Savor the Journey

 Have you ever wished you could send or give a “Good Luck” wish to someone?  I recently wished I could do just that, when my son was taking the National Registry exam for EMT.  (YAY!  BCG is now a Licensed EMT!!!  Congratulations, Brandon!)  Alas, I’ve come up with this ‘after’ that fact …. isn’t that just [...]

This little image just makes me smile!  While I’m not into annual ‘resolutions’, this year I’m telling myself to really get serious about a true exercise routine.  And this is just the image to boost anyone’s spirits toward that goal.  Wouldn’t this be a cute little project to give to your workout friend when she [...]

However, I’m a bit “off-time” with posting my SCS Sketch Challenge, SC204, creation for this week!    Whew!  It’s wild & crazy around here if you’re hosting a holiday dinner for the family, or prepping to travel, or both, or any of an assortment of combinations here in the U.S.A.!   Please don’t tell … but I still [...]

Uh-ohhhhh.  Our Riley is becoming a stamp desperado.   Now he’s willing to do most … er .. I meant “moose” work for stamps!  So gather up your wrinkled cottons in a laundry basket, and let the moose do the work!   “Laundry Riley” is one of the 2 new Rileys being released tonight (Thursday, Nov. 6) by Hanna Stamps!    [...]

In this area, it’s easy to find pumpkin patches, ready to provide a hayride, wagons, or even a small train ride through the prepared fields of pumpkins, cornstalks and scarecrows.  It looks like Riley moose has found his own pumpkin patch, just in time for the Hanna’s Friday challenge, “Happy Fall, Y’all”, HSC38!   We’re challenged to [...]

Are you ready for some Halloween ideas??  (hahaha … If you thought I was going to say “Football” … then you also realize that this is the season for ‘more‘ than stampin’!!  *wink* (Okay … I digress ….  … … … GO Dallas COWBOYS! )   This week’s Friday Hanna Stamps Challenge is hosted by a [...]

I just adore the “Ballet Sophie”stamp!  Did you know that it is a cooperative effort between Hanna Stamps and Eclectic Paperie, to raise funds for battling childhood cancer?  A portion of all proceeds from this stamp will be given to The Childhood Brain Tumor Foundation in the name of Kelly Laude.  This stamp is offered exclusively by [...]

It’s hot here in Texas … but Riley has found a nice, snowy ski slope!  I hosted the ‘Gettin’ Punchy’ challenge recently at Hanna Stamps’ “Stampin’ in Your Jammies” night.  The challenge was to use 2 or more punches on your creation!  This one includes 3 different circle punches and the scallop circle punch, all within [...]

Well, finally there’s a special place for all sick moose to find the care that they need, right here at Moostropolis Moospital.  This room is filled, but I’m sure there are still some vacancies for whatever ails the moose that is/are near & dear to you.    “Sick Riley” is one of 20 new Riley stamps [...]

Riley has some great advice for all of us, “Keep Life Simple”!  So he’s spent the day lounging on the beach, listening to the gentle ocean waves, sipping on something cool & refreshing.   I wanted to have a little fun with this cute stamp, so I peeked in at the SCS Technique Challenge for this [...]

Today’s Friday Challenge (HSC14) in the Hanna Stamps Forums at SCS is making a masculine card with either Riley or Hanna.  I adore my Riley’s  … and especially this one of Riley in his tent.   Once I had determined what paper to use for his tent, I was able to select the rest of the coordinating [...]

 I felt that Riley’s plane belonged ‘in the sky’ …. so off he goes!  When I spotted this cloudy paper by The Paper Studio, I knew exactly which stamp it would accent.   Friday’s Challenge in the Hanna Stamps SCS forum is to create a card with a ‘shape’, other than a rectangle.  I just started tracing some [...]

  Most of the time when I use another new Riley stamp … I think it’s my favorite one yet.   Well, it has happened again.  My first personal rider was a red tricycle … and even though Riley’s is a bicycle, I usually think of red first for a shiny new rider.  Riley is off and [...]
