Beautiful Shapes
I found a stamp set in Ashley's stash that is old and retired but I was able to make some great cards with it. The top two cards are both made with the Dear Doily set.
The 2 cards on the bottom are using a smaller doily. But the hexagon shapes is from the Beautiful Shapes dies. This was such a fun card and a great one to use your bits and pieces of designer paper!

Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin, March 2022
Ashley and I had such fun making cards these past weeks. Here are a few that Ashley has made using elements from the Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin kit. This was one of the best kits we have gotten.

Fun time with family!
So sad ... I am coming home tomorrow! Ashley and I have had such a good time during the 2 weeks I have been in Maryland. We toured the DC Mormon Temple, attended a funeral (of one of Ashley's friends father) at Arlington National Cemetery, watched an the US Air Force Honor Guard Drill Team perform their "Drill at Dusk" performance at the National Harbor, attended the Evening Parade at the Marine Barracks in DC, shopped A LOT at the Tanger Outlets and had lots of "play time" and good restaurants to eat at. Smack down in the middle of my visit was Ashley's commencement ceremony!! She earned her Masters of Health Professional Education degree from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. We are so proud of her!

Waves of Inspiration
I just love this Waves of Inspiration! And using the Stamparatus and Sponge Daubers (or Blending Brushes) to add ink to the wave stamp allows you to add lots of colors .... so pretty! This set is available now and is also in the Annual Catalog.
By the time you read this, I will be on a plane enroute to spend a couple of weeks with my daughter. I can't wait! I finished my 5 day quarantine and am ready to go (with a mask on!)

Artfully Layered
Happy Mother's Day!
Unfortunately I can't see my mother today! We had plans to get together at my nephew's house for Mothers Day and for my nephew's daughters 2nd birthday. But the universe had other plans for me! I tested Positive last Wednesday for the dreaded COVID! Can't believe after staying in & doing all the stuff you were supposed to do for the last two years that when I think we are safe, it hits! After I tested, my hubby tested too and got the same result as I did. He is going stir crazy having to stay at home for a week! He didn't even have any symptoms other than the congestion he has but he gets that way every year when the yellow pollen is around. I felt like a house had fallen on me last Wednesday which is what made me do the test. But I am getting better every day and we started taking meds right away. I'm sure we will be ok in the long run.
I love the new catalog BUT there were a few items that were not included in it that I will really miss! For instance, the cards I am sharing with you today are at the top of my list! I was really surprised that the Tropical Layers Dies & Artfully Layered stamp set was on the chopping block. This bundle was featured in the Jan - June mini catalog SO if you want this bundle, you can still purchase it until the end of June! It is not going to be in the Annual Catalog. The details for this bundle is #157761 / $53.00.
It seems every time I order a leaf set, it gets retired. Oh well, I still use the retired items and will continue to do so. Here are a few of the cards I have made using this bundle.

Floating Technique
Want to try a floating strips card? Get in line to make a fun and creative card using acetate or window sheets and strips of cardstock! You can also use dies to cut different shapes for this technique.

When we spend too much time looking backward, we can prevent ourselves from living in the present which is where all our power is. Focusing too much on the past can hinder our ability to move forward.
This doesn't mean you have to forget your past or pretend it never happened. But what is done is done.
So try not to stress about what happened yesterday because it can affect the quality of your "today" and your "tomorrow."
Always remember that every day is a new opportunity to begin again. Every meal is a new opportunity to make better choices.

An AWESOME Deal from Stampin' Up!
Make your wishlist for TOMORROW! The new catalog from Stampin' Up! launches and it's starting with a huge promotion on the already amazing Starter Kit.
May 3 - May 30, Stampin' Up! is giving away 4 amazing products in addition to it's regular starter kit offering ... including the full set of new In-Color ink pads (that's a HUGE value!)
The starter kit is $99 plus tax; the shipping for the kit is FREE and you get to choose $125 in products that you'd like to have. Then .... they are throwing in these products completely free!
For many people, purchasing the Starter Kit seems scary. They worry about meeting a quarterly minimum and what's more, they worry about having to run a business. Well, I'm here to relieve your worry's and fears about both.
- There is ZERO requirement to run a business.
- Purchasing the Starter Kit is much like paying for a Costco membership. You simply get to shop at a discount, but if you wanted to work for Costco (or in this case, Stampin' Up!) you could do that too.
- The dreaded minimum - I find people get hung up on this. YES, there is a quarterly retail minimum to meet of $300. However, if you don't meet it, that's ok. You will just go back to being a customer, but in the meantime you got to be a part of something spectacular and got a lot of free product.
