Not sure when we will see each other again, but I made this card with him in mind. Hanging out with him that day, you would never know that he was Autistic and even if you could, so what!! The world is filled with way too much discrimination or idealisms about what should be considered normal. What SHOULD be normal is ACCEPTING and LOVING one another without any boundaries.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Welcome to our <b><a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/2017/02/01/february-blog-hop-3/">From the Heart Stamps Blog Hop</a></b>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes, From the Heart Stamps is back!!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Faith is doing well and getting back to doing what she loves most!!! </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have a<b> Love</b> and <b>Friendship</b> theme this month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Our designers are each showing a project created with this theme.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have arrived from <b><a href="http://stampingasfastasican-brenda.blogspot.com/2017/01/yippee-from-heart-blog-hop-is-back.html">Brenda's</a> </b>blog, you are in the right place, if not why don’t you start on the <a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/2017/02/01/february-blog-hop-3/">From the Heart Stamps blog</a>, so you don’t miss anything.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nothing says "LOVE" and "FRIENDSHIP" like the bond between siblings. I live this reality every day through my two youngest boys. They are the best of friends and the worst of enemies at times, but those feuds don't last too long! :) </span><br />

Hi there-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So while on my little hiatus... I took some time to organize my little craft room. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still not done, but the majority of it is!! :) Now hopefully, I won't be making any double purchases for things I already have!! :) I know I'm not the only one that has done this!! hehe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I created a trio set of cards. I just couldn't help myself!! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used <b><a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/default.asp">Paper Smooches</a></b>: <b><a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Freezy_Fellas_p/nos-12-123.htm">Freezy Fellas</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Hot_Concoctions_p/ocs-11-042.htm">Hot Concoctions</a></b>, and <b><a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/product_p/ocs-13-175.htm">Bitty Bungalows.</a></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love the coffee cardstock on this card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAt0-i7OR1FEwNTK4V8ZXhukOPyAvhdumj-DXg66Ui-1uLYtU8e3kFdG3nmVTuTJjVyJMg2wKXzcVmLaWqJC1Sc8TPn2aHmfrVk3sa3t2U_D-ppfq0fYFB1QEexUJhiVdDlI13GirxZWGJ/s1600/IMG_7177-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAt0-i7OR1FEwNTK4V8ZXhukOPyAvhdumj-DXg66Ui-1uLYtU8e3kFdG3nmVTuTJjVyJMg2wKXzcVmLaWqJC1Sc8TPn2aHmfrVk3sa3t2U_D-ppfq0fYFB1QEexUJhiVdDlI13GirxZWGJ/s1600/IMG_7177-2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did some no line coloring on all three cards!! I tried to at least! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stamped the coffee mug from <b><a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Hot_Concoctions_p/ocs-11-042.htm">Hot Concoctions</a></b> in antique linen distress ink. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the mugs were colored, I stamped the little snowman from <b><a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Freezy_Fellas_p/nos-12-123.htm">Freezy Fellas</a> </b>on the mug, as well as on some Neenah cardstock. Did some quick fussy cutting and some embossing onto vellum. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sentiment and heart above the coffee cup, both come from the <b><a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/product_p/ocs-13-175.htm">Bitty Bungalows</a> </b>set. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8G3gEfuvhsIyhAFnfFmIL0yxG9X6DpuBE0ND-WIfmZGIFSr0K0LhZY__N4LP1bSujl0VE-07Nt9l81L_cr3hH5d3P27flPC3m6GVJqAHLO8VVxd2eoyjtYjHfoVn9K_KUw370OELWQFGa/s1600/IMG_7176-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8G3gEfuvhsIyhAFnfFmIL0yxG9X6DpuBE0ND-WIfmZGIFSr0K0LhZY__N4LP1bSujl0VE-07Nt9l81L_cr3hH5d3P27flPC3m6GVJqAHLO8VVxd2eoyjtYjHfoVn9K_KUw370OELWQFGa/s1600/IMG_7176-2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one I colored in my favorite Teal color. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzKXB_2aZ7sqhws80nHBwE3htegMeZuQpKjWq4brfni572dBP26QS8koqnpTCOmBkKZ-rXotazUlE0FGkKsctrIv0omUh6PfrvmDITqX1CeEl0eV7wV7tQsm3ss1SSQwPdAgez5sExquFn/s1600/IMG_7175-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzKXB_2aZ7sqhws80nHBwE3htegMeZuQpKjWq4brfni572dBP26QS8koqnpTCOmBkKZ-rXotazUlE0FGkKsctrIv0omUh6PfrvmDITqX1CeEl0eV7wV7tQsm3ss1SSQwPdAgez5sExquFn/s1600/IMG_7175-2.jpg" /></a></div>

