Happy 16th Birthday!!

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to buy product from the LAST CHANCE LIST.  Don't wait until tomorrow - it will be too late!!
One of my favorite Designer Paper stacks is still available on the LAST CHANCE LIST
PETAL GARDEN is a fabulous way to make your Designer Paper work for you.
Check out this card inspired by Melissa Davies

Even the leaves and the rose (from GRACEFUL GARDEN Stamp Set) are stamped onto the Designer Paper in this gorgeous stack of paper. (using Soft Suede ink)

Today is also our oldest grandsons 16th birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER!!!
This is Tyler's card and gifts.  I love to coordinate, but this one actually happened by accidental.
The card was created a while back and used as a COME STAMP WITH ME TUESDAY class card, but since Tyler's favorite beverage is Dr Pepper I thought it would be perfect for him too.

Then when I was looking up ideas for something clever I came up with this idea.

AND...we always give the grand kids the dollar amount of how old they are, and since Tyler also loves Pizza - I thought this was so appropriate for him. (We are talking teen boy here now!!)

When our children have a birthday we invite the couple or family over for a dinner of their choice, but for the grand kids we let them choose the restaurant of their choice and they get a night with Gramma and Grampa. This year (again) Tyler chose On The Border Restaurant. He is our Mexican food loving kid!!

Life is just going so fast when you watch this next generation grow up.

Party Panda Hockey

Today is our son, Jeff's, birthday!!

Happy Birthday, Jeff, we love you so much and are so very proud of the godly man you have become.

Jeff's favorite sport is hockey, and although he never played it, he follows the Detroit Red Wings pretty closely.

When I saw this adorable card made by Diana Gibbs, I knew I would have to give it a try because it would be perfect for my hockey-loving son.

I made a second hockey card for my hubby to give a friend from church who invited him to a Detroit Red Wings Hockey Game. What perfect timing!!

Although the PARTY PANDA Stamp Set is not available anymore (it was one of the FREEBEES during Sale a bration) if you made a qualifying purchase during SAB (January - March) you probably got this set with your order.  It was my highest ordered Sale a bration item this year!!

Other items used on this adorable card:
BUBBLE OVER Photopolymer Bundle (for the hockey sticks and puck)

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLLS Stamp Set (for the birthday card)
ONE BIG MEANING (for the thank you card)
In this blog post Diana explains how she got the Hockey helmets.
I really wanted some Red Wings Helmets, but I was having a hard time finding the graphic that I wanted. I wanted red vs white because I thought the white would get lost in the Black and white colors of the panda.
Join me in saying a big Happy Birthday to Jeff!!

Many of you are asking me to share photos of our amazing trip to Greece.

I certainly do not want to overwhelm you, and I definitely cannot choose a favorite part of our trip because every little bit was so incredible.

We saw some amazing historical sites like the Parthenon and the Acropolis (Areopagus), but right there by them is Mars Hill.  This is where Paul stood and was not ashamed to preach Jesus Christ to all those who were worshiping the pagan gods. We sat there as Rich shared with us from scripture as we looked over the city of Greece. I could have sat there all day and listened to him. 

Check it out for yourself in Acts 17 starting with verse 16

This is the market place mentioned in verse 17          

                            

Between the 6 of us 1,000's of pictures were taken

I have been planning my scrapbook pages in my head for days!!

Another Graduation Card

I absolutely love this card!

How fun is this card using the BEAUTIFUL YOU Stamp Set. 

I don't know about you, but I was so excited to graduate from high school and this could easy be the dance I was doing way back then. 

This card was made by the ladies at one of my Tuesday classes because it also features some retired elements like the stamp set SKY IS THE LIMIT and the Designer Paper. 

Easy to duplicate though, buy choosing the graduation sentiment of your choice as well as the Designer Paper. 

Her Grad hat is 3/4" square and the little tassel is from the die from BIKE RIDE. 

If you want to be sure to get these LARGE NUMBERS DIES you need to grab them NOW before it is too late and they are all gone.
