I needed a birthday card for a bff whose birthday is on the 28th.  So glad I could knock out two tasks with one effort!

Another BFF gave me an amazing birthday card with products from the Stamp Market which are way cute and no longer available.  I tried to recreate with Stampin UP product an it didn't come out too bad.

Monday Montage 242 - Hey Chuck

Summer is slipping through my fingers before I can get to everything I want. Life has dealt some crazy cards for our family this summer and I feel like I am going to be happy with whatever gets accomplished.  I am so grateful for friends and all the support I get from them.

You have arrived to the latest Monday Montage Blog Hop - I just cant get over how funny these chickens in Hey Chuck are.  I know when this card gets delivered it will have a funny sarcastic comment that totally fits the attitude shown by this rooster

Sometimes I have such a struggle putting pattern paper together.  I love the brown pattern from Earthen Elegance DSP.  It gives off a fence or farm vibe which was perfect for Chuck.  I loved matching the colors in his tail with the peacock color and adding a color coordinating heart background.

We Create - So Refreshing

Not much else is refreshing as limeade, or lemonade on a hot afternoon.  I love it with a little bit of lemon lime soda or sparkling water added to it.  I think limeade is my favorite.  I also really like Brazilian Limeade with the condensed milk as the sweetener. MMmmm so good!  It's been a summer for the record books as far as heat is concerned.  Whew  Now all I need is a pool.

Welcome to the We Create Blog Hop where are recycling a product and making it something out of it. I love taking cute little containers and remaking them into something usable, giftable and cute!  I think presentation really makes difference with little gifts.

This little metal container used to hold cookie cutters which have long since been removed.  I thought it would make a great container for lemon drops.  The So Refreshing stamp set was the perfect set to create the design for the contrainer.

I also decided to recycle the card layout from this fall layout to and create a card to coordinate with the cute little container...
