Liquid Refreshements HMF122
Lemonaide is pretty much a summer refrehsment in our house. The sentiment got juice is from Flourishes Life, loves and lemons set. The house Mouse is called Citrus Puckers. Very simple with a little bit of piercing around the border, two tabs and the sentiment. Easy Peasy. Hope you have a great day!

Happy mail for Ranger
Ranger is doing great today. We will need to lower the medication on Monday just half a pill as he is still not as playful as normal and his walking is a bit wobbly still. Over all he is doing wonderful. Thank you again for all the prayers and well wishes. Enjoy your weekend.

Free for all Friday at Flourishes
On with my post for today. Flourishes just released the June sets last week and boy was that fun. If you haven't purchased your sets hurry as the New Release Bundle ends soon! This is your chance at an extra 10% savings. My creation today is classic I think. I made a few of these for my SIL. She can use them as thank you cards or her name starts with T. Letters in Bloom is such a fun set as you have so many options. The name cards that I made for my friends daughters really turned out great and I have a few ideas for Christmas gifts now. :0) Back to this card, I used Spellbinders Floral Ovals for the frame and cut out the center with the Classic Ovals and then popped it up on dimensionals. The T was colored with copic collection Sky and Lenton Rose as the teal was the colors of her wedding. Added two pearls to the frame and voila!
Check out the creations by the Design Team and have a wonderful weekend!

Update on Ranger
The test for the parasite came back and come to find out he does not have any parasites, which is GREAT. The levels were high more than likely do to pollen or something to do with allergies, but we are parasite free and the vet was very pleased with that. Me not so much as now we are dealing with leaving Ranger on this medication.
The vet said his organs and everything looks great from the blood work. He was very pleased with the information. By this Friday he should be back to his playful self and acting normal with the level of medication he is on. If he is not then we will slowly back it down to a level that is normal behavior. Being that Ranger is only 2 years old he said that he wants to keep him on the med's for 6 months and then slowly take him off of it and not risk taking him off now until his body adjusts. He says the risk is too great if we try it now so he recommends the 6 month mark. DH and I agreed yet I am still a little leery of him on med's. I am not a huge fan of medications so this is a learning thing for me.
Ranger as you can see from the photo I took last night, wants to play and take his walks as usual which is great. Yet he still walks like a sailor home off leave for a few days. ha! Short walks it is as in 2 blocks and coming from our normal 2 mile walks this is huge. He is pretty tired after the walks so I know we are going far enough right now. Hopefully by Friday he is back to his normal furry self and I will feel a bit better. Thank you so much for all the prayers. A few of you have emailed me with helpful info and I do appreciate all of it. Let's hope that this is a case of one and done for both Ranger's sake and my own. :0)

Introducing Happily Ever After and Invites
This beautiful sentiment set Happily Ever After I thought would go perfect with Wedded Bliss for a great wedding card. I framed the happy couple up using Spellbinders Floral Ovals, added some lace and pearls hard to see the lace under the panel. The flower was the finishing touch to my ribbon bow. I thinks this turned out very romantic myself.

Flourishes Arts and Letters Challenge
I have found that with sibblings you can't do something for one of them and not the other. Since I made Ava a birthday card I then have now made one for her sister Sydnee. This Letters in Blossom set is fabulous for personalizing all gifts. I can see a few framed items coming down the road with this set alone. Went with all shades of blue as those are Sydnee's favorite colors. I tell you a girl after my own heart. :0) Some of the beautiful Want 2 Scrap flourished pearls for the ends and voila. Now both of the girls have their own cards! Yeah!

Introducing Summer Blossoms
Today's set is the first part of this collection and features beautiful blooms perfect for summer!
Part of The Blossoms Collection, this beautiful array of summer blossoms illustrated by Marcella Hawley features a bouquet, corner stamps, and pieces to create your own borders or frames. Add in a trio of all occasion sentiments and you have the perfect set to create cards for every day correspondence. Set measures 4 by 6" and is the perfect companion to sister sets Happily Ever After SS199 and Letters in Blossom SS198. If you like what you see, this set is available for pre-order now, just click HERE!
My creation using Summer Blossoms is warm and cozy today. The fancy trim along the bottom is using Spellbinders Decorative Inserts Three. This is one of my new favorite things to put on the bottom of my cards lately. What is really funny as it sat on my desk for several months as I wasn't sure how to use it properly. GASP! I know funny, however I do know how to use it very well now as its on most of my creations. hee hee Added a little bit of the lace and ribbon which I tied off with a ribbon bow. The designer paper in the back isn't showing as much as I wanted, this is from the paper pack Happy Travels from Glitz. Very romantic feeling paper pack I would have to say. I then finished off the sides with some flourished jewels. Be sure to check out the creations from the Design Team today:

Thanks for stopping in with me today!

Berry sweet at Flourishes
My creation is pretty straight forward. Once my strawberries were colored I cut them out and added dimensionals to the back. The copic collections used for the coloring are Poppy and Green Grass. Did you see the new Copic Collections swatch book? Very cool and helpful when it comes to picking colors. I used the awesome Romantic Rectangels from Spellbinders for the frame. Don't say it as I already know you are tired of it already, well sadly I am not. ha! The bottom panel has the Basketweave stamped to it and then I used some of the red wrinkled ribbon for my bow. Yummy card I think.Be sure to check out the yummy creations from the Design team today:
