Sunday Inspiration!

I have decided to post on Sundays, what I call Sunday Inspiration!  We all have faced difficult times throughout our life.  Some of these times are more difficult than others….yikes!!!  But what gets me  through is my Faith AND I stay strong with words of inspiration!  So on Sundays, I will be sharing some of my favorite quotes and verses.  Perhaps these thoughts can brighten the day and energize our souls…..enjoy!

Longing for Warm Weather…..Secret Garden

Can you tell that winter has lasted way to long here in Wisconsin?  All I can think about is flowers and getting out in the garden.  Everyday I look in my flower bed for a bit of green poking thru the ground…but nothing is budging.  So I guess I will make myself happy stamping flowers!  I never get tired of that!!

Can you tell my cat Marla has had enough of winter too???  This is her at my last Stamp Class on the Big Shot table.

I can’t tell if she is using my lamp for her SAD (seasonal affective disorder) lamp or if she is tanning herself….what do you think???  Think Spring!!

Clean and Simple…Kind and Cozy

Looking for a quick and easy card?  I think this will do the trick!  Sometimes the simplest cards are the prettiest.

Floral Fusion

This Floral Fusion Sizzlet is one of my favorites…I always love flowers on a black background.  It just makes everything pop!  And speaking of favorites….I think the Occasions Alphabet on pg. 134 of the 2013-2014 Stampin’ Up! catalog  is so overlooked!  You could use almost any of the 26 sayings in this stamp set for this card.  It is so versatile!!

Tuesday Treats and Weekly Deals!!!

I am celebrating my 17th year with Stampin’ Up! this month!  Oh my gosh…where did the time go?  Anyway, what got me excited to start stamping all those years ago was the cute treat ideas.   Anna was just 2 yrs. old and Jake was in preschool.  And I loved to bring treats into school for the kids and the teachers!  So every Tuesday, I will be posting a different treat idea…whether it is for the kids or us “big” kids…we love a goodie too!
So this week, we are going to start with these cute little bunnies!  Don’t you just love them??  And they are so easy to make a bunch!  Hoppy Stampin'!
