Something New

2016-08-30T08:00:00.000-04:00

Hello friends.

Long time no blog. My apologies for my hiatus. The long and short of the story is my computer hard drive went kaput and didn't have a way to blog until I replaced it. There is only so much you are able to complete from mobile apps on your cellphone. I'm happy to announce that I now have a new computer and I'm back blogging but with a new website too!

Come check out the new site over at www.literallymyjoy.com. It's still a work in progress as I am learning a new platform but I cannot wait to share what I am working on.

Summer Fun

Welcome to the “Blogging Friends Blog Hop!”

Who are the “Blogging Friends”? We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators located all across the U.S. and Canada who had never met before. Well, actually, we still haven’t met yet (in person)... But, through our common bond of Stampin’ Up! and a shared love of paper crafting we have created a fun new blog hop. Please join us on the 1^st of every month to see what wonderful things we have created!

Each month we’ll have a different theme: this month it’s Sumer Fun

Welcome to July stampers! Let the summer begin! I was inspired by a few quotes I found on the world wide web. (who even says that anymore?) Really it’s called Pinterest. I have a slight crush this week on alphabet stamp sets and you will see what I mean. I'll be sure to add all the supplies and color combination information below. Are you ready to see the results?

This first card is being called: Be a Pineapple
I really should have used the bigger pineapple stamp (it's now on my wish list) but I made do with what I had on hand. I slightly cased the catalog and made a few other changes (go check it out page 146).

Here is the inside.

This next card is called: Kite Flying

This next card is called: Stars

This last card is called: Beach

In case you’ve never ‘done’ a blog hop before, it’s really easy! At the bottom of this post, you’ll see another image similar to the one above, and when you click on it, you’ll be taken directly to the next blog in the hop. Keep clicking on that image at the bottom of each blog post, and you’ll hop through all of the participating blogs, back to where you started – and you’ll see all the amazing projects and maybe will inspire you too! If you’d prefer to hop about at your leisure, you can click on the individual links for each blog. Happy Hopping! We’d love if you would leave us some comments (aka – Blog Love) to let us know what you think. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello Friends! While flipping through the catalog the Swirly Bird stamp set just caught my eye. Well just one image. It was calling to be an apple. So I just went with it. Do you have someone to be your apple?
