Bright Skies - Monday Montage 255


February is the month I label "Recovery"  It's my chance to catch up with everything that got dropped in January because of work being so busy.  I started taking Pilates classes and trying to schedule them early in the morning to attempt to change my horrible "staying up too late" "solving all the worlds problems after midnight" habit.  I want to love the process - I'm not there yet. My super bowl team didn't win - I am not a swifty - I don't get it.  This month is also the month I celebrate my Boy Crush's birthday.  After February comes spring!  All things looking up.


It is time for another Montage Montage Blog Hop  - make sure you make it to all the stops - it will be worth it!

As this card came together with the really cute new stamp set Bright Skies with those really cute cloud patterns and die cuts, I couldn't help but use one of my all time favorite stamp sets - Playing in the Rain.   They are meant to go together.  Those cute little animals with the rain and flowers coordinates beautifully with each other.

I love all the extras that come with the coordinating die set.  There isn't a question you have to get the3 bundle.  Its a perfect way to create a scene with such fun images and details.

Share a Milkshake - MM254


Phew - We made it through January and my sanity is mostly in check.  It is crazy how being so busy and working from home can make me stir crazy.  I tried a Pilates class for the first time this month. It was fun and hope to try again soon.


Welcome to Monday Montage Blog Hop I am so lucky to be included with such remarkable stamping talent. Stay with the hop - its worth it!


I decided to revisit the main Stampin UP Catalog and play with the milkshake set.  It won't be long until there is a new one and this is a must have set.  Plus, you can also take advantage of Sale A Bration.  


I needed a couple of birthday cards and knew this would make a fun card.  One I could easily slip in a gift card to a favorite ice cream place.  I image the one included on this card might be an orange dream bar shake, vanilla and a bright orange flavor.  Or maybe an Fanta Orange Float.  Mmmm that sounds good too! 

The dies that accompany the stamp set are perfect with the extras to make the card perfect cause you might need a spoon with that extra thick shake.
