Tribute

Today is a day of remembrance for America and each year I take some baked goods to all seven of my city's fire stations. I hope to inspire YOU to do an act of service. I remember how America came together after our terrorist attack and I am passing it on, especially on this day.

If you are moved to do an act of service to someone today, I hope you will let me know what you did in the comments section. Thank you for visiting today!

Weather Together Get Well

Another CASE card. This time from Anna at (annastampincave.wordpress.com). She used different embellishments and different colors in her umbrella/sentiment, but I loved how this looked. She peeled the white backing off the White Perfect accents, and I used the Silver Metallic Enamel shapes instead. The stamps are from My Hero and Weather Together stamp sets.

Thank you for looking today! I hope you have a wonderful day. Please leave a comment if you have an extra minute-I love reading them!

Under the Weather

I can never have enough get well cards on hand. When someone is sick, you want to send or give a card right away, not have to sit down and make one in a hurry! This is a card I CASED from Susie Kalantarian on Splitcoast. She got her idea from the Annual Catalog, which was showing the Ronald McDonald stamp set "My Hero."

Here, you can see I used the "Weather Together" stamp set to add clouds, which look like they are raining because I used the Umbrella Weather Thinlits to cut out raindrops. The same set of thinlits gave me my umbrella handle. A strip of Blooms and Bliss DSP adds a little color across the bottom of the card. 

I'll now be ready when a friend isn't feeling well. I know when I receive a card, it always makes me feel a little bit better.

Thank You For All You Do

Every year on 9/11 I take something sweet to every fire station in my city. There are 7, and one is headquarters with a larger crew, so that one gets *two* sets of sweets.

I like to decorate each tray of sweets, so this year I used the My Hero stamp set to make a badge. I backed the badge with a silver foil scalloped circle and I used markers on the stamp so I could have a red, white and blue badge on this Patriot Day.

Here are my double-stacked, home made brownies ready to deliver first thing in the morning. May we never forget the sacrifices of all who helped during those dark days and weeks and months of 2001. 

Thank you for looking today, and have a blessed day.

Congratulations! Well Done!

One week from today, our son graduates from the Police Academy and begins a job as an officer in a local city. We are so proud! I made this card using Night of Navy and Smoky Slate Card Stock with Whisper White accents.

The badge from the My Hero stamp set is perfect here, stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder. I used a Blender Pen and a pool of Night of Navy ink to color in the "#1" circle. I perfectly punched it out using the Best Badge Punch.

The "CONGRATULATIONS" sentiment is from One Wild Ride. I framed it using the Bunch of Banners Framelits.

I'm glad you looked today. I invite you to shop my Online Store any time!
