The heart that loves...

The other night, my 3 yr old son, Antonio and I went for our nightly walk around the neighborhood...jumping over cracks in the road...running after the bunnies sitting quietly on people's lawns...jumping in puddles left by the sprinklers...our nice "quiet" time together. And than all of a sudden, he looked up at me, grabbed my hand and said, "Mamma, you're my best friend!" I think my heart skipped a couple of beats right before it melted! I stopped, picked him up and gave him the tightest hug! Those are the moments in life that I cherish! That one little sentence, made my day...week...year! It keeps my heart young!

This is a card I made for yesterday's Ways to Use It Challenge over at Splitcoast. It was to use pleats on your card. So I made my flower out of cardstock and felt and my "stem" out of pleated ribbon. I added some pieces of a pick left over from Easter, a stamped quote by Heidi Grace, hemp cord, some Martha Stewart punched butterflies and when I was all finished, I sprayed the entire card with some Shimmerz Spritz in Cotton Candy for just a little shimmer.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Have fun with your loved ones!!

Hugs,

When in doubt, Shop! ♥Free Digi Stamp♥

Today is Thursday! That means it's time for some digi stamps by Lindsay's Stamp Stuff! This week I used her simple but cute Shopping Bags stamp. My card is based on yesterday's Sketch Challenge over at SCS. I colored in the bags with some Copics and then I added some real pink tissue paper to the larger bag. I used some paper by Pink Paislee and my cash register receipt from my recent shopping trip to AC Moore, for some crafting supplies!! hehe Don't think I'll ever give this to anyone, but it was fun to make!

Lindsay is extended her sale again! Now it will be forever!! That's right, from now on, for every $5 that you spend, you will get a free digi stamp! Just visit the Lindsay Stamp Stuff Store!!

Now let's go and find this week's FREE Digi Stamp!!
