supposed to be

a little bit cooler today. I nice break considering the heat we've been having here.

Another simple butterfly card :) This is another Hero Arts butterfly. This one is actually a wood mounted stamp(!). Up until now, the only wood mounted stamps I had were my big background stamps. But I really like this and one other Hero Arts butterfly that was wood mounted, so I got them. Really glad I did--they are  so pretty :) I popped up the butterfly on foam squares. I debated awhile about adding a sentiment, but in the end I just went without.

Thanks for stopping by today!! Are you enjoying your summer break? Tomio's break from work starts this weekend. Yay :)

so far so good...

Today went pretty good for a Monday. Not too bad for a start of a new week. Even managed to get some stamping time in :)

Very simple for today's card. But I really like how it turned out. I used my new favorite butterflies with matching dies. They are from Hero Arts. So super easy to use! And yes, I used this sentiment again. Really, it just goes with any card.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a great Monday :)

sorry...

for the week of no posts :( Don't really know how that happened. Hoping this week will be a little better.

I really love this cute mug stamp :) I don't drink coffee. Or any other hot drinks for that matter. But  I love coffee stamps, so  I get them anyway.  hehe :)I used the matching die for the cup, but the hearts don't have any, so  I just trimmed them out by hand.

Thanks for stopping by today!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend. We went to see fireworks last night, and it's grocery shopping for today :)

another thank you.

You can never have too many thank you cards on hand, so when I'm not sure which kind I want to make, that is usually what I go with

I used that gorgeous sentiment from Sweet and Sassy stamps again. It actually came in a masculine set, but  I find it goes with just about anything :) The flower is from a new-to-me set from Hero Arts. *LOVE* how it comes with matching dies that are super easy to use. The cardstock is mocha from Hero Arts too.

Thanks for stopping by today!! It's another scorcher today here. Planning to spend some time stamping instead of cleaning and organizing today. Yay :)

thank you.

Crisp and clean for today. I really like these flowers-they are super fun to color.

I actually have the dies that go with them, but I just trimmed them out by hand here. I actually end up doing that fairly often since you have to die cut first and then stamp with these. If I don't have the card all planned out yet, I often just color and then trim. The pretty sentiment is from Sweet and Sassy stamps. I just got my first order from them, and I am very happy :) Definitely will be ordering from them again.

Thanks for popping by today! I hope you have a super day! It is broiling hot here today, so I plan to stay inside :)

Hello you.

I absolutely love this sentiment! I say it all the times to my kiddos, so it just makes me smile :)

And these are still probably my all time favorite butterflies. Although I have made a few cards with some new  butterflies I got that are super fun too, just haven't had the chance to photograph them yet.  I layered stamps for this card, starting with the lightest color and finishing with the dark brown.

Thanks for stopping by today!! I did manage to go through some more stuff in my closets and kitchen and came up with several  more bags to git rid of :) So thankful for Leah's help! She is such a cheerful helper and really makes the going-through-things-to-get-ready-for-a-move-to-a-whole-'nother-island-process so much better:) I hope you have an awesome day!!

thinking of you.

A simpler card today. compared to the others I have been posting lately.

I love wood grain backgrounds. They make me happy :) After deciding on that, I just chose some flower stamps and some colors, and it was finished pretty quickly. I like adding the pearls to these flowers, I think it add just the right amount of "pop". Oh, this wood grain stamp is from Wplus9, btw :)

Thanks SO much stopping by! I hope you have a super day. After we get our studies done here today, I plan to tackle our walk-in closet again. I'm actually seeing progress :)
