Mom and Dad were going to have a party around Valentine’s Day and needed invitations, so I came up with two choices.
Red sparkly hearts…
or Valentines hanging by a string. Which do you think they chose…? Red sparkly hearts win every time! I ended up using the card on the top left where the “you’re invited” is right beside the red sparkly heart. As I make more cards, I’m learning how the placement really matters.
I am so excited to see Abby and Keegan perform at the State Speech and Drama contest this weekend. Keegan is a “strong man” in the circus performing in the one act play, Elephant Graveyard. It’s a sad, but moving story of a circus elephant. Abby is in TV News…she helped write the commercial about “Peace for Paris.”
Hope you have a great weekend!

Have you made treats for Valentine’s Day? You only have 10 days, so it’s time to get started!
Grab a bag of Hershey’s Nuggets.
Here’s the directions so you can make some Valentine 3 Nugget Boxes.
You might be wondering where I came up with these nontraditional Valentine colors? Yep, I used the color challenge at Global Design Project. You should check them out and play along.
Miss Abby is turning 17 soon, so I’ve been working on her birthday invitations. I can’t wait to show them to you. Please sign up for my posts to be delivered to your inbox so you don’t miss anything.
I’d love to hear from you. Please leave me a comment or question.

Mom celebrated her 75th Birthday yesterday! She told me 75 seemed really old. I had thought about making a card with the Number of Years set and putting a big “75” on the front of the card. She said she was much happier with the flowers. Note to self, this set might be more appropriate for birthdays with smaller numbers. 🙂 Anyway Mom doesn’t look or act 75.
I used Mojo Monday and The Paper Players challenges to create her card. For The Paper Players I used the left column, flowers, die cuts and yellow. The Designer Series Paper I used is Botanical Gardens. The colors are Hello Honey and Mint Macaron. I love the new Botanical Builder Framelits Dies to make all kinds of awesome flowers.
We celebrated at Fire Creek Restaurant in WestDesMoines. It was a cold winter night and we had delicious food and great conversation while sitting by the roaring fire. A great way to celebrate Mom’s birthday!
Please leave a comment or question. I love hearing from you!
