Let's Party Like It's 1776.

Hi friends. :)
 
Can you believe that the 4th of July is right around the corner?  It's BY FAR my favorite holiday, and I am positive I'll have 8700 pictures to add to my album.
 
I've been enjoying making the cards ahead of time so I can just slip those pictures in.  Makes it even more quick and easy to keep my album caught up!
 
 
I love the stitching on the title card....even though I am pretty sure I found the needle with the smallest eye.  Make sure you've got a BIG eye'd needle or it's REALLY hard to thread the twine.  Trust me. :)


 
For these cards, I used Firecracker Twine, Happy Days clear stamps, Days of the Week journaling cards, and a Paper Lace Doilies.
 
Have a safe holiday!
 
xoxo, Amber

School's Out For Summer!

Hi friends!
 
 
Neysa's first year of pre-school is over and we ADORED her teachers.  They are 2 of the most kind people I think I've ever met in my life.  They truly love teaching and the kids.
 
To show our appreciation, I went out and bought some gift cards to Starbucks, Bath and Body Works, The Sweet Tooth Fairy, and Hobby Lobby. 
 
(how can you go wrong with any of those places?!?)
 
 I found some little gift bags that I actually had leftover from Valentines Day.
 
(funny the things you find as you get ready to move....)
 
I put them in the gift bags, added a cute little tag, and tied them up with Timeless Twine's super fun Firecracker twine.
 
 
And there you have it!  A gift that any one will enjoy! :)
 
xoxo, Amber
