Celebrate Today!

I mentioned in my last post my husband & I went to see Joel Osteen last weekend in Ohio. His message included thanking God for everything good and right in your life. When you wake up, be happy you can see, walk, have clothes to wear, a job to go to. It's such a simple thing to do, yet I know I am guilty of taking things for granted. I am going to try harder to "celebrate today" each and every day.
My creation goes along with my new theme in life! I hope you like it. It's also fitting for a birthday card too! The "Celebrate" comes from the Stampin' Up! retired set Wonderful Words. It's very similar to Heard from the Heart or Warm Words, another favorite of mine. You could also use Celebrate Everything and really personalize what you are celebrating!

The big scallop circle in the background is the Scallop Circle Die (item #113468) from Stampin' Up! This die is not only great for scallop circle die cuts, but you can also make scallop circle cards from it. If you don't have a die cutting machine and would like scallop circle cards, Stampin' Up! sells Carousel Notes which include 12 cards with envelopes!

I created my own center for the Prima flowers using Stampin' Up! Jumbo Brads and adding a little flower rub-on. Don't be shy about using your rub-ons. They go on practically anything! Gotta love em!

Leave me a comment and let me know what you are going to celebrate today! It could be that your kids are healthy, the UPS man came today with your Stampin' Up! order, or you ate candy for breakfast! The candy for breakfast would do it for my little one!

Have a great day and thank you so much for visiting my blog!

Happy July 4th Weekend!

Hello everyone!

I wanted to blog sooner, but with my family in town, the time just slipped away. Although I'm sure you're busy on this holiday weekend, I thought I would drop you "a little note". Like my card? It's so easy to make!

The card size is 5x5. I used Stampin' Up! Cutie Pie patterned paper. I cut four squares, each measuring 2.25 x 2.25 inches. The big square in the middle is 2.75 x 2.75. I used the jumbo scallop punch from Marvy for my center, and drew a little "u" shape in each scallop with a white pen. I used a jumbo circular Marvy punch & decorated it using a clear stamp set from Michael's $1 bin. The center of the flower is a blue rhinestone.

The one thing I love about Stampin' Up! patterned paper is it's double sided and thick. It's like getting two for one and it really comes in handy when you want to use multiple prints that match! They make it easy, what can I say?

Enjoy your nice long holiday weekend and thanks for taking time to stop by!
