just me....
so much to make me smile today...
things that make my heart swell until it feels there isn't any room left in it...
but there always is....a lovely thing I like to call a miracle...
This card was created for Emma's Paperie this month...our challenge was to recycle an item...go green....be creative...I had fun. The die cut tag was made using packaging from Graphic 45 ribbon...you can read about it and find the supplies HERE on the Emma's Paperie blog.
Next up...a little something created for a very special someone...sweet and beautiful Melissa Frances goodies used here...plenty more beauties created by the Melissa Frances Design Team can be found HERE.
And lastly...
Lots of Papertrey Ink goodies used on this including:
Dotty Biscotti paper
Background Basics: Botanicals (stamped on the doily)
Hope your day was wonderful...what made you smile?

HI!
WHAT MADE ME SMILE TODAY?
WELL..I THOUGHT OF A NEW LITTLE BABY THAT ONE OF MY FRIENDS JUST HAD...AND HOW I GOT TO HOLD HIM..AND HOW TEENY TINY HIS FINGERS WERE..AND THAT MY FINGERS USED TO BE THAT TEENY TINY. BABIES REALLY ARE MIRACLES..AND THAT IS WHAT MADE ME SMILE.
YOUR WORK IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION.

Making me smile today...My grandson is back home...smiling ear to ear...both him and me. Just finished (and posted) two precious dresses for my grandbaby girl...so old fashioned and stinking cute. Simple blessings. Thanks for the reminder, Patty

Visiting your blog makes me smile; always.......
What's making me smile today? We're having dinner tonight together with both of our sons. They're grown up and having both of them home for dinner doesn't happen often. I cherish those moments and I'm looking forward for this evening. I love my sons and yes; they alwys make me smile ( and happy, thankful and so on...)

I smiled at coming back home after being away for a few days at how much I missed my bunch of loud, goofy, smelly boys :) Wonderful projects Melissa!

On the way home from picking up my little man from second grade he's telling me the stories of his day. That would be enough right there but, then he said "Frankly, Mom,I wish gym lasted all day!" He just turned eight and he said "Frankly". Don't know why but, it cracked me up. He always uses language above his age and it always makes me smile because he literally is a "little" man! Thank you for all your wonderful creations. I love them so!!!

You know, it never occurred to me to stamp on doilies! What a fantastic idea! Love all your cards today, and can't wait to try out that bit of inspiration!!

I found out today that a dear friend has fully recovered from her spinal fusion surgery and is now painfree - that's a miracle! And that made me smile, along with my two wonderful children, two cats and this gloriously sunny day!
Your cards are fabulously beutiful - you have mad talent! A feast for the eyes every day!
