Say It With Flower Soft

It's time for a little Flower Soft. Our challenge this week was to 'Say It With Flower Soft'. I really love this technique. With this you can write something out with your glue and then add Flower Soft. Take a peek.....

Confession....I'm not that fond of my handwriting. I opted to print the sentiment from my computer. EPLS.

The paper for this one is Jillibean Soup.

Be sure and check out the rest of the Flower Soft design team for more inspiration.

Stamp Simply

I LOVE Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge this week! This week we need to create a 'recipe' card. By that you need to create a card using a tab. You can find all of the deets over at Sharon's blog. I love adding tabs to cards. Whether they are paper or metal I think they add such a nice touch to any project. My card isn't exactly a 'recipe' card....but it does have a tab. Take a peek....




I used one of the beautiful sentiments from this months Unity KOTM. LOVE this one! Be sure and check out the rest of the team....

You're A Doll

Hey Everyone! :) I've got a couple of Unity cards for you today. First up a little 'somethin', somethin' from this months KOTM. Take a peek.....


Hmmm....just realized I have a bit of a theme going on here today. When you see the next one you will understand.....


This one uses one of the Unity kits only available at stores. There are so many great online retailers that carry Unity so you can check them out for this one. For a view of the whole kit go here. The paper for this one is Lily bee. I'm new to this brand but fell in love instantly! CUTE stuff! Of course a bit of Flower Soft for her hair. I used the new Ultra Fine in Toffee.

Guess my subconscious is at work here. Many of you know that I am a cancer survivor. I recently had a routine scan that turned up something. Due to the type of treatment that I had for Hodgkin's Lymphoma I am at a higher risk for breast cancer. I now have scans every six months to check for that. My latest MRI showed something 'suspicious'.....I really hate that word! In all likelihood it is nothing, at least that is what the dr. told me but just to be safe I have to have a biopsy. The really good news is that if it is anything bad we have caught this really early. Yay! ...although still not quite the birthday present that I would have hoped for! ;) This is why I haven't been around much lately. The spot was to small to biopsy with an ultra sound so we are waiting for the next step. I'm not so good at waiting.

Anyway, don't forget to be tested. It's really so important to stay on top of things like this.

Hope you are all doing well and that you have a wonderful day! I'm off. Back in a bit with more. :)

Stamp Simply....Post #3

Me again! It's been a busy day of posting for me! This is the third for today. We were gone this past weekend so it's been pretty quiet over here so it seems a bit crazy with everything today!...but in a fun way! Now it's time for Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge. This weeks challenge is to create using the colors purple and green. I used a bit more from the Unity KOTM for this one. Take a peek.....



I really love this sentiment. I stamped it twice and then cut out the butterfly to pop it up a bit. The paper, ribbon, and button are from PTI. The patterned paper is Bo Bunny.

Be sure and check out the rest of the team....
