Hello friends! It is summer!! Yay!! Summer and Christmas are my favorite seasons. I know Christmas is not a season, but winter is so hard on my body, the only way I enjoy it is to fully embrace the holiday seaons. Anyhow, back to summer! Do any of you have any fun summer travel plans? Because of my husbands job, we have lived away from family (california) for almost 20 years. Typing that number out, made me realize how long I have been away. Most of those 19 years we have lived in the south east of the US. As much as I miss California, the south suits me, and most likely what my children consider home.  When your children get older, its very hard to coordinate their schedules, along with my husbands.  But miraculously we all will get to go to California together, it has been a long time since that has happened. Usually it is just the kids and myself.  I am in need of relaxing, down time to just chill, especially since we have a busy year ahead of us. I plan on wine ...

For paper crafters, this is always such an exciting time of year.  With CHA wrapping up, I can't wait for my favorite stores to be filled with new product.  Not that there is anything wrong with "older" stuff, but there is something about the newness of something that brings a freshness to projects I make. For this card, I used the February stamp set from Avocado Arts called Wishes and Kind Thoughts.  I stamped the sentiment onto the Pebbles chipboard, then stamped, colored in, and cut out the flower (popped up with foam tape).  It was just luck, how the stamped flower matched perfectly to the flower chipboard.  The embossed background was created, by running card stock through my Grand Calibur, inside a new M-bossabilites folder. My fellow design team members, have created something special using this set as well, so if you have a minute, hop on over to their blogs too.
