Flower Handbag!

Hello, I haven't played in Melanie's challenges for too long, and decided it was time! Melanie challenged us to make something using her set 'A Year Of Flowers'.

I decided to combine that challenge with the Technique lovers challenge TLC58, the bucket handbag. You can find all the info and a template by following the link.

The bucket itself is plain old white with the edges sponged in soft sky. I stamped the flower stems and leaves onto white, and coloured them all with copics. It's hard to see in the photo, but the center flower is layeresd with part popped up.

The edging was made with the Spellbinders borderabilities classic lace die. It's close to cocoa with the edges sponged in matching ink, this border is popped up.

The tag sentiment and unique ladybug can also be found in the 'A Year of Flowers' set. This was my second attempt at a tag! The first one had a red ladybug, and I just didn't think it fit! lol Well that's the beauty of crafting, you can chose your own colours!

I finished it off with pretty in pink taffeta ribbon, and the tag also has linen twine.

Have a Great day!

Season's Greetings!

Hello, I made this for the release challenge on the GinaK forum, GKDAUGTM hosted by TheresaCC, it's a sketch challenge.

It also counts as 1 down on my Christmas card list! lol The card base is always artichoke, with a layer of shimmery white & then SU dp.

I stamped the poinsetta from 'A year of flowers' onto the shimmery white with burnt umber & then used my water brush to pick up ink from the lid of my ink pads to shade in the veins! I cut out 2 flowers & layered them. The center is little tiny clear beads, and then a bit of stickles on top!

The shimmery paper is so pretty, but it's really hard to get a picture of it!

Have a Great Evening!

You Are My Sunshine!

Hello, this is an 8x8 scrapbook page I made using a photo of my Daughter when she was 5. I love the bright toothless smile! I used Erika's scrapbook challenge at stamptv, STVSCR8.

I'm not completely happy with this one, the area around the dp looks too busy to me, but I fiddled with it too long so settled for this.

I used textured cardstock for the bg. with pixie pink & DCWV dp blossoms & butterflies. The photo is matted on pixie pink. I used the CB Hippy Chick die to make the letter 'O" with DCWV summer glitter stack. The butterflies are also punched from this paper with the Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

Have a Great Day!

C.I. Will Miss You!

Well on Saturday my Daughter Rachel (15) hosted a going away party for a school friend. Her Dad has been transfered to the US, they move today.

I made a card for all the friends to sign. Their school is known as C.I. and their school colours are red, yellow & black.

I used riding hood red for the card base, then a layer of yoyo yellow, and the top layer is a piece of coredinations embossed with the bloom dots EF. The edges are distressed & the top was sanded a bit.

The sweatshirt is from a GinaK set called 'Just so sporty', designed by Melanie Muenchinger. I made the letters with the cuttlebug Olivia die set, with some alterations to the letter 'I'. Then I outlined the letters with a black marker. The sweatshirt is popped up.

I also used the SU set 'Make it count' for the sentiment. I used the 1/2" circle punch for the round bits & popped them up too.

Everyone had a great time! Here's a picture of the whole group! Yes you're seeing that right, one lucky guy amoung the whole group of girls!

I have to share this one too, when I was taking the photo, our dog Franky went and lined up with the girls! He's either a cheerleader wanna be, or he justs wants to fit in! LOL

Have a Great Day!

Cool & Fabulous Meghan!

Hello, I made this for Erika's scrapbbok challenge STVSCR6 over on stamptv.

This is a picture of my Niece Meghan, the photo is a bit washed out due to the light, I had trouble getting a good pic with no reflection!

Anyway, when Meghans sister Lauren turned 7, my Sister planned a dress-up party. The kids dressed up, we took photos, printed them & then they painted & decorated frames to put their photos in. This is Meghan just being a cool older sister! (Note: you couldn't see the lines on the background sheet in the pics of the younger kids! lol)

The flowers on the bottom are from 'Flowers for Daisy' and the smiley face & sunglasses are from 'Little Tee's'. The edges of the flowers are sponged.

The glasses were stamped on black with versamark, and then embossed with black EP to give them a shiny look. I also popped the glasses up with tiny pop dots.The sentiment stamp is from SU Fabulous Flowers, it fit so perfectly!

