friends...

Happy Sunday!

Hope you all are having a great weekend...can't believe that it is Sunday already.

I have a fun little card to share with you...it is with a bunch of MME:

Seriously gotta love anything MME...

I was inspired by the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger:

Porch Play

Can you say...fun and perfect?  I adore Cath's Trigger picks...

I was inspired by:

 the colors...the flowers...the edge of the table with the fun scallops...

At first glance you might not notice the 2 different sizes of zig zag'alicious stitching on this puppy...the center red panel has the tiny zigs all around the border and the red vertical strip on top of the yellow scallop piece has big zags:)

The Limelight Papercrafts sketch was perfect to play with:

I hope to have a surprise for you this morning....I'll be back:)

Thanks so much for stoppin' by!!!!

Monday...Monday....

Today is the EAD Designs Blog Hop!

{it officially starts at 10 am EST}

You should have arrived here from Liz's blog, Liz's Paper Loft!  If not, you'll want to start at the beginning which is the EAD Designs blog so that you don't miss out on the fun!

Check out my card for today:

The house/tulip are from the Little Houses Vinyl Rub-Ons sheet:

The tulip bloom is on a dimensional:)

The Miss You sentiment is from the Caged Vinyl Rub-Ons Sheet:

I was inspired by the latest Limelight Papercrafts sketch:

The challenge was to use green, that's easy smeasy for me since I LOVE green:)

The cardstock is PTI kraft and all the patterned paper is Pink Paislee's Old School...Jenn has one more set available in her shop!!  LOVE working with the canvas borders, they add such fab dimension to the card...

Don't forget about the current EAD Designs Spring Fling Color Challenge!

Check out my girl:)

She's such a good sport...you knew it was going to happen right?  I had to use one of the fun Mustache Vinyl Rub-On's with a coffee mug!  So my girl is a leftie....this particular mug is designed so when she holds it the pink mustache shows...righties will have a black mustache:)

Blogging about the girl, it was a flurry of birthday festivities for her this last weekend...slumber party on Friday night...Family party on Saturday night....my baby girl will be turning 16 this week...that is a very SWEET 16...

I love her to pieces...can't believe that she's going to be 16....

Okay, I'll stop before I get all weepy...

Next up is Super-Stephanie at {Dream Create Inspire}

gonna get by with a little help from my friends...

This goes out to my friends...I'm so lucky to have such fabbie friends, both irl and bloggie:)

All the paper is Stampin' Up...the sentiment is E.A.D's Believe in Make Believe Stickerz.  PTI flower die {the blue flowers are stamped with the CHF polka dot backgrounder} , Martha butterfly punch, Queen and Co pearls and a sweet doily.

I was inspired by the Limelight Papercrafts Sketch...love it...and how fun that the challenge is Pearls...love them!

LOVE this week's Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger...

An Idea in Yellow

Such a gorgeous picture... What inspired me was the yellow and the feeling of spring...

**chit chat**

Okay, I knew I was going to be in trouble....Tiff got me hooked on Pinterest.  I always knew I loved quotes...that board is getting filled up quickly:)  I have a gazillion things 'starred' in my google reader so I'm in the process of transferring those things into Pinterest...sooooooo fun.

Things might be changing up around here...I recently accepted a Payroll/Human Resources position with a design firm in Seattle...I'm THRILLED with the new opportunity but I imagine over the next several weeks I'll be exhausted with my all the stuff I'll need to get done at my current job and then learning tons of new stuff with my new job...bear with me as I get back into a groove...
