So happy today...school is out for the summer in just a few hours. I am looking forward to so many things over the next few months. I love having my little buddy here with me...I've missed her. We've got plans to travel, relax, spend time at home, picnic, take hikes, watch movies, swim, read books, and be crafty.
This first card was created using a beautiful postcard image from Made by Janet, Melissa Frances paper, rubon, and die, Maya Road chipboard scroll, glitter, and stamps from Papertrey Ink including Background Basics: Sheet Music and a sentiment from the 2010 Anniversary Set. My mom crocheted the sweet flower for me.
This little pincushion uses a Homespun Cotton Scrap from Crafty Secrets Family Collection. The trim is from Prima, trinket pins, chandelier beads, and chipboard heart from Maya Road, and the Neptune Cabbage Roses Ribbon from Memriemare.
(woman'sday.com) Better try and make this for Memorial Day...so heavenly.
(greenweddingshoes) Can't wait to try some of these pretty, little things!
(une-deuxsenses) Sweet, chocolatey pumpkin cookies for your soul...
Happy day today!
Melis
Love the cushion, Melissa. :)

Oh so sweet card and pin cushion! I can't wait to see your new creations! I was always so happy for summer break when my son would be home, too. He's now 21 but I'm always content when he is home but I know he will one day be testing his own wings. :(
Today is my sweet mom's birthday. We just came back from dinner but have a surprise dinner for her tomorrow.

Such sweet cards! You've also inspired me to make some pin cushions. Could you please let us know what you stuff them with? Is it regular batting or is it something heavier? Thanks!
