Hey there...from Universal Studios, Orlando 33

Hi there! Here today to share a card I made prior to going on Spring Break vacation, using a fun stamp from the Waltzingmouse Back in the Saddle set along with various pretty patterned paper from My Mind's Eye. Nothing too fancy, merely a pretty store bought flower from my LSS paired with a fancy die cut shape made using a Spellbinders  Tear Drop Circles die, sweet sentiment and pretty patterned paper.

We are gathering our belongings and preparing to fly back to our Home Sweet Home :) Here are a few more photos from our trip to Universal Studios Orlando 2003 and 2012 that I would like to share with you:

WITH love...from Disney World 41

Hi there! Hope you are having a great week! I made this card before heading out of town on Spring Break using a few of my favorite paper crafting products.

I combined pretty patterned paper from the Pink Paislee London Market collection along with the sweet heart image from the Waltzingmouse Nordic Spring set that coordinates perfectly with a die from the Spellbinders Classic Hearts set.  

and I have a few photos taken while on our trip with some of our favorite friends ;)

Happy Spring Break! 34

Hi there sweet blogging friends! I am away on Spring Break with my family enjoying Disney World in Orlando, Florida! I'm still around as there is always time for relaxing in the evening and that is when we all have our personal time :) I even brought a little something crafty to play with!!! If you are looking for something crafty, you will want to check back. I will have plenty of projects to share throughout the week as I always work ahead to meet my DT requirements :)

Scott, Meredith and I arrived Saturday evening in Orlando and spent all day Sunday romping around the Magic Kingdom. 

Want to see something funny? Here is a photo of Meredith taken today:

and the photo shown below was taken in September 2009 at Walt Disney Land in California. How time flies!!!

Connor arrived late Sunday evening because he spent the first week of Spring Break volunteering with a youth church organization. He traveled to Mexico and built two basic homes with the group. We are so proud of him! He has been involved with this organization for the past several years and has volunteered for one week every Winter, Fall, Spring and Summer break.

We have another busy fun filled day planned for tomorrow so surely I will some new photos to share! I'll be back Tuesday, March 20th with an all new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge. Thanks so much for looking! Be Sweet :)
