Mele Kalikimaka !

Hi friends!

By the time this posts,

I'll already be on a wonderful getaway with my hubby ♥

25 years ago (in April)  we said "I do!"

and honeymooned in Hawaii for 3 GLORIOUS weeks ~

and those memories are etched forever in my mind and heart!

Except the last time we were in Hawaii,

I packed a bikini!

LOL!
Guess what WILL NOT be in the suit case this weekend?!

hee hee!

 

Today I'm sharing a card for the Splitcoaststampers inspiration site.

You can see the fun challenge site from today

here on Splitcoaststampers and I''ll share a little bit about my card!

I used these gorgeous coasters as a springboard

(and I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering these before I get home!) 

 For my card,

I've used Flamingo Bells from Avery Elle Stamps and dies

I've had this set for a good while and didn't get to use it until this week.

Sometimes stamping is fun like that!

I stamped/die cut the images and the popped them up

onto the card which is stenciled lightly for a bit of 'drama' :)

Wishing you a WONDERFUL weekend!
Big hugs, bigger blessings! ♥

2018 ~ My top cards in review!

Hi friends!

I'm so grateful to have shared this past crafty year with you all,

 getting to know you better as crafters and friends ♥
I have loved connecting through with you through blogging, social media 

and card/happy mail exchanges :)

Crafty friends truly are the BEST friends!

As we are nearly in 2019,

it's always memorable to take this time to look back 

at what our favorite cards were.

This is my 8th official year doing this on my blog :)

In 2019, I have a couple of exciting creative things planned, 
including a new and improved way that I blog/craft/connect!

I'm. so. excited!

I hope you'll be along for the journey, too!
