Hey, good lookin' ... whatcha got cookin' ?!

Hi friends and hello Monday!

In church, pastor tells us without fail each and every week

"Look to the persons beside you.

Shake hands, introduce yourself and say hello!"

It's always funny because everyone in the pews sits with their loved ones :)

So we stretch way across and shake hands with everyone

within a 20 people radius of us.

It often looks like we are playing a game of human twister!

There are always smiles and laughter and warm greetings :)

And that's the same blessing I give to you all today!

I think all of you are The Gratest ♥

Today I have a set of 2 cards once again

by The Project Bin stamps.

I love being on the Design Team for The Project Bin

because of Denise's innovative and unique stamps ... 

like this set called The Gratest (spelled as such!)

I used the grater and the spatula to create these two 'punny' cards:

 For both of these cards, I used Fun Stampers Journey cardstock as a base.
These gorgeous background papers from Bo Bunny + are so rich and vibrant!
I decided let leave the images uncolored to pop against the bold papers
and added the matching sentiment to each coordinating stamp,
which I outlined with my Brother Scan N Cut.
Many of The Project Bin's stamps come with matching dies.
While this set does not, they are easy to fussy cut!

 

There are so many possibilities with this fun stamp set
and I hope you like the 2 ways I've shown you here today.

We are a busy family of 8!
Our kitchen is one of the most crowded - and happiest - rooms in our home
and someone is always cooking :)
Grandma always said food = love ♥

Here is the stamp set ↓

We have an inspiration blog where you can see the DT cards each week day:

It's a Mysterious Cup of Coffee! :)

Holy Catfish! It's an actual blog post!! ;)   I am WAY behind in crafting and blogging - life is full steam ahead with no chance of slowing 'til the New Year :(

However, I am so excited to be in this round of Mystery Stampers!!  This month, our hostess of the mystery swap was the sweet Terry and she sent us this fantastic image from MFT called a la modes "miss you a latte" :)   What is a mystery swap, you might wonder?  It's a swap on SCS that sends out the same image to all the swappers and we create a card based on that one image - each card being unique and different but oh so fun!  This one especially tickled me being that I'm a huge Starbucks fan {yep, went on a 4 month hiatus until the Pumpkin Spice Lattes returned and eh, what can a girl do :)}

I wanted my card to be fun and festive - just as my S'Bux is for me!  If you have ever seen me get mine through the drive-through window, I usually drive off shouting "wooohooo!" :)  So I kept the papers fun and carried it over to the inside of my card ~ using a sentiment from Kraftin' Kimmie :)  And yes, I used buttons!  Lots + lots of buttons!  Hopefully whomever ends up with these in the swap won't mind my slight button obsession - they fit in with the design of the paper and I couldn't resist! I made two different designs of this card and this is one sample :)  Thank you, Terry, for a spectacular image to play and create with!

Thanks for stopping by!  If I haven't already been by to see you today, I will be superbly soon!!  

Big hugs,

Bigger Blessings!
