Catching Up

Good morning, everyone! So, did you watch the royal wedding yesterday? I have to say I love, love, love Kate's wedding gown. Very elegant and gorgeous. So wishing Princess Di still here. Yep, I am one of those people who love Princess Di. I always admire her kind heart and her efforts of bringing more attention to those whose less fortunate. Because of her I got interested in charity and volunteer works. Back to William & Kate, beautiful wedding I must say. :)

Now, let's get on to a new Wee Memories challenge. This week it's all about paper piecing and our generous sponsor is Tiffany Doodles.


I sure do love this cute ducky. I think he has a vintage feeling to it. For the pattern of the jacket, I stamped The Market Street "Bit of Burlap" background stamp and that doily border is from My Mind's Eye. I LOVE this doily set and the price for the set is only $5.99. Gotta love that price!

Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
Partytime Tuesdays - Anything Goes

You can check out the DT fabuloous inspirations HERE.

This week seem to pass by pretty quick. On Thursday, I did a little bit of consulting work and afterwards I decided to venture out to Archivers store. It's a bit out of the way for me, so I don't go there often, but it's about 15 minutes away from where I do my consulting work, so I figure might as well swing by. And that's where I found the fabulous My Mind's Eye Stella Rose stamp sets. This is the first time I use it, so I will get some more samples ready for you for next week.

And... I finally get to see my published cards on Paper Crafts Card Creations Volume 9! I received the magazine Thursday afternoon and been looking at all the awesome inspirations in there. I did take a couple pics and will share it here later so my mom and siblings can see it as well. :) Also, excited to share that I have another card picked up for Paper Crafts Holiday edition.

That's what's going on on my neck of the wood. What's new with you all? Anything exciting going on? Any plan this weeekend? I am hoping that I can finish several cards this weekend. Other  than that no special plan. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for stopping by!! Hugs. xoxo
