This is the birthday card I made for my oldest, Colleen. She will be 14 years old tommorrow, May 3. I can't believe it! It seems like yesterday, Colleen was a cubby cheeked little girl. She has grown into such a great kid! I am one lucky mom!!

I have been fooling around with different styles this week. Some with good success and others - well, we won't go there!! I am starting another round with my Light Weigh bible study weight loss group and need a journal. So this is what I came up with.
This is one of those journals from Target. My friend Elizabeth K. made me a creative journal last year using this type of notebook. I love it because of that cool elastic band. It keeps all your little slips of paper inside the notebook. I thought this would be great for my weight loss journal. I don't normally go for shabby chic but it works for this. Kinda simple with just my name!
Supplies Used: Big Deal Alphabet, Love without End, Paisley Background & Personalized Name Stamp sets; Buckaroo Blue, Bordering Blue, Always Artichoke, Bashful Blue Cardstock; Buckaroo Blue, Always Artichoke, Bashful Blue, Basic Brown Classic Ink pads; Marvy Giga Circle scallop punch, stamping sponge, SU button, Blue grosgrain ribbon and UHU glue.
This BLOG was my inspiration for this journal. Lisa Johnson is the queen of shabby chic and a truly gifted stamper! Enjoy her blog, if you haven't checked it out! I have an open house at the High School my Colleen will attend next year on Thursday. Because of the Open House, I will miss being with my Stamping Sisters at the Elephant Bar! Hopefully, everything will get done with quickly and I can go join them. I need some Stamping Sister time! Talk to you later.
