Throwback Thursday: Eight Glorious Years!

Hello, my friends!  Tuesday was Jordan and my's eight-year anniversary!  It's hard to believe that eight years, two kids, and a cat later has flown by so quickly!  But it's been an amazing time!  Some of our friends joke that J and I are the "perfect" couple and I'm quite proud of that fact.


We do have a fantastic marriage and we really owe that to our Lord, Jesus Christ, for that!  I thank God each and every day for blessing our marriage and our unity together and we strive to always put Him first and trust in His plan and His path.  I believe that is why we have the perfect marriage!

I made J a fun anniversary card using my very favorite retired Framelits, the Love Notes Framelits.  I will never, ever, ever part with them (just like I will never part with J!) and so I thought they were a fitting use for his card.

Do you like "miniature" things?  I think that anything "mini" size are awesome!!  It amps up the cuteness factor x100!  The Love Notes Framelits are no exception to that rule!  There is a die that cuts out a mini envelope!  I mean...seriously!  It's. Too. Cute.  And that was the focal point for my card.


I die-cut the envie from a piece of the Sending Love Designer Series Paper (because I hoarde paper) and put that on top of a watercolored background using just the Real Red Watercolor Pencil and Aqua Painter.  Couldn't get much easier.  I used the heart from the Love Notes Framelits and the "love" sentiment from Sunshine Wishes Thinlits.  Topped it off with some Basic Rhinestone Jewels and Black Rhinestone Jewels and my card was complete!

Don't have the Love Notes Framelits?  That's OK!  You can use other sets of Framelits for the heart (Up & Away Thinlits or Wood Crate Framelits, for example) and use the Envelope Punch Board to create a small envelope (be on the lookout---maybe that'll be an upcoming Tutorial Tuesday!).  So, there are many ways to re-create this card for someone you love!

Get out there and send the love!

Tutorial Tuesday: Strawberry Pie

I am a little bit sad that Sale-A-Bration 2018 is coming to a close this month.  Stampin' Up! has had some amazing products to give away this year and I have seen some really creative uses for extending their life! Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs is no exception!  I saw her use the  Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder  and make a pie card!  It was so stinking cute, that I just had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it and share my interpretation with my Papercrafting Passionista Friends!  PS: The Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!!!  So you can get this adorable embossing folder with a $100 purchase (it's a part of the Blossoming Basket Bundle, which is a $100 Reward) and  the embossing folder is carrying over to the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog!  So you'll be a step ahead of the new products!  Wow! Here's what I used to make this sweet card: Supply List: Fruit Basket Bun

Tutorial Tuesday: VIA Coffee Holder

Are you following me on Pinterest yet??  If not, please do!  There's a bunch of amazing goodness there!  One of which, is an extremely popular pin---my VIA Coffee Holder. I enjoy trying new things and one day, while wondering the aisles of my local Target, I stumbled upon these new little packages of coffee, called "VIA".  It's by Starbucks and they are instant coffee singles.  Whhaaat!!?  Naturally, (because I'm a victim of marketing) I bought some.  Then I thought, These are so cute!  I want to do something with them and my Coffee Cafe Suite!   After that, my VIA Coffee Holder/Folder (whatever you want to call it) was born. I imagine you can see why this is not just my  most re-pinned pin, but it's pretty popular on Pinterest, in general.  Woot! Now, my friends, I will show you how to make your own with my Tutorial Tuesday! Supply List: Cardstock (I used Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, and Crumb Cake for the samples above) Check out the Coffee

Tutorial Tuesday: Fold Over Gift Box

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!  I hope that your week is going well!  Can you believe that August is half-way over??  I have seen lots of Social Media posts about kids already going back to school; the kids in my area go back next week!  Eek!  I imagine that means that there's a lot of last minute shopping, meal-planning, and organization happening for many households.  (Or all households, really.  I mean, everyone has shopping, meal-planning, and organization to do!) Well, I'd like to share with you a quick and easy 3D project that you may be able to utilize for this busy Back-to-School Rush!  I shared it with a group of ladies a couple weeks ago at a Crop Event and it was huge hit! This multi-purpose Gift Box is super versatile!  You can use it if you want to present your kiddo's new teacher with a little summin'-summin' to start the year off, as a special way to present a home-baked cookie treat to a loved one in their lunchbox, or if you need a vessel to hold some
