Happy Birthday Sugar!!!

It's hard to believe I became a mom to this beautiful young lady 31 years ago today!  I knew when I didn't have her on my due date (10/4) that I'd be having her on Friday the 13th...and I did!  Words can't express how incredibly proud I am to be her mom.  She is such a go getter, goal oriented, not afraid of change, a fabulous mom to her 3 boys, and an amazing daughter.  I wish we lived closer...I miss our movie nights curled up on the couch together and our lazy days by the pool.  I'm so blessed to have you as my daughter Mikaela, I love and miss you so very much!!!

My daughter loves sugar skulls.  Since I didn't have a stamp, hubs printed one off the computer for me.  I colored with copics.  Blackberry Bliss, black and Neenah card stock, rhinestones, and sequins.

These are two of my favorite pictures of my daughter...

Radiant in Red.

She worked at Sally's Beauty at the time.  Dressed up for Halloween as a Rockerstar.

 Have a great rest of your day!

Back in the Saddle Soon...

Our amazing sponsor, Don with Farmers Insurance had a mishap on his bike a couple weeks ago.  I made him a card to lift his spirits.

I used My Favorite Things Radiating Rays stencil, sponging Daffodil Delight and Only Orange.  Then I stamped the bike from Hero Arts stamp set.  Sentiment from Gina K. Design.

 Me, Carolyn, and Don.

Happy Birthday Kelly!!!

For my teammate and dear friend Kelly.  She has such a kind soul and I miss riding with her so much.  I can't wait until this COVID stuff is over so our team can resume our group rides.  

 Kelly loves sunflowers.  I found this card on Pinterest and wanted to create it for Kelly.  I used Crumb Cake for my base, Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight, and white card stock.  My Favorite Things Sunflowers die-namics, Cuttle Bug Folder and Denami Design ribbon.

Thank you for taking a peek at my blog!

Wish Big!!!

Every year for my best friends birthday I make him a funny card.  This year I CASE'd a card I saw on Pinterest.  I loved the card as soon as I saw it and also felt it appropriate for the way this year has gone!

I didn't have the wood stamp the inspiration card used to make the outhouse card so I used DSP from My Mind's Eye.  I used Sahara Sand then built my outhouse on it.  I had to do the inside of the door as well since the other side of the DSP was not wood.  I used Early Espresso for the hinges, and SU hodgepodge hardware.  

I loved the sentiment they used as well, which I thought was hilarious!!!

Me and Jeremy on the cruise in March.

You know you have an awesome best friend when he help you decorate your craft room!

My favorite tradition we have...cooking each other a birthday meal.  This year he picked bacon wrapped meatloaf and mashed sweet potatoes.

And something apple for dessert...Apple Dapple Cake.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
