Make it Monday Videos

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Monday everyone! Today, let us pause from our crafting routine and our Make It Monday videos to honor those who have given their lives in service for our freedom

I think both President Abraham Lincoln and President Ronald Regan remind us of the need to be grateful for the liberties we all enjoy today.

President Abraham Lincoln in his  Gettysburg Address
“that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain”.

President Ronald Regan
“Today as we pay solemn tribute to our fallen countrymen we know we can never give them as much as they gave us, but we also know that our generation and succeeding generations can, by keeping the flame of freedom burning brightly, ensure that they did not die in vain. As you pay tribute to these brave Americans, may we always walk in the light of their memory the light of Liberty which shines from age to age and still illumines the way forward.”

Let us also remember and honor our loved ones who, though not fallen soldiers, certainly are fallen heros. May they and all the souls of the faith departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace.

God Bless you all and God Bless America!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

A Sad Good-bye to Flowers of Beauty!

Don’t you hate it when one of your favorite stamp sets gets moved to the retiring list? For me it is the Flowers of Beauty. While I am extremely happy that I purchased this set, it is always sad to say good-bye when sets retire. As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator I try to feature our most recent products. Even though I don’t feature them on my blog or in my stamping classes, I will for sure be keeping this one in my stash to create cards to gift and to sell.

Let’s Take A Closer Look

Cards #1-Happy Birthday
Card #2 Just A Note
Card #3-Happy Birthday