Morning-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so excited to be writing my first post for 2017! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a little hiatus, I'm feeling a little rusty, but excited to weening myself back into it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year, I realized that I had a shortage of masculine birthday cards. I am making it a point to make more of them this year!! Especially now that the little ones are getting invited to birthday parties from classmates. Think it's a good idea to keep a healthy stock around. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2h0zdZUX0shdyI59rGWTL_7B03enSlncEKVdk6jUYZWfZXhUNJJHaLKOZquBu2xqEbodq67lWQwlpH5ApWug9hTAHUm8gD0cADp2hnNbNCPbdH5v-3B1CeF_nHXDkmpQrOzTVuWqUyPvb/s1600/SPD+Spare+Me.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2h0zdZUX0shdyI59rGWTL_7B03enSlncEKVdk6jUYZWfZXhUNJJHaLKOZquBu2xqEbodq67lWQwlpH5ApWug9hTAHUm8gD0cADp2hnNbNCPbdH5v-3B1CeF_nHXDkmpQrOzTVuWqUyPvb/s1600/SPD+Spare+Me.jpg" /></a></div>

For this card today I am using <b><a href="http://www.sugarpeadesigns.com/product/spare-me">Sugar Pea Designs: Spare Me</a></b> stamp set. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Colored with Copic markers and did some serious fussy cutting around the image. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The patterned paper is an oldie but goodie from American Craft.<br />
"BOWL" was created using <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/collections/alphabets/products/owens-abcs">Lawn Fawn: Owen's ABC's</a> stamp and die.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I would like to share this card in the following challenges: </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I was done coloring the image, I did some fussy cutting, which I LOVE to do! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So honestly... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Things just got a little hectic this week... new venture...new schedule....</span><br />

Morning-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another project? Well yes!! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is a bit simpler than what I have been trying out lately!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's project is geared towards kids/children. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I have a few birthday's coming up and I wanted to make my own tags for the special birthday recipient! The tag is colorful and fun!! Who wouldn't shake those stars around?!?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The base of the tag is a wood veneer tags. I simply traced the tag onto patterned paper and trimmed accordingly. I used mod podge to adhere the paper to the tag. I didn't want the paper to be my focal point, so I covered it with a thin layer of Golden Gesso. Once it was dried, I applied a small of Faber Castell Glass Bead Glitter Gel to the edges. While that dried I colored, fussy cut and create my shaker photo frame. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See told you it was much simpler than my other creations! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you are having a great weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See you soon! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hugs! </div>

