Transformation Tuesday: Bigger is Better!

As a mom with a three-year old little girl, we watch a lot of Sofia the First.  I actually enjoy Sofia.  I enjoy the quick, short, and teachable stories for toddlers as well as the catchy music.  I really like the music.  For those who don't know much about Sofia the First all you need to know for today is that Sofia has a sister named Amber, who is very much your sterotypical spoiled Princess.  And she likes things "big"!  In fact, she sings a song in the first season that's called "Bigger is Better".  And for Transformation Tuesday, I'm singing it in my head as I write today's Blog Post.

Saturday I shared with you my version of some mini valentines.  They were quick, easy, and used up some scraps that I can never bear to part with.  Today I decided to "upgrade" these little minis by making them a standard sized card.  Because of the larger size, you can incorporate a few additional elements and transform them into some pretty cards to send as Happy Mail!


Need a refresher from Saturday?  Here's the BEFORE:


As you can see, the after really stepped up my mini cards, but I didn't really change a whole lot to the actual card concept.  I still used 1/2" scraps of the Painted With Love Designer Series Paper and I used the Sure Do Love You Bundle to make the elements.  I even stuck with using the Metallic Thread (Gold) on the one card.  I did incorporate the same colors and just matted my card fronts a bit more to help bring out all of the colors.  Take a look at each large card in more detail:




So now, not only can you whip up some mini cards for classroom use, you can make some larger cards to send in the mail for Family & Friends, too!

Top 10 Tuesday: 12 Days of Christmas Movies

Well, so instead of a Top 10, I'm changing it to a Top 12!  Because I love The Twelve Days of Christmas and I love Christmas movies and why not combine both together to make it 12 Days of Christmas Movies!?  I suppose we each all have our own opinions as to what Christmas Movies are *must-haves* on our Watch List, but I would like to think there are some that just generally required, by public agreement.  So, here's my Top 12 Days of Christmas Movies List, complete with a FREE Printable so you can make this a Holiday Bucket List Item, if you'd like!  I'd love to hear if your favorite movie made the cut or not! OH---and one more thing---these movies are certainly not listed in an specific order, they are more in the order in which I may or may not have already watched them... (#SorryNotSorry!) 12.  The Santa Clause (1994) When this movie first came out, I was totally entranced by the interpretation of the North Pole, courtesy of Disney Magic, that I al...

Podcast Episode 4: Accountability

How many of you feel like you're on a never-ending hamster wheel, just running and running and running?  Do you blame the wheel for moving too fast or too slow?  Do you blame the cage for not having any space?  Or do you figure out that you need to stop, get off the wheel and get out of the cage to endless space? I think we all have those seasons in our lives where we easily blame the wheel or the cage.  And the difference between staying on the wheel and blaming it for staying on it and stopping, getting off and getting OUT is our ability to take accountability. Take a listen to this week's podcast and let me know if it inspires you to stop running on the wheel and instead, figure out how to stop, get off the wheel, and get out of the cage.

Lent 2020: Day Two

Today's post is brought to you by...COFFEE.  I'm not going to lie, I really did consider giving up coffee for Lent, but when I mentioned it to one of my best friends, his response was "well, I'll see you in 40 days!"  I was kind of shocked at his lack of support, but then I read a post that was shared with me regarding Lent and some "food for thought" and one of the bullet points read "Don't give up coffee. Jesus will forgive you, but your family might not."  Well---I heard God loud and clear on that one.  Don't give up coffee.  And I'm so very glad I did not. See today, I had a TON of things to accomplish.  We're gearing up for a big weekend and I had quite the laundry list to do.  Not only was my laundry list (and my laundry basket) huge, but I didn't sleep well last night.  I had a very restless husband, so I put myself out on the couch.  Which wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly great, either.  So I already ...
