Tuesday Trigger: Classically Modern

Happy Friday my friends!  I'm so excited about today's post and how it turned out.  When Cath posted this weeks Tuesday Trigger photo, I knew exactly what I was going to make!  I love when that happens :)  HERE IS THE LINK to the original post and photo.  There's still time to get in on the fun!

 

 Isn't that a great picture?  I was drawn to the blue and white and I love the flowers too!  I thought I would make a quick and easy set of note cards for my grandma, whom we happen to be visiting this weekend as well!  Win win, right?  

I haven't quite mastered the card group photo shot yet, so this was the best I could get.  I made eight cards in all, four blue, four white.

I kept the inks the same, Momento blue on the white cardstock and CTMH White Daisy on the blue cardstock.

I varied the sentiments to give grandma several to choose from.

And positioned my Hero Arts flower off center :)  This is similar to a card I made for my bloggy friend Mary Pat, HERE, but for this set it's all stamping.  I literally made all eight cards in about 30 minutes while my sweet, wonderful husband was fixing dinner!  (I really hope he's reading this) :)

I'm loving how these turned out and am loving Cath for the inspiration!  Grandma will be thrilled, I'm sure!

I packaged all eight cards and their envelopes up in one of Papertrey Inks clear card boxes, LOVE these!

Stamps:  Hero Arts Stencil Flower, PTI Think Big Sentiments
Ink:  CTMH White Daisy and Momento
Paper:  PTI Stampers Select White and Enchanted Evening 

That's it for me today!  We're visiting Grandma and Grandad tonight and then off to visit our friends and their new baby tomorrow.  Lots of visiting this weekend :)  What do you have going on this weekend?  Thanks for popping in today and I'll chat with you later :)

Tuesday Trigger

I know, it's Thursday.  I haven't lost it...yet :)  I've been watching the Tuesday Trigger pictures over on the MOXIE FAB blog lately and I finally had one that struck my fancy!

Check out that Pyrex!  Pretty cool right, totally makes you want to get crafty huh?

Here's my card:

I went a little crazy with the warm colors on this one.  Thoughts of summer are creeping in on me I guess.  I have a friend who just ran her first 5K on Sunday and I made this card for her :)

In other news, we had a bit of crazy weather here AGAIN, in Missouri.  Mike came to meet me for lunch and as we're sitting at the restaurant, the tornado sirens go off!  We had just finished eating and knew there was no shelter there so we decided to make our way back through downtown and to my office, where we knew there was a safe place to go.  We made it back to the office and waited out the storm there, with my co-workers, until 12:45 PM.  Later we found out the storm produced four tornadoes in our area and some significant damage in Sedalia, MO, a town about an hour and a half east of us.  Abie and Landry both took shelter at their schools and it was definitely the talk at the dinner table!  I'm hoping for some calm weather now.  Let's hope this is it.

Also, we took Abie to the doctor yesterday and while her arm is healing well, she still needs to wear her splint for at least two more weeks.  I think she was pretty disappointed, but she kept her chin up.  We're hopeful that she'll get to take it off at the next appointment!

Thanks for sticking with me today!  I hope you're having calm, beautiful weather where you are.  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow!
