The January Girls Get Away Weekend (GGAW) has now come and gone, but what a fantastic time we had!! I was joined by a great group of ladies, and we spent the weekend doing what we love; stamping, scrapping, crafting, sharing and caring.

Three years ago I met a wonderful, sweet man. He rocked my world and made it so much better in countless ways. Today we are celebrating sharing our lives and our love for the past three years, and in less than one month we will be married!

Stamping a cute image on a card front can be fun, but stamping it twice, as a mirror image just ups the fun and cute factor off the chart! The Stamparatus makes it easy to do.

The last few days have been snowy in Wasaga Beach. This is both good and bad news!! It is good news because I love to ski, and Blue Mountain is opening this Friday. The bad news is that we haven’t seen the sun much as it has been cloudy and snowing. Today I have a sunny card to fix that!

Fall has definitely arrived where I live. The days are shorter, the nights are colder (and sometimes the days are cold too!), and there is a definite fall feel in the air. Fall can be a season of glorious colour as nature paints everything in new fall shades.

Gratitude is the easiest way to bring more good into your life. Living a grateful life is a choice we all make. We can focus on what we don’t have, or we can be grateful for the many blessings we have in our life. For me, that choice is easy. I am truly grateful for many things in my life, and I take time each day to think about at least some of them, to give thanks, and be grateful for them. It really is the easiest way to bring more good into your life.

I love the High Tide stamp set. If you check out page 145 in the Annual Catalogue, you will see a few great projects made with this stamp set. I especially love how they have cropped some of the greetings to give even more flexibility to how you use this set. For my card today I used a full sentiment stamp that shares a great message of support.

Sometimes our cards have stamped images or items we have cut with our Big Shot, but sometimes I like to make a card where the sentiment is the main focal point. My card today is just that type.

I'm sure you have heard the line Fake It Until You Make It. It may sound silly, but it can really work. If you smile, even it you have to work at smiling, it does make you feel happier. There are lots of ways to get to a smile that are not hard to do, and thinking of someone we love is an easy one. As you think of that person, and how much you love or appreciate them, you start to smile from inside. My card today celebrates the people that bring us that joy and make our lives better.

Live with Passion is such a good motto to live by. For anyone that knows me, you know that I can get very passionate about things I believe in. I try to live each day to the fullest, loving life and all it has to offer. Of course I'm human and have bad days, but I try to focus on the positive, and live my life with gratitude. It is just as easy to find the good things in life as the not so good, the choice is up to each of us.

Rooted in Nature was one of the first new stamp sets I started working with, and I love, love, love it! I also love one of the In Colours from last year, Lemon Lime Twist. Since Rooted in Nature has a number of tree and leaf images, it seemed very natural to use Lemon Lime Twist for some leaves for this card.

Do you have a supply of cards in your stash that have no greeting on the front? I like to keep some of these around for times when I need a card in a hurry. I don’t need to worry about whether I have a card with an appropriate sentiment on the front, these cards can be for anything, and I write whatever I want on the inside.
