Simple Saturday: Daisy Birthday

This Simple Saturday Creation was made part because I was exhausted and up suuuuuper late crafting and part because I wasn't sure what kind of a card to make for a 100-year old lady that I don't know!  Haha!

I bake cookies every quarter for an organization called the Iowa Cookie Crumbs (check out more about the Crumbs here) and they wanted to recognize Iowa and America's oldest female Marine---Elleen Wheatley.  So, of course, I wanted to make a special card for such a special lady!!

Here's what my sleepy-brain came up with:


With just a basic card base out of Night of Navy Cardstock, some Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper, a little bit of Whisper White Cardstock, and some ribbon/sparkle, the card turned out great!  I love sentiments that take Center Stage on a project and I love pretty paper that needs nothing more than itself to look great!

I stamped the Stylized Birthday stamp onto the Whisper White Cardstock in Night of Navy Ink (to coordinate with the DSP and the card base) and finished it off with the 3/8" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (Night of Navy) and a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

Let me take just a second to tell you how much I love that Crinkled Seam Ribbon!  I seriously want to own it in all of the colors!  (Check out the Night of Navy Color up-close here and see the other three yummy colors below!)  It's so easy to use, it's gorgeous tied in a bow or a knot (and I am not a knot-maker, usually!)  It's just stunning ribbon!  Get some now!  You'll thank me later!  Promise.  :)

Anyhoo, I am quite pleased with the elegance and simplicity of this card for Ms. Elleen.  I'm so excited to recognize her and wish her the very best on her special day!

If you'd like to send Elleen a card for her 100th birthday (it's August 26th), just shoot me a message and I'll pass the information on to you!

Happy Weekend!

Top 10 Tuesday: 12 Days of Christmas Movies

Well, so instead of a Top 10, I'm changing it to a Top 12!  Because I love The Twelve Days of Christmas and I love Christmas movies and why not combine both together to make it 12 Days of Christmas Movies!?  I suppose we each all have our own opinions as to what Christmas Movies are *must-haves* on our Watch List, but I would like to think there are some that just generally required, by public agreement.  So, here's my Top 12 Days of Christmas Movies List, complete with a FREE Printable so you can make this a Holiday Bucket List Item, if you'd like!  I'd love to hear if your favorite movie made the cut or not! OH---and one more thing---these movies are certainly not listed in an specific order, they are more in the order in which I may or may not have already watched them... (#SorryNotSorry!) 12.  The Santa Clause (1994) When this movie first came out, I was totally entranced by the interpretation of the North Pole, courtesy of Disney Magic, that I almost bel

Lent 2020: Day Two

Today's post is brought to you by...COFFEE.  I'm not going to lie, I really did consider giving up coffee for Lent, but when I mentioned it to one of my best friends, his response was "well, I'll see you in 40 days!"  I was kind of shocked at his lack of support, but then I read a post that was shared with me regarding Lent and some "food for thought" and one of the bullet points read "Don't give up coffee. Jesus will forgive you, but your family might not."  Well---I heard God loud and clear on that one.  Don't give up coffee.  And I'm so very glad I did not. See today, I had a TON of things to accomplish.  We're gearing up for a big weekend and I had quite the laundry list to do.  Not only was my laundry list (and my laundry basket) huge, but I didn't sleep well last night.  I had a very restless husband, so I put myself out on the couch.  Which wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly great, either.  So I already

Podcast Episode 4: Accountability

How many of you feel like you're on a never-ending hamster wheel, just running and running and running?  Do you blame the wheel for moving too fast or too slow?  Do you blame the cage for not having any space?  Or do you figure out that you need to stop, get off the wheel and get out of the cage to endless space? I think we all have those seasons in our lives where we easily blame the wheel or the cage.  And the difference between staying on the wheel and blaming it for staying on it and stopping, getting off and getting OUT is our ability to take accountability. Take a listen to this week's podcast and let me know if it inspires you to stop running on the wheel and instead, figure out how to stop, get off the wheel, and get out of the cage.