Have a great weekend

Laurie

Lavendar Dreams

Hello, I made this for the potluck challenge on stamptv hosted by Melanie Muenchinger. We were to use something other than a stamp to stamp on our creation! I used the fine net sleeve that garlic comes in to dab on colour in the background.

The card base is lavendar lace, with a layer of very vanilla. The corners have been punched with an EK corner notch punch. I masked off the edges at the top & dabbed on lavendar lace ink with the garlic net. The bottom is a torn piece of lavendar lace also dabbed with colour & the edges are sponged.

The image was stamped onto very vanilla with chocolate chip ink & I coloured in the buds with the lavendar lace marker. I then dotted the buds with a quickie glue pen & dipped them in dazzling diamonds glitter. The edges of this panel were distressed.

The sentiment was stamped in close to cocoa, because I thought the choc. chip might be to dark, and then I punched it out with the lg SU oval. The sentiment is popped up.

I finished it off with purple gems & a bow of vanilla taffetta ribbon.

Happy Friday

Laurie

Rachel's an Artist!

Hello, this is a scrapbook page I made for Erika's (SunshineMama) challenge STVSCR5 on stamptv.

This is a picture of my Daughter Rachel. Her schools art dept was involved in a beautification project last year. They painted garbage cans with historical people and events of the city. This is her's of the workers who helped build our local hospital. It is currently sitting in front of the hospital. I'm so proud of her!

I used so saffron and stamped it with matching ink & the canvas bg stamp.The zebra is from 'Jumping for Joy'. I stamped him with versamark & embossed with black. I also stamped his head again, embossed, cut out & popped it up. I made small cuts along his leg to thread the ribbon through. A bow just didn't seem right for this, so I made a few knots along the ribbon.

All the stars and photo corners were made with punches. The smallest star was made with a fiskars punch which fits nicely into the center of the small SU star punch.I used 3 sentiments from the 'Jumping for Joy' set, great job, you rock, super star, and that she is!

For the very first time, I risked using my own handing on the page, it didn't turn out too bad! If you're leary about handwriting on your scrapbook pages, try this. First practice by writing on a piece of vellum. Then position the vellum over the spot you would write it to see if it fits & how it looks. Do this til you're comfortable & then take the plunge! that's what I did.

Let me know what you think

Let me know what you think

Olivia & Nanny

Well I'm on a roll with the scrapbooking...I actually did another page! I used Erika's (SunshineMama) sketch challenge on stampTV STVSCR4. Following Erika's sketches has really helped me to actually put a page together.

This is one of my favorite photos of my Mom and my Daughter Olivia.

I used riding hood red for the base & then SU designer paper. The scalloped edge was made with the new EK dotted scallop punch. I punched a hole in the matted photo to thread the ribbon through.

The flowers are from "Flowers for Daisy" from GinaK. I coloured them with copics RV42 & E51. Then I added diamond stickles to the center.

Not having confidence in writing freehand, I decided to use the justrite new roman font stamp, but wish I had handwritten it, because I goofed up & got ink where it shouldn't be down near the date. picture #1

I've decided to cover this goof up with more flowers, hoping it doesn't through off the balance. The new flowers in the picture haven't had the stickles added to them yet! picture #2

Thanks for stopping by, let me know what you think.

A couple new things!

This is a baby card I made using Melanie Muenchinger's set "Hand in Hand'. It was a quick card, with non traditional colours, but I think it turned out ok! I used this sketch challenge hosted by Donna (dbaker3).

I started with the dp DCWV text prints, and went from there. I wanted to keep it clean & simple, so I only used very vanilla & old olive. The background panel is embossed with the swiss dot EF.

Stamps: Hand in Hand (GinaK), Paper: very vanilla, old olive, DCWV text prints, Ink: noir black, Accessories: brads, swiss dot EF, SU polytwill ribbon.

This an 8x8 scrapbook page I made for challenge #2 on the GinaK forum. The challenge is hosted by Erika (SunshineMama) and we were to include 3 things 1. a sketch she provided 2. journal something important to you (well me) 3. use stamps. I chose to make a page about my Hubby because he is definitely important to me.

I'm pretty much brand new to scrapbooking so I didn't want to risk wrecking this with my handwriting, so all the words are computer generated. I used cuddles & hugs and Hand in hand stamps for this page.

