Three for Thursday...

Don't you just love this color? Its Bayberry! It reminds me of summer. It picks me up when I am down. Its makes me laugh. It just loves me... Its so versatile!

I made some notecards the other day. Cards that are blank that I can slip in my stash at the office for any occasion or tie up with ribbon for a quick gift.

Its the 5 petal punch with Whisper White. The scalloped edge punch also in Whisper white, added some Bayberry ribbon to the Basic Black layer, popped the flowers on and compete! I did use my Mat pack and pierced the flower inside. For the inside, I colored white brads Bayberry with a marker.

I did it again with Certainly Celery.



And Elegant Eggplant

Nice group of cards. I wanted to use the Celery and Eggplant since I haven't touched them in a while.


Have a great day!

Cards for Troops

In celebration of Americas birthday, I have decided that I would put a box together for the Troops. There are quite a few organizations that gather cards for the troops, send them overseas (to loads of places) for all service members to have at their disposal. Its a great cause and honestly what does it hurt. I know that simple is better then the weight of the card is light enough - postage wouldn't be an issue. So ... I started some card making... and the purpose of them is for the troops... all kinds, holidays included. I just couldn't wrap my arms around Christmas in July, but I will soon.

Thank you to all the service members (present and past) that have made this country what it is today... bless you!

You wish to donate to the cause as well- here are two sites that I am familiar with -

Hope your Fourth was spectacular!
