Botanical Blooms!

I have my monthly stamp-a-stack coming up this week. Beckie and I usually have 6 different cards to make plus a scrapbook layout. We try not to make the cards too labor-intensive. We want them to be able to get a lot made! This card uses the Sale-a-Bration set, Botanical Blooms. I made it so they can stamp whatever greeting they want. It could be an Easter, thank you, get well or a birthday card! And this also would be easy to jazz up by adding glitter, paper piercing or some cool rhinestone brads!

recipe

stamps: Botanical Blooms, A Good Egg

paper: Kraft, white, Red Riding Hood Red, Bella Rose DSP

ink: Kiwi Kiss, RRH Red

accessories: dimensionals, vintage brads

Spectacular twilight shuttle launch!

WOW! How amazing it was to be at Kennedy Space Center and see the launch so close! We had a great time and Sara and Katy loved it. I got some pretty good pics. The lighting wasn't real good because the sun was setting. The launch was at 7:43 pm, and we finally got home at 10:45 pm! I think all of Orlando came over to the coast to see this launch! Enjoy the photos! : )

Kristina's Color Inspiration #45

I finally got the chance to make a card for Kristina's Color Inspiration today! This was a super quick card!! I normally wouldn't used just dark colors, I think this screams for just a bit of red! I used the new Designer Series paper 'Walk in the Park' and stamp set 'Great Friend'. These items will be available April 1st in the new Spring Mini Catalog. Also used on the card is Whisper White card stock, Basic Black ink and Basic Gray Taffeta ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Space shuttle close-ups!

The launch has been put off for a few days, but someone set me these photos of the shuttle on the pad. Pretty cool!!

Shuttle Launch Tonight!

We get to go to the Space Shuttle launch tonight! Courtesy of my very good friend, Beckie and her husband (who works at the space center)! We are so excited and I plan to take lots of pictures and hopefully have them up for you tomorrow!

Have a good Wednesday!

UPDATE: Shuttle has been scrubbed until Thursday (hopefully!!)

UPDATE #2: Shuttle should go up on Sunday (HOPEFULLY!!)
