my ♡ is with you.





Did you see that SugarPea Designs & Catherine Pooler/StampNation have teamed up?  It's super exciting that SugarPea Designs is this week's sponsor over at StampNation's Challenges!  Make sure you check out the fun challenge, you have a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to SugarPea Designs!

I was able to create a just for fun card...that doesn't happen very often but I'm so excited to share this with you:

cardstock:  recollections/110/white, mft steel gray  paper;  simple stories/i am  stamps:  sugarpea designs/going places ink:  fresh ink strawberry other:  sugarpea designs/sugarcuts/america the beautiful

I combined SugarPea Designs:  Sugarcuts - America the Beautiful + a sentiment from the Going Places stamp set.  Why yes, I did inlay 48 pieces....it was a challenge for my 'old eyes' but oh-so-worth-the-work!


I'm squirreling this away for the boy...I'm doing the countdown in my head.  I'm stepping away from a handful of design teams for July & August to spend more time with the kids.  Honestly, I can't get over how full the house is now and in September we will be empty nesters.
