Monday Montage 192 Hats Off

Wow - This summer has been so stinkin hot!  But it has been so nice to get out and be with people.  I am filling my summer with fun!  This weekend I have been visiting my Mom with a couple of my besties.  We have floated the river, saw Mary Poppins at the local outdoor theater, visiting the arts and wine festival, gotten a little sunburned, eaten fabulous food, watched chick flicks, played with the dogs and taken a few naps.  I hope your summers are shaping up to be loads of fun!

Welcome to the Monday Montage Blog Hop.  Make sure you make it all the way through to see the amazing projects.

The card today is a 4 1/4  x 4 1/4.  Sometimes the image just works better on a different format.  I love this haat and wished I had it in real life.

Monday Montage 191 Pansy Patch

Welcome to the Monday Montage Blog Hop - Stick with us by hitting the next button at the end of the post to see all the amazing talent behind this group of bloggers!

When I first saw these pansy dies from Stampin' UP, I thought of two things.  The pansies that like to sing in Alice in Wonderland and a little song I learned in church as a child called little purple pansies.  They are small and tiny but can gladden any spot they are in.  I just had to have them in my stash.

Don't be intimidated by the plethora of dies, they go together so easily and the color combos are unlimited.

We Create - Relationship Celebrations

Its June!  My how time is flying and life seems to be starting to get back to normal.  Well...a new normal. But is is good.  Being able to travel and visit with friends and eat out once in a while and not only plan vacations but go on them!  

The relationship I chose to recognize is the one I have with my boy crush.  Our anniversary is in March and we celebrate 25 years next year.  Can't wait for that celebration!  Creating a masculine card is not always easy. Stampin' Up has several stamp sets that make this task a piece of cake.
