Thanks So Much!!

This week at the Pals Paper Arts, Team 1 is having a fabulous color challenge!!  I just LOVE these colors!!  I decided this would be the perfect color combination for the stamp set Oh, Hello. 

Here's my card below:

Isn't this such a "happy" card with all the bright colors?  To give the card dimension, I used the Chevron Embossing Folder and the Chevron Pattern Paper from the Brights Collection DSP. I inked up the flowers with Daffodil Delight and Old Olive markers.  I have listed below all my supplies at the end of the post.

This week's "Just A Thought"........


Our days are HAPPIER
 when we give people a bit of 
our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

I have a challenge for you today.  Your challenge is to smile and say a kind word to as many people as you can while you go through your day.  See what kind of response you get even from the grumpiest face.  LOL!!!  How do you feel when someone unexpectedly smiles or just says hello?  How about when you receive an unexpected "thank you" or "hello" from someone you haven't even met before?  I can't tell you how many times I have walked through a store and someone is approaching that has a scowl on their face.  I sometimes don't even think they realize they're frowning.  I usually say something from my heart like "hello", good morning or simply open the door for them with a smile.  You wouldn't believe what a difference I can see this has made in their day.  You know what?  It makes my day better too; even when I'm feeling the same way.  Next time you're out, smile at someone, say hello or give a heartfelt thank you.  Let me know what happens.  How did it may you feel?  I bet you had a fabulous rest of the day. 

As always I love to see your comments!!

Perfect Blend with Mary Fish

Hi fellow stampers!!  What a glorious Sunday!!  Today I'm so excited to be guest again with Mary Fish of Stampin' Pretty!! 
I don't know about you, but I love, love, love this stamp set Perfect Blend!!!  I love coffee!!  Now I'm not a purest, but any fancy way you want to make it....bring it on!!  (Not too sweet though!! ) LOL!!!  Some of the best memories I have are sitting in Starbucks with my best friend in Columbus Ohio catching up over the morning.
We meet annually to attend the Country Living Craft Fair
and find any spot we can to catch up over coffee!!
  I wish these moments would never end!!!
Here is a closer view of the cups:

The Designer Series Paper is from Gingham Garden.  This DSP is just so fun and versatile!!!  I then used card stock from Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and 1/4" Stitched Grossgrain Ribbon in Wild Wasabi.
The finishing touches include the Large Scallop Edgelits and the  
Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

As you know, just over a week ago was Stampin' Up's Annual Convention.
SU celebrated their 25th Anniversary!!  Woo hoo!!  What a party this was for sure!!  If you were there, I need to say no more.  If not, oh my did you miss some fun!!!!  Several of the Pals have shared mulitple photos of their time at
Convention 2013.  Here are a few of mine:

Olive Garden with Pam Morris, Katy McGloin, Tricia Chub Neild and myself

Convention: Windy Ellard, Ann Schach, myself, Brian King and Justin Krieger

  
Just a Thought for the day......
Success isn't just about what you accomplish in your life; 
it's about what you "inspire" others to do.
So with those words inspire someone to create, give an extra moment of their time or just tell someone how much you mean to them.  "Inspire" someone to be better than they were the day before.
Every kind act does change the course of our lives!!! 

Thank you for visiting my blog today!!!
Don't forget this Thursday is a new Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge!!!  

Come join us for some fun!!!  

We have some fabulous creations we want to share!!!  

Won't you show us what fun you can have with paper and ink?

Have a safe and fun week!!!

Cup of Joe with the Pals Paper Arts

It's time for another fabulous Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge!!
Here is the sketch below!!

This week I thought I would feature my all time favorite stamp set  
Perfect Blend!!  Some of my absolute favorite moments of my life with family and friends have been over a "cup of Joe".  Mind you not just coffee; I'm talking "special" coffee!!  Latte's, Cappuccino's or Macchiato's!!  LOL!!
Yep, I admit it!!  I'm a coffee snob!!  LOL!!!

Here's my card below:

......and here is a picture of the inside.

This week's "Just A Thought" for your next card is a random act of kindness.   Take a card you spent some extra time on and just send it to a friend or family member that may need a pick me up.  Even a co-worker may appreciate your thoughtfulness.  Invite them for a "cup of Joe" sometime!!  LOL!!  Just this small gesture can make a big difference in a persons life.   I hope I have inspired you to send someone "Just a Thought...."    Stop by and say hello to the rest of the Design Team to see what they're sharing.
