Celebrate Good Times TODAY!

Celebrate Life

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. - Oprah Winfrey

It seems to have been quite some time since I have sat down to 'create'. Sure, I've made many beautiful works of art using Close To My Heart's wonderful Workshop on the Go brochures...but it has been a while since I've just gathered some products and started creating with no guidance from other sources. Goodness...it feels good...even if I've only managed to create this one card...LOL!

I love putting all my heart & soul into a project...the more involved...the better.

The pattern for this card came from Jeanette Lynton's Card Confidence Program™ Originals™ - Handcrafted Cards Made Simple. It is called A Message Secured™ and is a 5" x 7" card.

Here are a few close ups of the focal point using My Acrylix™ Celebrate Life stamp set.

I used Liquid Glass on the butterfly and Sparkles on the flowers.

I chose to embellish the inside of this card as well. It seems that many stampers are now doing this...so I thought I'd give it a try. It sure does finish the card off nicely.

The papers used for this project were from the new CTMH Daydream Level 2 Paper Packet in Blush, Lilac Mist, and Sweet Leaf. I also used some White Daisy Textured Cardstock.

I know exactly who will be receiving this card, but I can't tell you yet. :O) I'll let that be a surprise!

Thank you for visiting and may you have a blessed weekend,

Treats for My Sweets

I posted earlier in the week on Facebook that I was making valentine's for my two girls. I had to laugh at all the comments I received from other moms that said they were 'bad mommies' for not making their valentines going out to get 'store bought' valentines. That's ok! LOL!

I kept mine VERY simple this year as I had to make 50 of them since Bevyn has started daycare and then Caitlyn's class has grown to 32 total students between the two classes...that's a lot for our little town.

I had purchased these little glassine bags in the fall and I got the idea for this project from Mish Mash's blog (see link in sidebar). I inserted a mini bag of M&M's into each bag and then created the scalloped circle tag to glue dot on the front of the bag. So simple!

Last night my dear sweet husband came home with a valentine goodie bag of bath products, chocolate covered strawberries, and a bottle of wine for me. So sweet of him!

I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day as well!

Sweet blessings,

Happy Valentine's Day!