Stamps: cuddle & hugs, Hand in Hand (GinaK), Paper: night of navy, real red, white, Ink: noir black, Accessories: Martha Stewart heart edge punch, SU marker.

Spring Flowers Have Many Uses!

Hello, I made this for the March release challenge #1, GKMARTS on the GinaK forum. The theme is springtime, colour or flowers! I also used this weeks sketch challenge, SC219.

The card base is lavendar lace, with a panel of white embossed with the leafy branch EF. The triangle is also white, embossed with the swiss dot EF.

The flower was stamped 2 times on white, and coloured in with prismacolour pencils & oms. I cut out one & popped on top of the other with a dimensional. The center of the flower has amber coloured self stick gems.I like the way the ribbon placement kind of balances out the whole card!

I didn't add a sentiment, because this really could be used for many occasions.

Have a great Day

Laurie

This Weeks Challenges

OK so here's the rest of the cards I made this week! I had to combine the colour & sketch challenge to make up time.

The first the the technique lovers challenge TLC209, rubber band stamping. Very cool technique. Wrap rubber bands around an acrylic or wood block, stamp in versamark, then cover with embossing powder & heat! makes interesting background paper. I used 2 different embossing powders, then sponged colour on the paper to get this rustic, cowboy, goldmining effect! lol The stamp is cowboy Riley from Hanna Stamps. The sentiment was computer generated, I thought it was a great font for a cowboy!

The second card combines the colour challenge CC207, pumpkin pie, summer sun & kiwi kiss, with the sketch challenge SC217.

I used my new Polka Dot Punches set. Stamp the flower with versamark onto watercolour paper, and embossed with white EP. Then I coloured them in with markers & a waterbrush, and punched them out. The fern leaves are a Martha Stewart punch, and the flourishes are the EK success punch.

My last card was made for my SIL who loves frogs. I'm also including it in the ways to use it challenge WT207, frugel finds. I didn't really use anything interesting. My frugality is not buying (ok I did buy something) not using anything new! and the thread is really old, dug out of my sewing supplies. The frog & sentiment are from Melanie Muenchinger's 'Just so Hoppy' set, sold at GinaK.

Well I'm hoping I'm wrong, but my kids have been really sick, and my Sister & Brother both had that terrible flu, and I'm not feeling so hot today! I'm hoping it passes...please please please!

Olivia's Baking Birthday Party!

Back row Olivia, Emily, Cassidy, Jennifer, in the front Lauren (my neice), Daisy & Erika

Ok so we had Olivia's party with her friends on Sunday. Last year they decorated giant cookies, made personel pizzas, and made crowns for their stuffed friends (mostly webkinz). We took lots of pictures of everyone individually & together. Then my Husband ran to the 1 hour photo booth, & brought back all the pics. I had premade a brown bag scrapbook for everyone, then we broke out the punches, designer paper, embellishments etc. & they made their own! It was great, but I had no clue what to do this year until....

A while back, Melanie Muenchinger decorated an apron for her son using her set "have a Cookie", have a look and this was pretty much my inspiration for the party!

I bought the aprons on Ebay, they were great quality, but Olivia's didn't fit over her head, so I ended up cutting all the neck straps in half, and added velcro. I also ended up buying a pkg of 3 in adult size from Michael's, which honestly, were not as nice!

I made this for my Nephew Jack so the girls could see one done.

I knew I wanted them to decorate the aprons, but how was I going to bake with 7 kids in my tiny kitchen? The wheels started turning, smoke was present and then bam! I solved the problem!

1st, we decorated the aprons, with stazon ink & the pentel fabric dye sticks Melanie used, I bought them on Ebay too!

2nd, they decorated giant cookies. This is easy, 1 pillsbury cookie dough pkg makes 3 cookies. use tin pie plates, cut parchment to fit in bottom, make each cookie using 1/3 of the dough. Put out topping in bowls with spoons (cho chips, white chips, m&m's, marchmellows, sprinkles etc....constantly remind them less is better! Have an adult bake them at 350F for 20-30 minutes.

3rd, Cookies in a Jar! so they get to measure everything, & make a cool layered piece of art, then they get to take them home & bake them! Each girl had a set of measuring cups in their loot bag. I bought the canning jars at 2nd stores, score! We passed the ingredients around one at a time & they measured them into their jars. For the top, I bought napkins & trimmed them so they were round. I copied & printed the instructions of the computer, & premade the name & recipe tags. It was easy for the girls to put them together.

