Summer kite…
A few months ago, feeling more crative – and brave – than usual, I have decided to try something way out of my “cardmaker” comfort zone. I picked up my collection of monthly “Stampin’ Up” publications, and quickly I have decided on re-creating one or both the kites tha were shown. I had to chose some patterned cardstock from a recent non-Stampin’ Up purchase, because I wanted the large base rosette to have more weigh that the Designer Paper Series Stampin’ Up is offering, but otherwise I kept with my all-time favorites: butterfly & flowers punches, color cardstock, background stamp, border punches, brads & ribbons, all SU items (some current, some long gone…)
Although it did not turn out as pretty as the original, I was pleased with it and decided to hang it on my apartment’s door. To my surprise, I had a few neighbors from the complex stoping me and telling me how beautiful they thought my wreath was and asking where they could get one. Thery seemed quite amazed to hear I had made it myself… Maybe I should make some more and list them in my PaperMoons Designs shop… lol… Just noticed I have the wreath hanging all crooked in my photo – I am thinking that new eyeglasses are definitely in order!
Gotta start gtting ready: I am leaving for the McGhee-Tyson Airport in a few short hours to pick up the “kiddies” – I can hardly wait!!!
Some days are for doing…
Some days aren’t for talking or wondering. They’re not for dreaming, seeking, meandering or procrastinating.
Some days are for doing, like today.
What are you going to do, change, learn, find, proclaim, invest or manifest?

Two Hearts as One…
Love is a wonderful reason for celebration…
Lately, with my demanding work schedule, I haven’t had enough energy to devote to my favorite hobby, cross-stitching. And – if by chance – I get to finish a card or two, can’t really muster the will to get them photographed so I can post them. Soooo… I took advantage of having this weekend off (as my plant celebrates its 25th anniversary…), and took photos of my work 
The card was cross-stitched on 14ct white perforated paper, which I have discovered to be much better for my cards. I have used DMC 6 strands Embroidery floss. I guess this card would be easy to customize by a simple color change for the wedding cake, to match those of the wedding party… Hmmm…
The back of the cross-stitching is not showing. The inside of the card is white and had been left blank for a personal message. However, I guess a stamped greeting could be added, something along the lines of “Best Wishes”, “Celebrate” or something similar. The card is 4.25″ by 5.5in, with the cross-stitch area of 2.75in by 4.25in.
Well, I guess I’ll go fix a breakfast of scrambled eggs & toast. Y’all have a wonderful weekend!
New Packaging for the Wood Mount Stamp Sets
Today is a two-post day. I can't help myself - when I stumble across exciting news, I can't always wait to share.
I just saw this video on Stampin' Up!'s Youtube channel and had to share it with you. It's a sneak peek at the new packaging for wood mount sets - starting May 31. Being the nerd that I am, I am beside myself with excitement over this storage solution.
New packaging for wood-mounted stamps - thanks, SU!
Alignment…
The universe is being aligned for what God is about to do.
