Guava Flowers

Here is another "entree" on the Card Buffet.  It is so hard to believe this is my last event with the gals here.  I've met so many great ladies!

The card has the upper front piece sliced off.  Then layered with the Groovy Guava prints papers, which retires very soon.  Remember to stock up on any of the "In Colors" from this last year that you enjoy using!!, as they'll no longer be available.  The flower is from the Stitched Exotics stamp set.  I tried REALLY hard not to tie too many ribbons for this last event.  I always get many fits for my ribbons.  Ha.  :)  Notice on this one, we'll just overlap the ribbon and adhere behind the flower for fast leaves!  

Have a great Tuesday!

Card Buffet Sample!

This happy little apple card is a sample of what's gonna be on the upcoming June Card Buffet!  It's been a very fun event to plan.  If you can't make it and would like a sampling of the buffet mailed to you, contact me via email about the options for that.

Once again, using an image from the Tart & Tangy set with the coordinating Summer Picnic paper.  Love this combo.  With utilizing the punches, it makes for a fast card!  Sad that this "Much Appreciated" sentiment set is retiring.  Be sure to check your retiring list before it's too late.

Happy Strawberry Birthday!

I needed a couple birthday cards, so decided to give my little strawberry stamp some "chunky sprinkles".  If you don't have these, you really should get some before the current mini expires.  They are so much fun to work with.  The little strawberry is out of the Tart & Tangy set from the mini as well.  Just marker, stamp, apply Tombo adhesive and sprinkle!  

The tag is made from the word window and then sliced off.  

I have found that "knotting" the bow and wrapping around makes a looser knot and "smooshes" better for mailing.

Hello Everyone!

Yes, I realize how horribly negligent of this site I have been.  Sorry!!  Following our homecoming with Maleah, we ended up with most the entire family sick for a l-o-n-g spell.  Add to that all the adjustments going on in our lives and our upcoming move .... need I say more?!  Ha.  :)

Anyway, I've been busy preparing for my last event here in ND.  Also tending to some thank-you's.  

As well as announcements for Maleah!  Thought you might like to take a peek at the creative progress around here.  The class projects must remain unseen though until the event.  :)

Hope you're all enjoying a wonderful summer.  Ours is one like no other, but we are well and enjoying the many blessings God has showered on us.

Thank Ewe!

Here's a little "thank ewe" packet that I made up for a couple thank you gifts I needed. I love this simple packet holder. Super easy to make and it holds about 4 cards really well. This card set is made with the Cutie Pie papers and the Pun Fun stamp set. I'm not usually the "punny" type, but this set is irresistible.

As you can tell, I haven't had much time for stamping ..... so it might be slim pickin' around here for ideas for awhile. There seems to be a big event going on in our lives that just is taking all the time I have right now! :) We are just so thrilled the time is drawing closer that we can travel and bring our daughter HOME!!

Announcing the newest member of the family!

In case you don't know yet, I thought I should post here as well!  Introducing the newest member of our family .... the most precious Maleah Faith Arsema Roberts!  See many more pics and all the details over here!

Monday Moments

Well, since my computer has been quite ill, there's not been an opportunity to post! But it's on the mend now. This little card group was one of the stations we had at my Spring Stamp-a-Stack this last weekend. It was great seeing everyone!! Wow, life is changing around here. I am definitely gonna be following a new routine/schedule in the coming weeks and will keep you posted as to when I resume events.  

This set is the Just Celebrate from the current mini-catalog.  I love all the sentiments you get in this set!  It's fun to just grab a paper pack and do up similar cards following the same design.  

Please know that while life is a changin' around here ... I am still available to answer your questions and/or replenish supplies for you.  The best way to contact me is through email: robertsfamily@mlgc.com.

On Wed. (the 9th) we should hear how our court appointment went in Ethiopia.  We are SO eager for this part of the journey to be over and to travel!!!  To keep up to date with that progress, check in over HERE!