4th, Chocolate sprinkled banana pops. We melted chocolate, gave each girl 1/2 a banana which they put on a wood stick. Dip the bananas in chocolate, cover with sprinkles, put in the freezer.

Then they watched Olivia open presents while I got dinner ready, nachos & rootbeer floats! I found the old fashion coke glasses at Dollarama they were perfect for the floats!

The colour scheme was bright and I got a great deal (25 cents) on sturdy black gift bags to use for loot bags. Each included brightly coloured oven mitt, pot holder, measuring cups, tea towel, recipe in a jar, apron, coke glass, and whatever was left of their cookies & banana pop!

I must be crazy, because I've really enjoyed these parties & the kids have such a good time. It wasn't any more expensive than paying per person to go somewhere, in fact I think it may have been cheaper, and who needs more little party bag junk!

Hope you enjoyed the party! lol

Baby Sweet Baby!

Just wanted to share the 2 cards I made using 'Hand in Hand' designed by Melanie Muenchinger. I love this set, there's so many possiblilities with the images & sentiments.

I made these for 2 of the challenges on the GinaK forum at SCS. The first was to make something sweet. Well baby girls are sweet, so I made this for my Daughter's Teacher who just had her first baby, a girl. I just love that saying too, 'love at first touch' how true is that?

This one was a sketch challenge. As it turns out I needed another baby card, so I used the same image. I decided to really personalize it, and used the Justrite roman font to make her name. Then I embossed with clear EP.

This was my first time using the hands & copics. I wish there was somewhere nearby where I could learn how to use these properly, I feel kinda intimidated by them!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day.

Laurie

A couple new things!

It's Olivia's 9th birthday on the 24th. We are having a baking themed party, so I made apron invites. I thought it would go well, since the first thing they will be doing is decorating aprons. We aren't having the party til Feb.1, so I'll try & get some pic's to post!

I made this card a week or so ago for my step daughter's boyfriend. He's in University, not easy thinking of an appropriate card for a guy at his age! But I know he likes Smallville, & what guy doesn't like a super hero! So of course super moose Riley came to mind! Then I used the sketch challenge SC211 and added stars & dada a perfect guy card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Framed Bella Rose

Hello, I want to share with you a project I made today, for a challenge Melanie Muenchinger is having on her blog, Hand, Head & Heart.
We were to make something featuring a sentiment. I chose one of the verses from her set ‘Say It With Flowers’ I love this verse, to me it says look at the bright side, I try to live my life by that! Even named my blog with that thought! Lol
The frame is a shadow box type frame I bought at our local Dollarama. The paper is SU bella rose. The layers were cut with the new label #1 dies, and I sponged the edges. The rose is cut from the paper, but the leaves are from Melanie’s “A year with flowers’. I stamped the leaf 3 times, colored with prismacolor pencils & oms, then cut out.
I used dimensionals to pop up the rose & the main panels. Then I finished it with a ribbon & some tiny gems.
The picture makes it look a little dark, sorry about that!

Have a Great Evening

GinaK November Release Challenges

All of my items posted today were made for the challenges leading up to & after the November release on the GinaK forum.

The first picture is a chocolate lovers birthday card! We were to use 3 or more stamp sets from GinaK. Luckily I have lots!!!! This card uses Just so Sporty, Little Tee’s & Retro Boutique.

I love making fun cards, and this one certainly was! I used my scor-pal for the first time and covered the brads with iridescent ice EP, they look like they’re covered in sugar.

The second card was made for a sketch challenge posted by Jessica (Jessjean). I really liked this sketch, and I’m sure I’ll use it again. I may even make more poinsettia cards in different colours! The poinsettia is from Melanie’s set ‘A year of flowers’.

I just wish the beads in the center had been a solid white, I think that would have looked better. I was going to use liquid pearl, but I can’t seem to get it to look round on top…it always looks pointed! If anyone has any tips on getting a more rounded look, please let me know.

The first challenge on the Ginak forum for the release party was hosted by Erika (SunshineMama). When I first saw it, I was totally discouraged. I’ve never done a scrapbook page on my own before…and with a deadline!!! But since Erika mentioned we could make it the size we wanted, I decided to try an 8x8 page.

