Monday Montage 263 - Tuned In

The Summer solstice happened and we are officially in summer season.  I am not sure I am ready for the heat and what goals we have set for this season.  I do love the longer daylight we get to experience.  

Its already time for another blog hop with the Monday Montage group. Make sure you stop at all the blogs - you won't want to miss them!

I wasn't too sure about this stamp set, but wanted something new to create cards with.  I knew this could be used as a good gender neutral card.  It also allows for adding your own sentiments to make it fun and even a bit spicy.  I appreciate the thought that goes in to each stamp set, but my husband and I love to personalize the card for the receiver.  We never cease to get laughs.

This stamp set also allows for all the colors and a real retro style.  And for some of us a few memories.  No such thing as a remote control and the knobs are for real!

Monday Montage 262 - Latte Love

Its been a full 3 weeks since my last post.  We lost our sweet Oliver who passed the morning of May 24th.  He was 11.5 yrs old. My heart is broken.  We also were able to spend some good quality time with my Mom in beautiful Garden Valley ID, picnics at Stanley Lake in the Sawtooth Mountains and some seriously needed down time.  We  have come home to an empty house and adjustment.  I am so grateful for my boy crush and my friends as I have felt their support and love.

Welcome, I hope you are having a good day.  You have found the Monday Montage Blog Hop.  Stick with us and see some fun projects to inspire your creativity.

The online exclusive Latte Love has the cutest little cup die.  I knew I wanted to cut a bunch and stack them.  All I could picture was the scene from Sword and the Stone where the stack of cups float across the room to be washed.  My stack are awaiting beautiful flowers, or just a good cuppa!

When trying to come up with an idea to fill in some space, I found this cute little Daffodil Die and knew it would be a perfect fill for the cup.  I paper pieced the the flower.

I put a cute little heart on the cup and embellished with some in color gems, a sentiment and twine.   Its actually one of those cards, where I used all the things!
