Feel Goods with a Honeycomb Folder

Hello dear friends.
 
I type with a heavy heart today in the wake of all of this week's tragedy.... Boston Marathon bombing, West TX plant explosion and flooding in Chicago. All of the aftermath is sure to find some more disturbing facts and tragedy; however, we also find the good in people. The medical people who ran to help, the fire fighters running in to save people and pets, common everyday people just caring for each other. It somewhat heals the heart. I know we all want to despise those young men who planted the bombs, but remember that they are someone's sons. Something went wrong with them, but someone loves them.
 
So, I absolutely love the Honeycomb embossing folder and the Feel Goods stamp set. The designer paper used on this card was from Sale-A-Bration but you could switch it and the colors for any designer paper. It is a Whisper White base card with a layer of Whisper White that I put thru the Big Shot with that Honeycomb folder. I used that same folder with a piece of designer paper and then cut out the little hexagons. I am in love with Razzleberry, so I used that to emphasize my greeting and for the small piece of ribbon. It is actually the dotted ribbon, but I folded it backwards so it was plain. The sentiment can be used for any girl or woman for a specific event or just because. "She believed she could, so she did." Love it!

 
I wish you all very happy weekend, enjoy your loved ones and relish in the day.
 
Keep craftin'!

Scrapbook For the Record

Hey all. If you haven't seen the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog, you are missing out!! On page 9, there is a super easy, super cute Simply Scrappin' kit. It is only $9.95 and contains a ton of embellishments! The name is "For the Record" and it is prepared for you to quickly create a 2 page layout, 12"x12". You could easily trim it and do your own thing, but why? Lol!
 
I thought it was PERFECT for a layout for my kids' 1st grade teacher, who also happened to be my husband's 1st grade teacher! As you can see, her name is Mrs. Glasbrenner. My kids loved her so much and still do, although she has since retired and I've heard that she is enjoying that even more than teaching. I pretty much followed the layout included with the kit and completed it in less than 15 minutes. Awesome!
 
What do you think?



As you can see, I totally believe in using my own handwriting on my pages. It might be a little sloppy, but it gets the story in and it is from my heart. Contact me asap if you need a copy of the Spring Catalog or visit my website.
