Impression Obsession Thursday Challenge-Favourite Techniques



There are so many fun techniques out there to explore and play with, but this week I decided to share my love of dies with you! That's because I'm sharing a sneek peek of the New Dies that will be posted soon in the Impression Obsession Store

The Vase is from a set of five

I filled this lovely vase with Tulips!!!! So sweet!!!!

Sadly, we needed a sympathy card this week as our good friend Lisa lost her Beautiful Mother last week. Our heart goes out to Lisa and her Family at this time.

The sentiment is from the Sympathy Sentiments Clear Stamp Set

Make sure you head on over to the IO BLOG to see who's playing the challenge today and to post your entries.

Happy Stamping

Happy Birthday Mom!




Happy 74th Mom!


I know I don't tell you enough how much I love you and all that you do for me

You are the Rock within our little family, ever strong like a mighty oak

You have loved and supported me without question

Even when you didn't agree with my decisions, you've always been there to cheer me on and mend me when i'm broken. Wiped a tear, put me in my place with your brutal honesty.

 You have  always loved me, even when I haven't been very loveable

You are one of the most Beautiful Women I know, both inside and out.

I admire your strength and your heart, which shines through the sometimes harsh and outspoken exterior. I am truly blessed and honoured to call you my Mother

All my Love,
