FMS146 A Hi There!

First card/project in over 18 days!  It was so hard being gone and knowing several new sets and items were sitting unopened in a box that came while I was away.  This is one set I have been enabled to buy by fellow demos like Amy O'Neill and Justin Krieger!  Love the Blackberry Bliss, so started with that color and found scraps of DSP hanging around my cutter and went on from there!

This will be a card I am sending out to my Mom this week!

Have a wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by!

The Last Two Weeks

What a whirl wind 2 weeks it has been!  Amanda and I left on July 11th for the Dominican Republic.  We went to minister to the missionaries coming there for a retreat from all over the Americas.  Amanda was working with the 3 year old putting on a Vacation Bible school.  I was doing Bible studies and Activities with the 95 teens hanging with us.  The resort was amazing and the views were breathe taking!

Here is a view from my chair relaxing on the beach:

On Saturday the 12th, we celebrated Amanda's 19th birthday!  We had dinner in the steak restaurant that night.

Sunsets were amazing in pinks and purple! 

Another view of the beach near sunset!

Another highlight was hearing David Platt speaking to the youth and then allowing them to ask questions after! 

Here I am with 3 of my new friends on picture night! 

I had a wonderful week serving a wonder God and was so blessed by ministering to so many incredible people and loved making so many new friends!

Have a blessed Sunday!  I will be back tomorrow with projects!

Thanks for stopping by!

Amanda's Cupcake Birthday!

My daughter is celebrating her 19th birthday today and she is the reason I bought this stamp set!  She loves cupcakes and peace signs.  I decided to stay with the cupcakes only for this card but when she ships off to college again real soon, she will be receiving other cards using this stamp set!

Happy 19th birthday my girl!  Love you so much!

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh My Goodies!

These are the bags I decorated with a tag for my card class guest this week! I bought the printed bags at Michael's Craft store and added cute tags using the Oh My Goodies stamp set!  I only thought of food items when bought the stamp set but when I went to make these tags, I realized that their cards they are taking home are goodies, too!




Have a blessed Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!
