June Cards and Cocktails

Here are just a sample of the fun cards we made this month at Cards and Cocktails!  It was very relaxing and everyone made at least five cards, with plenty of paper and supplies to make many more,  and all while enjoying a festive beverage and great conversation:)  The paper pack we used was Lucy X7149B and the stamp sets shown are Delight C1452, Card Chatter-Birthday D1475 and A Blossom A1121.  Even I was impressed by how many cards you can make from just one Close to My Heart paper pack...I made 16 and still had half of my paper left over!  This just makes me want to tell my hubby Kyle what a great deal my favorite hobby is and why I should order more stamps.  We haven't purchased a store bought card in years!  I hope to see you at cards and cocktails next month at 6:00 on July 26th when we will be making cards with the Pemberley paper pack.

How can we???

Like I said on my scrapbook page...how can we have been together for so long and still be best friends? When I was thinking about it the other day, I realized we have been together for over 12 years and married for almost 4!

I know that I don't always tell Kyle this, but I couldn't have made it through this past year without him. It has been a rough year for a few different reasons, but I wouldn't have wanted to tough through it with anyone but him. I am hoping for some good things to celebrate together soon.

In my layout, I used some older paper and bright colors in honor of Valentine's Day. I also used my spray pen for the first time and I love it! I filled it with water, black re-inker, and pearl paint. I don't know if you can see it in the pictures, but the paint made it a little shiny and it looks so cool in person. I can't wait to spray other projects...