Of course I couldn’t find the picture I wanted to use, it may still be on the computer somewhere! So I flipped through some loose photos we had out, and decided on this one. I used to sew, like many other papercrafters. The photo was taken on Canada Day in 2000, I made them all something to wear that day, tops for the girls, & shorts for Andre. I’m really like how this turned out.

Melanie Muenchinger posted a challenge on the GinaK forum before the release night, for a chance to win one of her 2 new sets. The 1st challenge was to use Just so sporty, or Little Tee’s. I used the Little Tee’s set and made this t-shirt of hope with a pink sparkly ribbon.

The second challenge was to make something using any of her other stamps. I hadn’t used the poinsettia from “A year of Flowers’ at this point, so this is the first card I made with it, and I won a free set!!! Gotta love that!

I also used the colour challenge on SCS that week, CC192 pacific point, certainly celery, and basic grey.

Well that’s it for today…I hope you have a great evening! I’m going to check & see if the winners have been posted.

Wow! What a Week!

Wow it’s a busy week, and I have lots to tell you! First, a huge Thank You to Heather owner of H&M Stamp Co. she had a huge give away recently called ‘The Parade Of Stamps’ and I was the lucky winner. Also Thank You to all the companies that donated the prizes, I will be a happy shopper this month!

Two of my favorite stamp companies are releases there new stamps this week, Hanna Stamps, and Gina K Designs. This is my favorite time of month, because I love playing along with the challenges and seeing what wonderful creations the design teams come up with!

My first card today was made for the Flourishes (another favorite) Tuesday chat challenge hosted by Faith (aka Markie’s Mom). We were to use an animal in our card. I used the deer from Flourished Christmas, and this weeks sketch challenge SC195.

The card base is Not quite navy, stamped with the weathered bg stamp in the same colour.

The 3 panels are really rust and old olive embossed with the leafy branch EF, and baja breeze. All the panels are sponged with the matching colour and layered on chocolate chip.

The sentiment is also from Flourished Christmas, stamped onto more mustard & punched out with the 1” circle punch & layered on a 1 ¼” circle in chocolate chip. The sentiment is popped up.
All the leaves were made with 2 different Martha Stewart leaf punches.

I used the SU polytwill ribbon, and a stick pin with some co-ordinating beads to finish it off!

The second card was made for Andrew a friend of the family who just turned 12. Andrew loves sports and plays on several teams, but I know he plays soccer almost year round, so I decided to go with the soccer theme.

The card base is black, with a layer of white, and then glorious green for the grass. I searched online for a diagram of a soccer field & that’s what I used to decide where to cut the green pieces. I also ran it through the cuttlebug with the tiny bubbles EF for some texture.

The soccer shirt is from Melanie’s Just So Sporty set, which can be found at GinaK. I added the number 12, (his #) and the stripes, which I coloured with markers.

The words are also from the ‘Just So Sporty’ set, stamped on white & punched out with the SU large star punch. I glued them to the blue & cut around them to make a mat.

The soccer ball is from a See D’s rubber stamps #50016, it has lots of different sports balls & sayings.

The inside is also decorated because it’s a spiral pop up card. If you haven’t tried one yet, you can find the tutorial here.

I put a layer of white inside, and cut out the the circle springs. Then I added stars & soccer balls.

Lastly, I have a card I made for my Niece Carly. She turned 2 this month, and because she loves sweets & is so sweet, I used the Sock Monkey & his cupcake!

The card base is metallic cardstock from Michael's & if I remember right, it's called seafoam. Then a layer of pretty in pink, and a layer of the DP.

The canvas bg stamp was inked up with pretty in pink, and stamped on both white & pretty in pink cs. Then I stamped the sock monkey in brown onto both pieces. I cut them out & layered on circles made with the nestabilities. I made the monkey a girl by adding eyelashes! The whole thing is popped up on dimensionals.

The cupcake was stamped on the metallic paper for the bottom, and then pink for the top which was cut out & glued together. I coloured the candle flames with yellow marker, and added crystal stickles to the top & flame.

I used circle punches to make the tag with the #2 stamped in pretty in pink.The ribbon is dbl. sided satin from Michaels.

I Hope You have a Great Day! It's rainy here, a perfect time to check out the new sneak peaks at SCS and maybe get some stampin done!

