Getting ready for NCA All-Star Cheer

I hope everyone had a great weekend, I sure was busy with my daughters cheer competition and My favorite season has started..... Racing!!!! The Dayton 500 was Sunday and I am a very happy lady with Dale Jr pulling off the WIN! I am a huge racing nut.

My daughter's cheer team is leaving for NCA All-Star Cheer Nationals in Dallas, TX Thursday morning so the packing has begun. I will not be going with her this year so I am extra nervous and she is super excited. I am very proud of her and her team, they have worked so hard and have grown as a team so much this year. I wanted to send the girls off with a little something for the plane ride and to show them I was thinking about them. I made these little cheerleader goodie bags for each of the girls that are going to Dallas.

Supplies Used: CS: Concord Crush (retired) Melon Mombo 

Punches: Word Window, Boho Blossom, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle, 3/4" Circle, 1" Circle, Large Oval

MOJO 333

Happy FRIDAY! I hope everyone has amazing plans for the weekend! I have another Cheer competition this weekend for my daughter, and next weekend and the weekend after that!

I was struggling with ideas for a "just because" card so I could send a few friends a little smile in the mail. I like to send cards but do not do it often enough. I found the MOJO Monday 333 Sketch and it looked like a fun one so I came up with this. I just got my Flower shop stamp set in the mail as it was on back-order, I can see why, it is beautiful! I can think of a ton of ways to use this set.

Supplies Used: CS: Night of Navy, Melon Mambo & Pear Pizzazz

DSP: Gingham Garden

Stampin' Write Markers: Night of Navy, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, Garden Green

Back in the Stampin Up Family

I am super excited to say that I have joined the Stampin up Family again. I dropped last November after I had to have several surgeries on my right hand which cause not much crafting to get done. I had my last surgery on Monday Jan. 27th and took the week to recover! I have joined Stampin Up again as of last night. I will be updated my blog to have the catalogs and any specials being offered so you can take full advantage of them right from my page. 

Feeling thankful and blessed!
