Throwback Tuesday: I love our Watercolor Pencils!

Today's Throwback Tuesday post is quite literally a throwback to one of my very most favorite cards I made last year. I thought it might be fun to dig this out and share with all of you one of my first cards I made with our Watercolor Pencils. (Actually, thinking back on it, I believe this was the very first time I used our Watercolor Pencils!)

Eeek! Here it is!

Would you look at that bright, colorful pink background!? Yep, that was the Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil and I used the Aqua Painter to get the watercolor effect. I used last year's Love Notes Framelits (now retired) to make my envelop and hearts. The "love" sentiment is from the Sunshine Wishes Framelits (not retired!) and it was so perfect!

I made this card for my husband last year. While the colors aren't exactly "masculine", he loved it anyway and clearly, took good care of my card---and thankfully so, as I can share it with you today!

If you haven't tried out Stampin' Up!'s watercolor pencils, you really need to! They are so much fun! In fact, I invite you to attend my Interactive Card Class on Sunday, so you can get to play with them! Click Here to register!

Hope you enjoyed a peek at a card from last year's stash and I hope to see you around soon!

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 ...
