Just me....stopping in quickly tonight as it has been a little while since I've posted. I've been busy traveling a bit and then celebrating a wonderful, sweet day with my little girl and loved ones. Sunday was my little girl's 8th birthday as I've mentioned before, and it was such a special day. It is right up there at the top of my all-time favorite days ever. One of those days I wish I could replay again and again and catch every moment of from different points of view, perspectives, etc., just so I could catch it all. We had around 70 friends and family members here to celebrate her special day, threw a fun late Summer picnic in the park, and just loved being together. Now I miss them all.
I ran across this beautiful vintage image from Made by Janet and it immediately brought on thoughts of my mom...always there right by my side to hold me up, help me, love me, and encourage me. She has a way of making me feel so special and I know she does that for my sister-in-laws as well. I also couldn't help thinking of my little girl and the love I have for her...complete adoration.
The stamp sets I used are all from Papertrey Ink and include the new Iconic Images and Gratitude Journal sets, and the Daily Designs stamp set. The paper is from Melissa Frances and October Afternoon, chipboard and Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels, and Cabbage Roses Ribbon from memriemare.
Lastly, a recipe booklet created for Emma's Paperie this month with our focus on Sassafras Lass papers and products.
All of the supplies used on this are listed for you HERE on the Emma's Paperie blog.
Thanks for stopping in.

I think it's one of the most beautiful cards ever. Happy birthday to Sierra! :)
