I love this little scene. It's like you are sitting in your cozy, warm house. Looking out into the cold, glittery snow. Enjoying the adorable snowmen you just built with your kids. Maybe you are even sipping some hot cocoa with marshmallows. Isn't that a sweet holiday thought?!

Of course I'm a SoCal girl, so thought of being out in the freezing, cold snow is a little overwhelming to me. I like the idea of a white Christmas but not the reality of it. Of course I will never turn down a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows. :)

Have you ever thought os joining one of my Online Stamp classes? You should!! I love giving my customers little surprises with their card kits. This month everyone received their own container of Nordic Designer buttons.

From My Heart - FMH04 - Sweet Nectar Society

Hi Friends!!!

Welcome to Sundays at my blog where I share a little bit "from my heart" and hope to inspire you to encourage others this week. And this week I have a challenge for ALL of you. Stamper or not.

Romans 12:8-10
"If your gift is encouragement, devote yourself to encouraging. The one giving should do it with no strings attached. The leader should lead with passion. The one showing mercy should be cheerful. Love should be shown without pretending. Hate evil, and hold on to what is good. Love each other like members of your family. Be the best at showing each other honor."

At our church back in Tulare, there is a sweet, young momma who felt called to start a ministry that takes professional photos of ill children. Her little act of obedience has turned into a wonderful organization called SWEET NECTAR SOCIETY. And her contagious love for sick children (that she refers to as "sweeties") has gone beyond just taking pictures of them. She also provides food and meals for the children's families while they are at the hospital. (Please take a minute to visit their website and see the amazing good they are doing in the lives of these beautiful children and their families.)

She leads with passion, cheerfully shows mercy, shows honor, and loves BIG. She is the ultimate encourager.

Last week on Facebook, Brittany posted that the Sweet Nectar Society is in need of hundreds of handmade Christmas cards to include in their Christmas meal bags. Well of course I jumped on that right away!! So I've been busy the last couple of days getting some cards together to send. The sweeties could use your help too. 

Here are the details:

So this is my challenge to you... Gather up some supplies. Set aside a little time. Grab some friends and family member and make some Christmas cards to help brighten the day of a child who will be in the hospital on Christmas.

Here is one of the cards I made:

Stamps: Snow Place

Ink: Basic Black, Real Red

Paper: Whisper White, various retired DSP

Accessories: Snow Friends Framelits, Perfect Pines Framelits, retired ribbon

I wanted to send "kid-friendly" cards that were fun and colorful. I searched through all of my cards and found a few more that would work. Here are some of the cards I'm going to send:

My son Trent made the "plaid" cards with the three Christmas trees on the front. I have a few more cards to add and hopefully I'll be able to send 30 cards. If I can find any more time, I will gladly make some more. I love a good reason to have to stamp. :)

I also wanted to send a card along to Brittany and her volunteers and encourage them on the awesome thing they are doing by sharing the light of Jesus all over Valley Children's Hospital. And to also tell her what an inspiration she is to so many.

Stamp: Garden in Bloom

Ink: Hello Honey, Chocolate Chip

Paper: Whisper White, Hello Honey, Vellum

Accessories: Large Polka Dots EF, 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Burlap Ribbon, Linen Thread

I had wanted to use a hummingbird stamp because that is the Sweet Nectar Society logo, but apparently I don't have one. So I figured a bee and a flower would be close. 

Thanks for sharing your Sunday with me!

Be blessed and be a blessing!

Stampin' Up! Howl-o-ween Friends Two Cards One Sketch

Hey Stampin' Friends!!
Happy Saturday!! I'm blogging on a Saturday! I've been on a roll lately with the card making so I figure I better run with it. Not every month is this creative. But with all the holidays at the end of the year, there is a lot of reason to create!!!

Today I even have TWO cards for you!! I know right?! Can you believe it?! I needed to make some thank you cards for my Online Class participants so I found a fun sketch and went to town. But then I realized that today is Halloween and how can I do a post on Halloween and not have a Halloween card?! So I used the same sketch and used it to create a Halloween card.

In celebration of Trick or Treaters all over your neighborhoods, here is my FaBOOlous Halloween card:

Stamps: Howl-o-ween Treat, Six Sayings

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Tangelo Twist, Basic Black

Paper: Tangelo Twist, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Happy Hauntings DSP, Silver Glimmer

Accessories: Boo To You Framelits, Spider Web Doily, Rich Razzleberry Cotton Ribbon

I just recently received the Hostess stamp set Six Sayings and I wanted to use the darling "FaBOOlous" sentiment before it was too late. Next week on my blog I will be featuring the Wondrous Wreath stamp set paired with Six Sayings sentiment set. It should be fun!

And here is the thank you card that I created for my Online Class:

Stamps: Snow Place, One Big Meaning (sentiment)

Ink: Basic Black, Tangelo Twist marker

Paper: Whisper White, Silver Foil, Silver Glimmer, Retired DSP

Accessories: Snow Friends Framelits, Silver Foil Doily, Silver Cord, Rhinestone Jewels, Banner Triple Punch

Isn't that little penguin just the cutest?! I {heart} him!!! I can't wait to design the cards for my November Online Stamp Class.

The sketch that I used comes form the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog. Make sure and visit them to see their fabulous samples!! This is sketch SFF102315. Here is the sketch:
