Date Night Gift

Hello Everyone,

My Hubs and I have been married for 5 years now.  And since we have been married we have made it a point to have Date Night every Friday and for the most part we have.  Minus the occasional Church meeting or helping a friend move.  This past Friday we scheduled to have our date night, just dinner and a movie out, and on the way to dinner we stopped by Ben Franklin Crafts.  We both did some looking around and found some things that we wanted (he wants to make a shadow box).  And as we approached the register to checkout Hubs surprised me and purchased my findings as a Date Night gift!!  Isn't that the sweetest!!  I love him so much and am so grateful for him.  So here is a video of the items he got for me.

That's all for now you guys.  I pray you are all having a fantastic day and I will see you all next time.

5 Card Friday - Month 1

Hello Everyone,

Happy 5 Card Friday!  Christmas has come and gone and this year I was slow creating my cards to send out.  But with the new year upon us I have made a vow/challenge to myself not to let the same thing happen again.  So I have put myself on a year long challenge to complete 60 Christmas cards by December.  That breaks down to 5 cards a month.  Each 3rd Friday of the month I will show the 5 Christmas card I have created. Here are my first 5:

Card # 1 - This card is made from a brown lunch bag that I used the bottom of the bag to create a pocket to hold the gift hard.  Super simple!

Card #2 - Kraft card stock, stamps and a ribbon. Can't get any easier.

Card #3 - A simple layout and great paper from Colorbok made this card adorable...

Card #4 - ...And this card as well.  Images from Sliekje.

 Card #5 - A quick 10 minute card.  Yup, 10 minutes from start to finish.

So here they are.  I am proud of myself for getting on the ball and getting them up. I can't wait til next month to see the next 5.

Thank you all for stopping by and will see you soon with the next project.

Kelli
