HELLO AND WELCOME AUGUST OH HAPPY DAY

Hello, how are  all of you today?  As we say good  bye to July, one of  my favorite  months usually,  I am ready to welcome  August this year... I have  three cards to share, two are  from out  group that love to share ideas and challenges...And one is a birthday  card  for my  brother Bill 

So  here we go  
First is Bill's card,  both of my brothers and I share a love for trains... I love  Basic Grey Paper  and  this is all I could come up with...  I distressed  the edges  to go with the  look of the paper  



# 2  is  from our August  ideas and goodies,  I love  the  selection of paper  we were  given...Awesome stuff  
This card is  for  my  niece,  hope she is  not peeking in here  today ...lol 
 If you are,   I love  you Tanya... 
I used  paper and  die  cut   and sentiment  along with  following  the chalenge to make a  FLAT card  that  would not cost EXTRA  to mail...
I added some  bling because Tanya is a "sparkly "  kind of  gal


#3  is  a special  card....not to be  mailed to any one~ but to start off August  in the  mind to remember and celebrate 

I used lots of  bling to  create a HAPPY  look  
So are  you smiling?  And are  you wondering  why it is a HAPPY DAY

OK  here ya  go... 


Today is a reminder yet also a day to celebrate.... 

10 years ago today 

was diagnosed with cancer and started my journey to fight that battle... 

I had the most amazing support team of my family, my extended family,

 and friends along with friends of each of them~

 and I had God's Blessing

 and Hand ~ 

So today as I know I am a survivor I live knowing God hears and provides 

And I get to watch grand children grow and daughters excel and hope I

 can convey to all of that support team as well as new people in my life 

that my heart says thank you and I love you all .

Never take a second for

 granted, enjoy each and every one of them... 

And always say thank you


Thank you  for stopping  by, I hope the  tea  was  as you like it,  and enjoyed  the sunshine as you   were able to visit... 

Til  next  time I leave you with, smiles and  happiness,   Have a Great Day...

  1. Love your cards Soni. The one for Bill is very striking. You know that I also love BG papers.

    You did a great job with the challenge. I have used my kit to make one card, but I only used one of the little butterflies. So I have a lot left to choose from.

    Congratulations on being a survivor of more than just your cancer. You're such a strong lady. So happy to count you as a friend.
