"Make-It Monday" Banner Year

 Hello everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are all safe and healthy.  Did you find any time for creating?  My weekend was filled with kids and it was terrific!  Ever since I started watching Blue Bloods on Friday nights it has been my hope to someday have Sunday night dinners! I'm excited to say that it has been happening regularly since April.  This weekend I had a Saturday night AND a Sunday night family dinner...WHAT A TREAT!  I am so thankful for this blessing!

Well...it's Monday and I have another "Make-It Monday" Tutorial for you today! ENJOY the INSPIRATION!

"Make-It Monday" Forever Fern

Hello Everyone!  Hope you are all well and safe and had a wonderful weekend!  My internet has been out for over a week now and I haven't been able to blog.  For some reason, it's really hard to blog on my phone.  There used to be an app...but Blogger discontinued it (I guess).  I'm just not tech savy enough...and now I have a new goal.  I thought it was out because of the fires, but apparently my modem is always talking to my router and I need new equipment (arriving Thursday)...but at this very moment, they are communicating so I'm BLOGGING!  

I love the simplicity of this card...it's so  BEAUTIFUL and the colors are perfect!  What a great card this would be to mass produce and send to a bunch of folks you want to encourage!

Special Someone!!

Hello everyone!  Dang...it's another SMOKY & HOT day!  My neighbor and her husband are both fire firefighters and there is a crew sleeping in their front yard rightnow! Apparently there was a mix up at the hotel and rooms were not available for them. They're so tired and just want to sleep. They won't come get cleaned up in either of our showers (because they are sooooo dirty).  I wish they would...they'd sleep so much better if they were clean!  I did take them some chairs and some brownies and they should have rooms tonight!  I'm so grateful they're here and work so hard for our small little mountain town and surrounding areas!  

Anyway...today I want to share a card we made back in my July class.  It was small, but it's so wonderful to see those that can make it!

This card is made with the Special Someone stamp set and the Special Day dies. Isn't it cute?  I also used Layering Squares and the Stitched Shapes dies.  The colors I chose are Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry.  The Greenery embossing folder added GREAT texture!  

I just love this set...it offers lots of options!  I hope it INSPIRES you to do some creating! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful day!  Stay SAFE...stay COOL...stay WELL!!