GIANT BLOG CANDY FOR A GOOD CAUSE

This card was made for World Alzheimer’s Day, and the Heart to Heart blog candy challenge Carolyn (Cammie) is hosting on her blog.

Carolyn’s Grandmother was a victim of Alzheimer’s, and recently passed away. Carolyn designed a stamp set called Whimsical Autumn, which is sold at GinaK, with all the proceeds going to The Alzheimer’s Association. Now she’s come up with another fabulous idea, and is offering the chance to win an extremely huge blog candy prize. All you have to do is make and send a card to a caregiver, for a chance to enter. The full details can be found here on Carolyn’s blog.

This card was made with the new Whimsical Autumn set.

The card base is wild wasabi, with a layer of metallic sea foam on the bottom, embossed with distressed stripes EF. The top layer is SU DP, the fiskars edge punch was used on this piece.

The image was stamped on water colour paper, I used a soft sky ink pad & Koi water brush to colout in the water. Each pussy willow has a dab of the white from the inkssentials pen, and then glue to adhere the fun flock. This panel is popped up.

The ribbon is wild wasabi tied through a buckle from the stylized silver HPH.

The sentiment was stamped in black, and layered with the small oval punch, and popped up.

TFL!

Have a great day!

Live to Sk8, Sk8 to Live!

Hello out there, my Husband asked me to make a card for the son of someone he works with. I’ve never met him, but I do know he’s in Gr. 9 and likes to skateboard. The only skateboard stamp I have, is this one from the ‘Whatever Floats Your Boat” set by Rupa Shevde from GinaK Designs.

I was worried this image may not be cool enough for a boy his age. My Daughter Rachel is 15, and is/was into skateboarding too, so I decided to take some ideas from her clothes & favorite store West49.

The first thing I think of when someone mentions skateboards, is the fancy boards with bold graphics, skulls & crossbones, and the roughed up worn look, so that’s pretty much how this card came to be!

The card base is black, with a layer of old olive, and a layer of riding hood red that was run through the CB with the skeleton skull EF, and then the edges were distressed. Both the green & red layers have black sponged on the edges.

The image was stamped with noir black palette onto white, & onto water colour paper. The flames were hand drawn onto the board & coloured in with SU markers. I used SU markers, ink & a Koi water brush to colour the turtle. The turtle was cut out of the water colour paper, and I added a coat of crystal effects to his shell. I made him a hat with black cardstock, and the glasses are a brad. He’s popped up. I also used big brads for the skateboard wheels.

The sentiment was stamped in riding hood red ink, & cut out with the oval nestabilities.

The finishing touch was this really cool leather from offray that I found in a discount bin! See I knew I could use it some day!

So that’s my story! I hope he likes it!

Have a Great Day!

8 Daisy's for Daisy!

Yeah it’s Friday!

The card I’m posting today was made for my Daughter’s friend Daisy, who is turning 8 tomorrow. Since I needed a card & wanted to play in the waste not want notchallenge jess jean(Jessica) was hosting in the Ginak forum, I decided to combine the two!

I used the daisy from the ‘Flowers for Daisy’set, designed by Asela Hopkins, it can be found at GinaK Designs. It’s a beautiful set! I decided to make 8 Daisy’s since she is turning eight.

The challenge was to use a whole 6x6 piece of designer paper, which I’ve never done before. Mostly because I am a self proclaimed DP hoarder! So I’m proud of myself, I used the whole entire piece!

The card base is white, with a layer of pretty in pink dp.

I cut all the pieces as described in the ‘Waste not want not’thread. That’s how I started anyway! I did end up cutting the 2x2 piece into 4 triangles, and the 2x4 piece into 2 - 1x4’s.

I used the Martha Stewart Doily lace edge punch on the white strips.

I stamped 8 flowers with the noir black palette ink. The centers of the flowers are colored with a pretty in pink marker, and the petals are covered with the stardust gelly roll pen. I love that stuff! You can actually see it in this photo. I attached 6 of the flowers with clear glue dots just in the center of the flower, and I also covered the centers of the flowers with diamond stickles. The last 2 flowers were popped up with dimensionals. Added some ribbon & da da! A pretty shimmery bouquet!

I had to add some of the dp inside, I’ll add a photo of that so you can see what it looks like.

I hope you all have a great day!

Laurie