Hi everyone-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you missed me? Well, I hope so, cause I have missed you all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Things are still hectic around here, but they are going a lot smoother.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been staring at my stamps for weeks, so today I decided to actually make the time to do some crafting! The idea for this card has been buzzing in my head, since having a conversation with my friend Amanda! So I had to get it out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrEpWPqd1cCJh5sk58_zjz4xtUBg62_KbIonPEqDloNl7HZ_BqTk8hhta0mkW5iupnE5VoVvfTkhG61_XSbAhuKOTqorzHBaMH49YfN4X01Fx-GEzHRPwWJwl_O5Q3Ir7bp4f9WVbMy4pF/s1600/06182016wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrEpWPqd1cCJh5sk58_zjz4xtUBg62_KbIonPEqDloNl7HZ_BqTk8hhta0mkW5iupnE5VoVvfTkhG61_XSbAhuKOTqorzHBaMH49YfN4X01Fx-GEzHRPwWJwl_O5Q3Ir7bp4f9WVbMy4pF/s640/06182016wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a>All the items used can be found at <b><a href="http://sweetstampsblog.blogspot.com/">SweetStamps</a></b> and are linked back to the shop.<br />
I stamped <b><a href="http://www.sweetstamps.com/store/p1111/Italian_Writing_ATC_AF15.html">Italian Writing</a> </b>in Tuxedo black ink and sponged Antique Linen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I laid a thin layer of translucent embossing paste, using <b><a href="http://www.sweetstamps.com/store/p15/Art_Stencil_KITCHEN_FLOOR_3x6_as36004.html">Kitchen Floor </a></b>stencil. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To accentuate <a href="http://www.sweetstamps.com/store/p180/Poppy_Garden_Clear_Stamp_Set_SS4801.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Poppies Garden</a> flowers; which were colored with Copics and fussy cut, I applied a black frame around it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the picture, the card looks a little warped but, once I put it between a few heavy books, it will straighten out! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are all haveing a great weekend, see you soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hugs. </div>

Morning-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy gloomy Saturday!! Love the overcast weather, great day to spend outside doing some yard work!!! My middle boy LOVES veggies and I mean LOVES!!! He eats tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers right off the tree/vine! A few months back his class visited a local farm, where they got to pick veggies like carrots, beets, and sugar snap peas! He loved the sugar snap peas that we planted the seeds they give him and this plant is well over 4 feet tall!!! This morning we found the first peas!! Very exciting!!<br />
<br />

I've been loving playing with my embossing paste on my cards and I hope you don;t get tired of seeing them!! One this card I used white embossing paste and re-inkers to create the colored background!! Very little goes a long way, remember that if you decide to try this technique out! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Colored the image with Zig Clean Brush Markers again! :) Loving them very much!! </div>

Thank you so much for peeking in today... I know that I've been really quiet lately and it's all for good reasons I promise you! I was delighted to finally get some crafty time in this weekend, as I have missed not being able to craft. </div>

I am so impressed with myself this week. I had no idea of where this project was going, but I just went with it and I have to admit it felt good!! ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I played with my zig markers and I still haven't gotten the hang of them, but I will say that I just love how bright the colors are. I tried a few different techniques on all the flowers, so if they don't all look the same that is why. </div>

Morning everyone. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I am sharing a card made with the beautiful quote from the<b><a href="http://www.sweetstamps.com/store/p1482/SS4416_Eskimo_Folklore_clear_stamp_set_%2A%2APRE-ORDER%2A%2A.html"> Eskimo Folklore</a></b> stamp set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0WHGFI2L41FvYlzYVuSP_LuU6nNjbj9nLDrQJJVwudlWhLdFvSlHk5TDZ_qMC4EVTLowvdwci-wQ16fe8H1GopNjdr-_jvsRiPaXGjmXoKyNJFUN1xTpn1AW1b7dxzu56XsArjCCtKpY/s1600/EskimoFolklorewm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0WHGFI2L41FvYlzYVuSP_LuU6nNjbj9nLDrQJJVwudlWhLdFvSlHk5TDZ_qMC4EVTLowvdwci-wQ16fe8H1GopNjdr-_jvsRiPaXGjmXoKyNJFUN1xTpn1AW1b7dxzu56XsArjCCtKpY/s640/EskimoFolklorewm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a hard time with sympathy cards, not making them, just finding the right words. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is why I love the sentiment because you can use it on the front of a card like I have or on the inside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created the background using Tim Holtz distress inks: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://shop.sweetstamps.com/Distress-INK-PADS-THTIM.htm">Seedless Preserves, Dusty Concord, Blue China and Faded Jeans</a></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I lightly misted the watercolor paper, so that colors would blending, but not too much water. I didn't want them to run into one another too much. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then took my Tim Holtz Splatter brush and Lumin-Arte: Heavenly White, to give it some shimmery splotched. Stamped the scroll star stamp with pigment ink. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment is embossed using <b><a href="http://www.sweetstamps.com/store/p1307/White_Fine_Detail_EP.html">SweetStamps Detailed White</a></b> embossing powder on <b><a href="http://www.sweetstamps.com/store/p1015/Parchment_Crafting_36%23_Vellum_.html">Parchment </a></b>paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you've enjoyed my card today! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by. </div>

