Beauty of Friendship Tutorial

Hello everyone and WELCOME Friday...YAY!!  I hope you've had a terrific week and an even better weekend!  I have a few of my adult children coming up the mountain for a visit on Sunday.  Even better is we'll also be getting together on Monday, the 10th as it is the second anniversary of my son, Adam's death at just 16.  I miss him so much and wonder what he would be doing now.  It will be so nice to have everyone that can make it here, sharing a meal, sharing memories, sharing tears and sharing love....I am blessed!  

I had a few team members up for ONTOUR, which was a Stampin' Up! online event.  I had a couple of make-n-takes for them to create with new products in the catalog and I want to share one with you today!  I also used it as my submission to a monthly tutorial group I participate in!  I LOVE this new bundle, the designer paper is so pretty and I LOVE the new Tailor Made Tags Dies!!  I hope it inspires you to create!

Snail Mail Tutorial

Hello there!!  I hope life is treating you well!  I am so thankful for days that go smoothly and for sunshiny days! It's been beautiful here and I'm totally enjoying it!  I hosted a four day retreat this past weekend (hence my MIA) AND ran the snack bar at our first baseball game last Friday.  The retreat was wonderful...lots of laughing, cooking, eating and creating!  The snack bar was terrific too.  I only stayed for one game (as I had my retreat ladies to visit with) but a couple of moms ran it for me for the second game!  All the proceeds go to my son, Adam's Memorial Scholarship Fund.  I'm so happy that the high school teams are playing and that they allow me to still be a part of things...I am VERY BLESSED!

The Snail Mail bungle is retiring with the current catalog and I am so sad!  I think it's such a cute set (and I'm normally not a huge CUTE fan)!  Here's a fun card and tutorial for you to try!
