Want to know the reason for...

...the long absence between posts? My husband, children and I have been working on a new patio! It was tons of work, but well worth it in the end!

We designed it and built it ourselves, so I was still being creative, just in a different way!

Thank You Card For Softball Coach

My 13 year old daughter decided that she wanted to play park district softball for the first time this year. She had two wonderful coaches and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for her!

To thank them, I made each of them this card with a little gift inside.

Colors: Black, White, Orange

Stamps: Softball, In The Game - Play Ball

Tools: Diamond Plate embossing folder

Beautiful Sunset

As you know, I love the techniques that Michelle Zindorf teaches on her site. Well, here is another one. I didn't have the stamps she used, but I made do with what I had on hand.

Colors: Honey, Vineyard Berry, Barn Red, Chocolate

Stamps: Beautiful Things, French Fleurs (bird - retired)

Accessories: Silver Brads and White grograin ribbon

Papers: Felicity paper pack (retired)

Stamps: Cupcake Sprinkles, Eat Cupcakes
