Best Wishes!

By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.

Good morning!

I hope everyone is having a fabulous day!

Since I am in Japan, I am sure I am enjoying something interesting with my daughter. She and I share a love of learning so we are probably meandering through a museum or shrine.

I made this card before I left as our Director managed to land a  job closer to her home. She was spending almost 4 hours a day just driving to and from the office and she was missing out on some important stuff with her young kiddo .... I wish her much luck in this new adventure and I do hope it allows for her to spend more time with family.

Supplies:

Card stock from The Paper Studipo

Stamps "Swirls" from Autumn Leaves

Stamps "Banner Wishes" from Close to my Heart

Stamp/Die set "Floral" from Sizzix

Dies "Labels 4" from Spellbinders

Ink from Stampin Up!,  Close to My Heart & Palette

Liquid Pearls from Ranger

Thanks for stopping by!

It's your day!

You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.

~Douglas MacArthur

Good morning!

I'm actually off into the wild blue yonder my friends. Winging my way to Japan I am!

But I still wanted to share this birthday card I made for my manager as her birthday is today.

Filled all the air with fragrance and with joy.

Good morning my Crafty Peeps!

Today is the start of a new Anything Goes Challenge at Through the Craft Room Door and this week our sponsor is Art by MiRan.

I am using her image "Gentleman". 

As soon as I saw it I knew it would be perfect for the scrapbook pages I wanted to put together with my son's high school graduation pictures.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
