Embrace Life joyfully
Sorry! No scrapbooking again! I am such a slacker!
This will be a short post, because I have another super bad migraene. I just wanted to share a project of yesterday’s stamp camp.
The card base is Groovy Guava, the designer paper from Ginger Blossom.
The set is Embrace Life.
The flower is stamped with Brown Stazon on Shimmery white cardstock and colored in with Aqua Painter and Classic inks (Groovy Guava and More Mustard). The flower center is an Antique Brass Jumbo Eyelet.

I have some good personal news. Rick will be coming home for two weeks during spring break. He has one week of, then goes to a week long class right here! We are so excited. He is already planning a short trip (that’s my man, he loves to take trips) to the Smoky Mountains. I will be roughing it with my family for a few days in a log cabin! Wohoo (not on the roughing it part)!!!
This is a beautiful card Beate - I am bettin’ that they loved it!
I hope you feel better - migraines are the worst!

Yeeeeeeeeeeah for you!!! I can’t imagine what military life is like and don’t think I could handle it. I’m ecstatic for you and the family. Oh, the card! I was about to go into a soliloquy about Rick coming home, LOL. The card is beautiful!!! I love the style (layout) and colors, I bet they enjoyed making it. TFS.
Gorgeous, Beate! I really have to get this set! I’m sure everyone LOVED created this! Hope your migraine goes away soon! Not fun! And YAY on Rick coming home for 2 weeks! How exciting for you guys!
Great news - Rick coming hom not your migraine. Hope the head improves soon. Love the card.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! That’s wonderful news about Rick coming home! Hope you feel better!
Beautiful card Beate. And such happy news that Rick will be coming home and you’ll all get to bond in the mountains. I’m happy for you:)
Hope you feel better soon!
I love this card…I really like the layout…such a fun different way to do a card. I also love the eyelet in the middle of the flower!
Hope the migraine goes away for you! I feel your pain…I was down all yesterday with one! Feel better!
That card is gorgeous! And woohoo for Rick coming for a visit. That is awesome news.
Love this card Beate - thanks for sharing the details on how to make it - hope your migraine goes away soon - and so glad to hear that your hubby is coming home for a couple of weeks - how exciting!!
How exciting that Rick will be home for a couple of weeks–that’s awesome!! Love the card–it has a clean and fresh feel to it with the colors and I love that
What a beautiful card . . . thanks for the measurement info. Sorry sorry sorry you have yet another headache. I’m sure it’s stress related and sounds like some of the stress will be relieved once Rick gets home for a visit. Thanks again and take care!
Glad to hear your family will all be together again and enjoying what sounds like a terrific vacation! Sorry to hear about your migraine,
(I’ve been having them the past couple days myself.)
Beate…….I am so glad to hear that your husband is coming home and that you will get to take a vacation to the Smoky Mountains. I live in western NC, just about 1 1/2 hours from Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, TN and the cabins that we have stayed in on our vacations there are FAR from roughing it! We prefer a cabin to a motel any day! Have a great time!
I absolutely LOVE this card, it is stunning :)..I love the colors and the layout of the card. I am waiting for the “Embrace Life” stamp set to arrive, anyday now I hope :)!
Hugs,

Gorgeous card!! The colors are just beautiful and the layout is too cool!! I’m off for the next few days so I’m going to visit your tutorial and give this one a shot!
Sorry ’bout the migraine-they’re horrible that’s for sure. I hope yours is better soon. BUT, so happy to hear about Rick coming home!! That’s wonderful!! I’m sure you’ll enjoy EVERY minute.
Take care.
Gorgeous card. How exciting that your hubby is coming home soon. Hope you have a wonderful trip to the mountains. I live near Gatlinburg, it’s beautiful.
What a beauty - love the watercoloring.
I’m so happy for you that your hubby is coming home for 2 weeks - your kiddies must be excited.
Your Joy Fold card is soooo gorgeous!! I love those papers and stamps!!
I hope you’re feeling better!!! Hugs!!!
Awwww…enjoy that time with your sweetie! Keeping ALL the military and their families in my prayers.
Lovely card. Just got this set and can’t wait to play with it! THRILLED for you that Rick is coming home and what an added bonus that it is for TWO weeks. Have a wonderful time on your vacation - sure the “roughing it” part will be minor compared to being together as a family. Make sure you and hubby get a night to yourselves too. Hope the migraine doesn’t last long.
I bet you couldn’t make an ugly card even if you tried !!!! This is gorgeous, girlie !!! LOVE IT
Gorgeous card Beate!! Thanks for the tutorial. I am so delighted to hear Rick is coming home for a couple of weeks. Roughing it in a cabin, huh? Sounds like a blast!! Hope you are feeling better soon.
