Free For All Friday: {printable} MODERN simple Cards

Download the FREE PDF file here:

Often times I find myself in need of a quick and simple card...and well, not always with the time to create a paper crafted one. So I pulled together this simple design and thought it would be a great share this week. I think the yellow is my favorite...just makes me happy :) Here you can see them all printed and ready to cut, create and mail!

NOTE: You'll have to set your printer settings to "BORDERLESS" in order to print these as is on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. These look FANTASTIC printed on bright white presentation paper like this Epson brand.

PLEASE carefully read the Terms of Use when using my printable designs :)

Hope you enjoy! Happy Friday!

...mia? (for my seven readers :)

Well, it seems I haven't engaged in a real post in awhile so I thought I'd say hellooooo!!! These days I find myself busy but really content:

cooking three meals a day for these little hungry critters which leads to lots of dish doing and mess cleaning however...I've been grilling everything possible...hee hee...just discovered that grilling breakfast is WAY less messy and greasy than frying (bacon, sausage) and even is perfect for those frozen hashbrowns! (no added cals...as if they don't have enough already!) Cooking on the grill in the morning reminds me of camping too...the smell of breakfast in the air...mmmmm!

Sitting by the pool playing life guard as our super-fish-boy loves to swim and is all over to pool these days!

Been doing SOME sewing...finally found the time and mojo to finish some projects...I have ONE of these available (putting in shop soon)

I'm knee deep in peaches...going to make some peach butter tomorrow. My sister and I went and picked a bunch on Monday-- very fun! We've enjoyed lots of bounty from my Dad's garden and our {bless their heart} neighbor's too! My friendly Harps cashier was razzing me just today and asking if I'd been shopping somewhere else because I hadn't been in to see her...just enjoying all the garden goodness!

(Sara was amazed and astounded at the size of the tomatoes -nearly six inches in diameter!!! Thank YOU neighbors!!!)

Making the most of the times my sister and her hubby come to visit...last weekend was her birthday and it was so much fun! Love that girl...

Creating a few scrapbook pages for various assignments and totally racking my brain to create and finish up my class for IU!!! Its hard to go in there with scrapbooking super stars and impress! So I'm pulling out all the stops!
Been tending my flowers and enjoying the gorgeous blooms this wonderful rain has brought!

Working on a secret project X...that should be revealed sometime later this summer :) Yes, it is scrapbook related. Here's the formula...me + accounting genuis + web programmer = secret project X {squealllllll!!!!!}

Loving my new phone...totally addicted to Words with Friends (thanks to my sister and TIm) and do you know that all my photos in the post were taken (and edited) by it? My favorite photo apps...

LOVE IT!!!

So that's pretty much what's been up in my world. I have NOT been as productive as I would like to be but I'm finding it very difficult this summer with the kiddos all around...and as I've mentioned several times...I'm smelling the roses for a change :) We've really enjoyed everyday this summer...even though its passing WAY too fast!

Still have hopes of heading back to "class" -- this fall? But still not sure how the cards will fall until later this month. I did get a scholarship from the U of A for $1000 dollars for the year! WOW!!! I was thrilled to death over that! ...just letting the good Lord lead the way.

Free For ALL FRIDAY: Family Gathering/Reunion PRINTABLE

Download the FREE PDF file here:

Printable FAMILY GATHERING GUIDE color

(just adjust your printer settings to grayscale if you prefer a black and white copy ;)

A couple of years ago my Mom's side had a get together...we called it a "Cousins Reunion" but it was really just everybody! It was an awesome time to catch up, see who's grown and just an all around great time! We're doing it again this year...so I thought a little planning printable might help. And maybe it will inspire you to call up your cousins too!

Feelin' the FOURTH!!!

Did you notice I added a search widget to the blog? (upper left sidebar ;) I was trying it out and thought it might be fun to revisit some past projects:

Stamped shirts for the Fourth:

(click the pic for more info)

A cute star studded scrapbook page for the Fourth!! (notice the shirt pic :)

BHG Scrapbooks etc. cover I did from a couple of years ago...

Another oldie...from a class about 5 years ago...

Patriotic Class

(still a good springboard for some FOURTH layouts--horrible pic sorry)

Okay so this is SO NOT fourth of July, but very much STAR related...and a fun technique to try (from a cover try I did for Scrapbooks etc. last year)

Week 26: stress free, sort of :)

Back to paper and glue...sorry I'm behind, I'm going to make this short and sweet. --its been super busy with the kiddos being home. I'm really enjoying them each day, we're being productive and having fun too! Speaking of...this layout is pure fun! A week ago I got a fabulous assortment of {MY FAVORITE} Bella Blvd. product. I SO LOVE IT ALL!!! Scrumptious!!! I just couldn't wait to dig in and play!

Most of this Bella love is from the Super Stud collection. It rocks for boys :) I refer to my little guy as "DUDE-le" -- (pronounced "doodle") --he's so dang cute I can't stand it! I caught this pic on my phone and used a fun iPhone app (Camera Bag) to intensify it to sort of capture the emotion. Had to scrapbook it with the "Dude-le" title! So funny!
