Enjoying the Journey

Yup. It's important. Enjoying the journey. Each day is a part of it and, in a way, a journey in itself. I honestly think it is so important to not be constantly waiting for Friday, waiting for our favorite season, waiting for vacation... waiting...waiting...waiting. Nope. Stop waiting. Enjoy THIS moment. Breath it in. Be.

Here... Smile. No, like, for reals, do it. Right now. Now laugh. Even if it's fake, just laugh. Even fake laughter actually makes the body feel better, happier, and more alive! And the best part is...then it can turn into REAL laughter and be even MORE fabulous! 

Enjoy the Journey

Enjoy. The journey.

This is the Life

Today I have another fun card showing off some of the AWESOME new goodies in the Simon Says Stamp This is The Life release! I am having SO much fun with these stamps and dies!

This is the Life


For this card, I used the Life's Journey stamp set along with the super cute Frozen Treats die set. I colored the popsicles with Spectrum Noir markers, coated them with glossy accents, and then glittered them for a super fun look! You can find a complete list of the supplies in the links at the bottom of this post. But mostly... just know this: GLITTER!!! It was fun. For reals, though. It was super tons of FUN!

I actually created the patterned paper by stamping the grid pattern in kraft ink on white cardstock. I kind of love that lots. For reals, though. Lots. But not quite as much as glitter. Because. GLITTER!!!

Sooooo.... if you haven't checked out the release yet, you probably should, because, dude, it rocks.


Have a Happy!

Hello, Beautiful!

Yup. You! Hi! Today I have a super fun card that I created using some goodies from the BRAND NEW This is the Life release from Simon Says Stamp! If you haven't checked it out yet, be sure to head over! This is one AMAZING release!


When I saw this Adult Beverages stamp set and the coordinating dies to go with it, I was instantly IN LOVE! There is also a SUPER cute sentiment set that goes with them and that is on it's way to me, however, I went with a a pretty one from the Summer Garden set for my card today.

Hello, Beautiful


I used the martini glass die to create a shaker martini! Read that carefully, a shaker. martini. Not a martini shaker. That's a different thing altogether. Although, the man in the suit does prefer shaken, not stirred. (Actually, he prefers the Vesper, which, by the way, is remarkably difficult to find on a menu and even harder to find a bar tender who knows how to make it right, but if you do, they are DELICIOUS! For reals. Good stuff.) Anyway... I filled my shaker with glitter and sequins. Those two things seem to compliment martinis well. HA! I used the straw die to create a shelf from wood grain cardstock and then I colored the cardstock with a black Wink of Stella to give it some shimmer and sparkle! YAY! Love that!

Hello, Beautiful (detail)


I used clear foam tape to adhere the shelf, as the narrow nature of it made white foam visible, so this is more subtle. For the olive, I stamped and die cut the olive and the toothpick and then slit the olive to slide the pick through it for 'proper' presentation. I mean, why do things the easy way? HA!

Seriously, though, this is an AWESOME release! You really should check it out! Also, if you order through my links you will be helping me out, too! YAY! You can find links to all of the products I used in my card below! Happy shopping!



Have a Happy!
