PDCC #88

Hello, friends:}

Hoooooray for another fun day over at the Play Date Cafe! We are starting another color story today--Jax has really picked out some fun colors: red orange, yucky yellow, juniper. 

I looked at those colors and knew that I wanted to make a school themed card. I found these fun Cosmo Cricket papers and designed this little "congrats" card. I think it could be for any school related theme--love that little rub-on sentiment on the tickets {Unity Nov. 10 KOTM}. The numbers on the side of the card are super cute too--love that ink {matches perfectly- Dew Drop Aquatic Splash}. Pretty simple card.

That's it for me...but be sure to stop by the PDCC blog for complete details and prize information! The PDCC sponsor this week is Echo Park. Our guest this week is Debby Hughes!

ps...today is my mom and dad's anniversary! HOOOORAY for love!! Happy anniversary, Mom/Dad!!!

PDCC #87

Hello, friends:}

Hoooooray for another fun day over at the Play Date Cafe! We are starting another color story today--barn red, slate blue, grey! Looks like July 4th colors! 

I couldn't make anything for July 4th...because I needed a masculine sympathy card. I have a friend who loss his wife and another who loss his mom. I used my Stampendous stamp and made the flowers pop in the center against the color blocked card design. This was the perfect color story for this sympathy card. 

That's it for me...but be sure to stop by the PDCC blog for complete details and prize information! The PDCC sponsor this week is Stampendous. Our guest this week is Stephanie Severin! And don't forget to stop by all the other Play Date Cafe DT members' blogs---F-U-N!!!!

I am super excited to share with you my creation using my Avocado Arts stamps! I just love the owner, Michelle Ogdahl. She is the SWEETEST! LOVE her:} 


I was lucky enough to score this stamp set while leaving comments on the AA Pit Crew's blogs. Just love these stamps--easy to use and store, plus a great price. Check out Avocado Arts HERE!

I used the clouds, sun, and rain boot stamp. I just love the simplicity of this card. And that rain (stitching)--I learned that from Amy Heller. LOVE this card!!! So cute:}

That's it for me today. Be sure to stop by the Avocado Arts blog, website, and stop by their Facebook page and "like" them. I would click LOVE if I could:}


Thanks for stopping by and visiting! Be blessed!

Busy month....and Happy Father's Day!!!

Hello, friends:}


I just wanted to update you on how my month or so has been! I apologize for being away so much--but I had a very busy schedule with projects, crafts, calls, and singing! 


Sometime in the last month, I had an in-home sale for Jelly Bean Designs. It went AMAZING! THANKS to all my friends and followers that stopped by or ordered! Here is a pic of my friend, Concetta, and her dog, Lina! They stopped by to visit and grab some goodies. Her mother came too (The Bingo Queen!). Super fun time!! Olsen wasn't sure about Lina--but isn't that how love starts for young kids? They are mean to each other and then end up in love in no time? :}

 Lina getting Olsen's mustache toy!

I've also been super busy making projects and creations for special clients. I was asked by one client (a good friend) to make a graduation gift for her nephew who is attending an Ivy League school in Philly. I love this box of goodies that I made! It looks like the "fragile" lettering on a package! FUN! 

OH!!! And HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! I miss my dad, but hopefully I will be able to see him soon (July!!). 

This is Dad and I in Tampa [Nov. 2010]. 

I wish I could show you more....but soon! I promise:) Secrets secrets!! 


Thanks so much for stopping by! So glad to almost be back to normal:} Be blessed!
