring/Summer like cards in the middle of winter. Do you do that? Sometimes I just want to color a specific image not related to any time of year. That was this. I think it was Thanksgiving and I was making these. I hope you like them!

As always, I love to hear what you think. Hope you have a great week!
