First Sight Mother’s Day

May 29, 2017

Today is Memorial Day and before I get to the card I’m sharing today, I’d like to say Thank You to all of our service members and veterans. I’d also like to take a moment to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I am truly grateful for the freedoms I enjoy because of them.

Today, I’m sharing a card from my library class. Each month, we make two quick and easy projects. The class is early in the month, so this month we made a Mother’s Day card.

Wednesday will be the last day to order this stamp set, so if you like it, order it soon!

Stamps: First Sight, Oh So Succulent

Cardstock: Smoky Slate, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White

Ink: Smoky Slate, Melon Mambo, Basic Gray

Punch: Sweetheart

Other: Melon Mambo Stitched Satin Ribbon (vintage), Silver Metallic Thread, Basic Rhinestone

This will also make a lovely valentine. I can’t wait to use this design for my Valentines for Veterans project!

Until next time…..stay inky, my friends!

Valentines for Veterans

March 2, 2017February 18, 2017

Every year, the Bluegrass Stampers make Valentines for Veterans (VFVs) to give to our local veterans. Last year, we took 606 VFVs to the VA hospital in Louisville.

This year, we took 422 VFVs to the VA clinic and pharmacy at the hospital at Fort Knox for distribution to the veterans.

My friend, Judy, who lives in Knoxville, TN has a valentine making party in January and sends those cards to me for this project. Without the help of her friends, we wouldn’t have nearly as many cards! Thanks, Judy and friends!

We had a lot of beautiful cards, but I wanted to showcase a couple of my favorites, made by my good friend, LaAnna. Not only beautiful valentines, but patriotic as well!
