Hey there,

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! Nothing eventful happened for me, just hung out with family and friends. Today I want to share a card with you all, it was supposed to be up for Mother's Day but I never got to it, so it can be for next year or it can be a Congrats for a new mom. I used the super cute Jasmine image from InStyle Stamps and I pair it up with my favorite S.E.I. Paper and my two favorite colors, purple and green.

Check it out! Enjoy!!!

InStyle Stamps May Color Challenge

Hey there,

Sorry for the short post but I'm at my graduation!! This is the InStyle stamps color challenge.

Edited to Add:

Sorry about my very short post, I started my card Friday evening and I had it all put together minus the coloring and then I went to my roomates graduation at 6pm and then we did dinner and I got home at 11pm and I knew I needed to finish my card but I also knew that I needed to get to bed to get up early enough for my graduation. I had to get up at 6:30am to get ready for my 8:30am graduation. I am the worst morning person ever, I don't get up for anything so going to bed was essential. I did do a little coloring and then this morning I finished coloring, took the picture (which I must appologize needs to be retaken) and I made this short post. Needless to say I was supposed to be at Arco Arena for graduation at 7:45am and I was a little late but no big deal, I still graduated!! So on to my post!

Today is the InStyle Stamps Saturday Color Challenge. Our inspiration for todays color challenge is this gorgeous photo:

I looked at this photo and immidiatly noticed the blues and oranges and then the 5-Petal flowers so I went with it.

Enjoy!!!

Be back later to finish my post.

Head on over to the InStyle Stamps blog to check out what the other DT members created using this weeks inspiration!!

First Kiss Anniversary Card

Hey there,

Yesterday my parents celebrated 33 years of being married. What an amazing accomplishment, if I must say!!! Now a days you don't see much of this, so this makes me very proud!!! I'm so glad to have two parents that love each other as mine do, and I have witnessed this for the past 22 years. They have been great role models and they have taught me everything I know about love and how to love someone else. I couldn't ask for two better parents!! Happy Anniversary!!!

Today I want to share with you the card that I made them. I used Sarah Kays image First Kiss, I thought it was just so cute, and I love this Cosmo Cricket paper and I thought it went very well with the image and it's nuatral.
