Congrats!

Last post of the early morning.  This cutie is for our nanny Hannah.  She graduated college last weekend and we couldn't be prouder of her.  Such a great example for the girls.  We have the summer with her and then it will be time to figure out a new routine for our family again. 

I used mighty oak again.  I am loving the PTI MIM debossing challenge and with this set it is pure butter LOL!  I couldn't be more excited the way this turned out.  I don't use purple frequently, so this was a lot of fun to whip together!

It's a good life!

Any Hero Card

Have you ever written an any hero card?  I have before and felt compelled to do it again yesterday.  Operation Write Home had a great blog hop and challenge over the weekend to write some any hero cards.  It is such a great thing to express gratitude!

I used mighty oak again.  I am loving the PTI MIM debossing challenge and with this set it is pure butter LOL!  I couldn't be more excited the way this turned out.  It was fun to think of this card in a masculine setting.  I am busting out a lot of sets that have been unloved.  I like it when it all comes together.

It's a good life!

Cece's Brithday

Making a card for the mini diva is always a task.  She is at the stage where she wants to be with me all of the time, so trying to surprise her is nearly impossible.  She is REALLY into pink right now and was so impressed with her card that she made I had to whip up a version just for her.

Road less traveled

Why the sudden rush of cards on my blog you ask?  Izzy just had her tonsils and adenoids taken out on Wednesday.  When you pair that with Memorial Day weekend you have a great mix of creative time. 

This cutie was created for the new MIM challenge and also the SSS Wednesday travel challenge oh and the SSS Monday artsy stamp challenge.  This is as artsy as I get with a funky tree, so I am submitting it.  I was happy to bust out the new to me Mighty Oak stamp set.  This is your warning that I have a lot of ideas for this challenge and a free night ahead so there will be more fun cards soon.  LOL!

It's a good life!

Cece's MIM creation

Well here it is.  I had this debossed ready for a MIM creation when I was working on the card I will show you next.  Cece busted up and wanted to have it.  She needs to make some thank you cards for her upcoming birthday, so it worked. 
She even wrote on the inside already.  Love it!

It's a good life!

Treasure from cleaning the desk

I am sure you have all noticed by now that I am a PTI addict LOL!  Well the panel that I stamped over was from a MIM challenge long ago.  I was cleaning my desk and found it today.  Thought it would be fun for the May blog hot.  I used different shades of melon and aqua.  The heart is a fun hand made glossy and wink of stella creation.  I do love this life!

It's a good life!

Melon and Aqua CAS card

This was such a fun CAS card to put together for the May blog hop.  A little masking and some fun neglected PTI stamps and boom we have instant fun.  I am thinking this is going to go to my boss how is a guy.  Do you think this will fly? 

It's a good life!

Smile!

This is for two PTI challenges.  The MIM and Aqua and melon blog hop challenge.    I liked being able to blend the colors for the water color background challenge.  This is one of my first cards with a new to me stamp set say it with style.  I am late to this party, but glad I joined LOL!

It's a good life!

Melon and Aqua

This is for two PTI challenges.  The MIM and Aqua and melon blog hop challenge.  This is a CASed card from Christina, boy do I miss her contributions to PTI!  I liked being able to blend the colors with the water color background challenge.  LOVE this sentiment from SSS the bottom is hard to read, it says that's kind of magical LOL!!! 

It's a good life!

MIM Artsy Watercolor Backgrounds

Well I am back after a long blog hiatus.  Good news is that I was still creating during that time, must not blogging about it for some reason.  This beauty is for this weeks MIM challenge found here.  I loved creating with this loose background effect.

It's a good life!
