Happy Sunday!  Welcome to the Crafty Collaboration's Facebook group's Share It Sunday Blog Hop.  Hop along and see what this group of talented demonstrators from around the world have been working on this week!  To hop along, click on the next talented blogger in the list at the end of my blog!  

Today, we had a class showcasing the Fresh As A Daisy Suite Collection.  Everyone enjoyed crafting with the Cheerful Daisy Bundle and the pretty Fresh as a Daisy 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper.  This is such a fun suite to play with.  I love all the amazing papers in the paper pack.  The paper really does all of the work!  

 Happy Wednesday!  It's gorgeous outside today here in Frederick, Colorado!  I still haven't had a moment to go out and clean out my pots and get some color in them.  I'm hoping that this long, Memorial weekend I'll have an opportunity to get my hands dirty!  Mom came home last Friday.  It's been a bit challenging as she is processing the move to assisted living.  Lots of tears!  Send me strength please as it's so difficult to see her so unhappy...  

Today's Facebook is an attempt to cheer me up!  We made Shaker Cards using  the new Bright & Beautiful Memory Cards and More Card Pack and the Bright & Beautiful Memory and More Cards & Envelopes.  Those that came to the 2023 - 2024 Launch Party last Saturday had great fun creating their unique card using these products!  See the cards they made near the end of the post.  If you are looking for easy, bright and cheerful Birthday and Congratulations cards - this is the Stampin' Up! Product for you!  

 Happy Wednesday!   I'm back from our Bermuda cruise!  What a beautiful place!  Have you been to Bermuda?  If not, you have to add this to your bucket list!  The beaches are powder sugar soft and the pink sand beach of Horseshoe Bay is absolutely stunning!  The water is so clear and it's that gorgeous Cerulean blue.  

I haven't had much time to catch up yet as my mom is still at the rehab center and catching up on all the post vacation laundry.  She is coming home though on Friday!  She is looking forward to being back home.  

Rachel Tessman recently posted 6 adorable 3" x 3" cards using the Zoo Crew Suite Collection.  I just had to case some of them - thank you Rachel!  Her design is perfect for these adorable zany zoo animals!  If you haven't yet seen this suite, turn to pages 46-47 of the new 2023 - 2024 Annual Catalog to view products within this suite!  I changed mine up just a tad with dancing animals and a different sentiment.  

 Happy Thursday!  Have you been enjoying the lovely Spring weather?  I have been spending a lot of time indoors at the rehab center with my mom.  She is getting stronger every day!  Yesterday, I really wanted to be outdoors to take her for a walk.  Sadly, there isn't much to enjoy looking at where she is currently staying.  At home, we have an open space that attracts lots of birds, and the green grass from the golf course behind us is always mesmerizing!  The location she is at is off a very busy street on one side of the building, and a lot of older apartments on the other side of the building.  

I raced home this afternoon to whip up a card to share with you for yesterday's Facebook Live.  I showcased the beautiful blue Countryside Inn Suite Collection.  This collection incorporates lovely shades of blue:  Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy.  The Countryside Corners bundle includes the Countryside Corners Cling Stamp set with is one large stamp that then can be cut with the Countryside Corners dies to create fun frames.  The Countryside Inn 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper has pretty floral and animal prints all designed with the lovely blue colors.  If blue is your favorite color, this DSP is just for you!
