Bootyful Day...

Yes, it was a "Bootyful Day"...it was Noah's End of Treatment Party.  What a celebration!  He celebrated the day before by running his first half marathon (with his parents and lots of friends by his side)!  He's just an amazing kid with so much courage...you'd never know he's been battling cancer for the last 3 years.

Noah is a Treasure and Treasured by so many people.  I thought this stamp, Ahoy Matey by My Favorite things was the perfect set to use for his card.  I stamped the pirate in Memento Ink, coloring it with copics, then fussy cutting it out.  I used Crumb Cake as my base, layering with Black and EP Apothecary Eporium.  Spellbinders for my circles, then popping the pirate up on it.  SU square punch for the tag.  I used SC725, flipping it 180 degrees.  

Noah's way of celebrating his end of treatment...a half marathon!

Lavender Lingers...

For our outgoing Tucson Tri Girls Board Members. 

I stamped the rose from SU's Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set in Memento Ink, colored it with Copics and fussy cut it out.  I popped it up with foam tape to give it some dimension.  My Favorite Things Die-Namics Royal Leaves  in Old Olive card stock.  I also used Gorgeous Grape, Smokey Slate, and Neenah White card stock.  Cuttlebug folder and Michael's $1 stamp for the sentiment.

Hoots Birthday is it???

For my bestie...

I used SU Rich Razzleberry, White, and My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Cardstock.  My Favorite Things I'm Owl Yours Stamp Set and I'm Owl Yours Die-Namics.  Cuttlebug folder, Memento Ink, and colored with Copics.  I used SC724 as my card sketch.

We started this tradition with our best friends that on our birthday the other would cook them the meal of their choice.  It's my favorite gift to give and receive each year.  I love the traditions we've created with our besties!

Ain't That America...

For my hubs friend and former co-worker's housewarming party.  Josh built his house with the help of his family and friends.  Definitely a labor of love.  Their open concept floor plan is beautiful.  When I showed my hubs the card I made for Josh and Talia my hubs laughed and told me..."but they have no neighbors, they live out in the middle of nowhere."  And boy did they!  We went off roading to get to their house.  

I CASE'd this card from calmag.  

Thank-you for stopping by!

Rescue My Ride...

My bike was a hot mess after I had this wax stuff put on the chain.  My friends hubs came to my rescue by taking the chain and gears off my bike and cleaning them to get the wax off.  It was everywhere.  In theory the wax sounded like a good idea but after application I immediately regretted having it done.  I'm so thankful Scott came to my rescue!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Sweet Sunni...

Made this for our best friends who had to say goodbye to their sweet puppy girl, Sunni.  It's always the hardest saying goodbye to our furbabies.

Miss you Sweet Sunni Girl!

World Rare Disease Day...

My sweet dear friend Shirey put together a World Rare Disease Day Ride for me to raise awareness for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.  Of course the one day of the year where we live we had the worst weather...snow, sleet, rain and were unable to go cycling.  We still got together for breakfast and I spoke a little about Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.  Shirey made the day so special for me, going above and beyond what I ever expected.  Bicycle Ranch Tucson was kind enough to let Shirey host the event at their store.  Thank you Steve!

Anyhow, I made these cards as a raffle prize .

Have a Merry Christmas!