Hi everyone-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today is my DT post with From the Heart Stamps. This isn't a goodbye forever, I will be back!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a lot going on a personal level that I need to put 110% effort into and I am not giving my DT responsibilities the attention it deserves! :( However; like I said, I will be back. I love FTH images... Faith is an AMAZING friend to have and I am so glad for all the support she and the rest of the team have given me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I must share a few images before saying goodbye.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am loving this new <b><a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/shop/puppies-and-dogs/253-digging-dog.html">Digging Dog </a></b>image. My seven-month-old pup is doing that right now to our yard and it's very frustrating. I have no idea of how to get her to stop! She has plenty of toys to play with! So not sure of what else to do, but just give her big hugs! :)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Two of my favorite things to color; joined together in one image!!! <b><a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/shop/easter-spring-and-summertime/257-bunny-and-butterflies.html">Bunny and Butterflies </a></b>is my favorite new release image!!! I followed this weeks sketch and "twist" to create this fun and simple card. Lots of masking, sponging and glitter!!! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though I won't be on the team, I will still be joining in on the Stamp of the Month Challenge!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hope you have a fun-filled weekend planned with lots of CANDY and LOVE and LAUGHTER! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we bought some See's Candies thru my son's school and I love the pretty Easter paper, but it was just lacking a little something! So I turned to my supplies for a little help. </div>

I had so much fun making these wooden tags. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a picture tutorial on how I achieved it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought the wooden tags from Michaels, during Christmas, not sure if they still have them, but there are lots of other companies that make them too. I took the black round sticker off and lightly sanded it, to give it a smoother surface. Then I stamped the image using the Memento ink and I held it in place for about 15 seconds, that way the wood would soak up the ink. </div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilSyNLQ6XGAUTEHITYI_ArDx0MXG4ii-6u6OkckeLjJ_Fboh1sXPj3a_GWEd0gBk12k1jef4F4bdunbstRX9qZ7FYOEyc-sShojDWXCjQ5AEYv5bteW72Q9VlbDGnn4tzRtG_t4Kpmlxo8/s1600/032616cwm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilSyNLQ6XGAUTEHITYI_ArDx0MXG4ii-6u6OkckeLjJ_Fboh1sXPj3a_GWEd0gBk12k1jef4F4bdunbstRX9qZ7FYOEyc-sShojDWXCjQ5AEYv5bteW72Q9VlbDGnn4tzRtG_t4Kpmlxo8/s640/032616cwm.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I colored them using Prismacolor pencils. I only used three colors and not a lot of pressure was needed when applying color. Just remember to color with the grain of the wood first and then go back and fill in the gaps, once the first layer has been applied. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
OMG...They are so cute and I mean REALLY CUTE!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check them out <b><a href="http://www.sweetstamps.com/store/c86/%2A%2APRE-ORDER%2A%2A_April_2016_New_Releases.html">HERE</a></b><br />

For my card today, I am using <a href="http://www.sweetstamps.com/store/p140/Easter_Baskets_Clear_Stamp_Set_SS4606.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Easter Baskets</a>, which was released sometime last year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The image has been colored using Copics and then used a die cut to create the shape it's in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I adhered some fun foam behind the image before applying it to the card base. Once the card was completely assembled, I added glitter glue (Stardust) to the edge of the white base and the purple bow. (**The inside of card says: Happy Easter)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you've enjoyed my card today, as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can find it at Michaels or JoAnn's for about $1 per sheet!!</span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's easy because you just cut it once and it gives you the dimension, without the gluing and alignment of 3-4 layers!! </span></div>
