</div><div style="text-align: center;">Super fast post today, lots of things to get accomplished in MOMMY WORLD !!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today is Day 3 of my guest designer spot over at <b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.scrappymoms-stamps.blogspot.com/">SCRAPPY MOMS STAMPS.</a></span></u></b>. I am having a blast showcasing the new stamp set and hope that I have inspired you to get creative today..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So for today here is what I came up with...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-busB7WndDtw/Tcnhz9HVwTI/AAAAAAAAAds/pXq5N_1lsDo/s1600/scrappy+mom+day+4+HEA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-busB7WndDtw/Tcnhz9HVwTI/AAAAAAAAAds/pXq5N_1lsDo/s400/scrappy+mom+day+4+HEA.jpg" width="296" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love this sentiment from the set..... I think it can be used in so many different ways with numerous themes. I used the butterfly from Once Upon A Princess and one of my favorite color combinations Teal & Brown..</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the way it is simple but yet somewhat elegant at the same time.. And the sentiment ties all the element together to make a great card...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sorry for the delay in posting my project for SCRAPPY MOM Stamps. Blogger decided to be a "BOOGER" and would not let me post a darn thing for two days... but in the true spirit of "I WILL NOT BE BEAT !!! lol.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I found a new way to post. :0) Took some time to figure out but never the less... I AM BACK POSTING !!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I would like send a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone one who stopped by and left such sweet comments on FRIDAYS post. I am having a blast be the guest designer this month for SCRAPPY MOMS and hope that I will inspire you to do something creative today.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As I told you on Friday.. The HAPPILY EVER AFTER stamp set is the lastest release from Scrappy Moms Stamps and is prefect for the "little princess" in your life... I have 3 not so little princesses in my life so finding sentiments can be challenging...but these stamps make the challenge so much easier.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to totally go "OUTSIDE THE BOX" and make a card that could be used for either a boy or a girl...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So here is what I came up with for you today...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">CARD FRONT</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4AQSh-eKrtI/TckjQHM-8rI/AAAAAAAAAdk/b-WX6-K9KbI/s1600/Scrappy+moms+day+2+HEA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4AQSh-eKrtI/TckjQHM-8rI/AAAAAAAAAdk/b-WX6-K9KbI/s400/Scrappy+moms+day+2+HEA.jpg" width="296" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">CARD INSIDE</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--_Bjt8tBWuc/TckjTcVc2hI/AAAAAAAAAdo/XiaQW3_VoG8/s1600/scrappy+moms+day+2+HEA+inside.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--_Bjt8tBWuc/TckjTcVc2hI/AAAAAAAAAdo/XiaQW3_VoG8/s400/scrappy+moms+day+2+HEA+inside.jpg" width="325" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it is so stinkin cute..if I do say so myself.. I think this card would be great for a boy or a girl with just a few embellishment and color changes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The sentiment is PERFECTO....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thats one of the things that I love most about Scrappy Moms Stamps they are created with such love and the sentiment work wonderfully with those everyday moments in each of our "MOMMY LIVES"... :0) If you havent had a chance to check out all the amazing stamps that Melanie and Tammy have created I urge you to go take a peek over at <u><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.scrappymoms-stamps.blogspot.com/">SCRAPPY MOMS Stamps.</a></span></b></u>. Like I said before the hardest part is which ones you will choose..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well that is it for today as I mentioned the other day I am giving a prize away for every Scrappy Mom post in the month of May so for today's prize I will be giving away ...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>I am so glad the weather is starting to warm up and the cold days of winter are almost behind us. Spring is my favorite time of year and I so look forward to seeing butterflies and dragonflies flying in the air. There is just something really enchanting about watching a butterfly fly through the air. Makes me know that God's amazing grace is always around. So when I saw Lili holding the sweet little butterfly ... It reminded me that I am so thankful for the many blessings in my life and how special our time here is...</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>As I always say its the journey through life that is most important... For a butterfly their life is not that long..but there journey to being a butterfly is what makes them simply amazing. :0)</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />

</div><div align="center">So Thanks a bunch Leslie !!!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-wqkPqN0tN5w/TW-Ygh4WJVI/AAAAAAAAAbc/Ejm_YtJ-57U/s1600/Attitude_Blog_Award%255B1%255D%255B1%255D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" l6="true" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-wqkPqN0tN5w/TW-Ygh4WJVI/AAAAAAAAAbc/Ejm_YtJ-57U/s320/Attitude_Blog_Award%255B1%255D%255B1%255D.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Part of the requirement for receiving this award is to tell (3) things about myself that nobody knows...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(1) I LOVE 80's music... My kids think Im weird because I know all the words to just about any 80s song written... LOL</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(2) I love a good "CHICK FLICK"... ie... The Notebook, Ghost, P.S. I love you, and most definitely PRETTY WOMAN .... Nothing like watching a good chick flick and getting so upset that you have the "UGLY CRY " at the end... :0)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(3) I love to dance and sing and will just start singing and dancing if the mood strikes me...Can at times be very embarrassing for my kids...but they have to love me ....so they have learned to live with it.!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So thats (3) things Im sure you didnt know about me but now you do... Another requirement to this award is to play it forward.... Give this award to 5 people who make a difference for me personally... Its was really hard to just pick 5 but each one of them came to me instantly..so I guess it was meant to be...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When you get a chance stop by and check out their blogs ...the journey is so worth it.. Each one of them make me smile each and everyday.. And I am so glad to have them in my life...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center">It's time for another challenge over at <span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><strong>Cricut Cardz Challenge</strong></span>. This week the design team was asked to make a Valentine's Day card using any cartridge we liked... BUT..... using the colors <u><span style="font-size: large;">BLUE, GREEN and WHITE ONLY !!! ...</span></u> Wow now that is a challenge...RIGHT ???</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I had so much fun with this challenge because we of course think of the obvious RED PINK AND WHITE in a typical Valentine's Day Project... So I really had to go out on a limb to get this card created....But I think it turned out so cute...If I do say so myself... lol</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">So here is my project this week:</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I think I am going to give this to my husband for Valentine's Day...he will so expect it from ME !! He knows how this brain works ...and still stays around ;0) (haha)</div><div align="center"><br />
