ICS Blog Hop - Friendly Wishes

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the May edition of the Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop!  My friends and I have some great ideas to share with you tonight, all around the theme "It's A Girl Thing!".  Be sure to leave some love for the blogs as you hop around.  

I decided to go with a Mother's Day card.  It is definitely a girl thing, and coming up so fast!

Here is my card:

I used many retiring products on my card.  Remember, accessories, tools, and consumable items that are on the retiring list are only available while supplies lasts.  Retiring stamp sets are guaranteed through May 22nd, and then will only be while supplies lasts.  Be sure to get you retiring list order in soon, before your favorite items are gone for good!

Next up on the hop tonight is my friend Jennifer.  I am sure she has something fabulous to share, so be sure to go check it out!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great night!

Friday Favorites: Embossing Folders

Hello everyone!  TGIF!  I hope you had a good week!  I am in San Diego, CA this weekend for Stampin' Up!'s OnStage Local event.  I am so very excited to be here!  I will spend today as a volunteer helping to setup for our events, and then tonight I am so happy to have earned an invitation to CentreStage.  This is a dinner and training event for demonstrators who have earned the title of Silver Elite and above.  

I can't wait to share some fun pictures from this trip with you next week!

Today at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration we have another edition of Friday Favorites.  This week the design team and I are sharing our favorite embossing folders.

My favorite embossing folder right now is the Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Here is my card:

I love this folder, and really think it can go with any project you are working on.

That is all I have to share for today.  Be sure to check out the Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration Blog for more embossing folder favorites!

Thanks for stopping by!

International Highlight Blog Hop

Hello everyone!  

I wanted to take a minute and thank those of you who voted in Kylie's International Highlights challenge I participated in a few weeks ago.  This was the card I shared for that event:

 I am so happy to have been voted into the Top 10.  Today Kylie, and the top 10 winners of the highlight are all participating in a blog hop.  We are once again sharing Get Well ideas.  

This is my card:

Last time, I had so much fun with a Fun Fold, I decided to try it again.  This time I have a double-z fold card, combined with a card-in-a-box.  

I really enjoyed using the Falling Flowers stamp set to make this field of flowers.  I also found a new love in the coordinating May Flowers framelits.  I am really late to the game in getting this bundle.  This was my first time using it.    Can't wait to get it out again!

Next up on our hop is Petra Tailor, from Austrailia.  I'm sure she has something great to share!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Moroccan Celebration

Hello everyone!

I can't believe it is November already.  I love the fall, especially November.  People seem to happier, and friendlier - and we get to see more family members this time of year.

Today, I'm sharing a celebration card.  

This fun "Celebrate Your Day" card features the Designer Tin of Cards Stamp set, and also the Moroccan Designer Series paper.  I love the rich colors, and fun patterns in that DSP pack.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
