It's Time to be Kind!



The inspiration for my tag today came from the Viva Las VegaStamps! Be Adorable stamp. I had purchased this stamp along with a plate and never had really read it. It didn't dawn on me for several weeks that it had wisdom in the form of simple commands from a to z : Be adorable, be brilliant, be crazy, be daring be excellent, be FUN....be kind... . Upon realizing the true extent of this stamp I felt that it embodied things I believe and have tried to instill in my children. It embodied feelings I have recently expressed about current events in the world. I needed to incorporate this stamp and remind people that NOW is the time-- the time to be caring, to be thankful to be wise to be kind and among others, to be NICE. I hope you enjoy my project! Hop on over to the Viva Las VegaStamps blog to learn how I created this tag!

St. Patrick's Day bundle

Good Morning! It's time for another Melonheadz Friends Challenge over on the Melonheadz Friends blog. See below for all the details of the challenge. Today's challenge is a GO GREEN challenge--upcycled, color green or St. Patricks theme.  I love Nikki's word art and the Irish Blessing on her St. Patrick's Day Bundle is fabulous! I printed it in black and colored with my markers and outlined some words to further highlight them. I love how my Irish Blessing wall art looks with its fancy shamrocks--also in the bundle! Thank you for stopping by! Please join our challenge!
