Warning...this is a really long post today. We celebrated my daughter-in-law Sarah's 30th birthday with a Clam boil & BBQ at her brother's house on Saturday. It was supposed to be a surprise party but in Marc's haste one day (a few days before the party) he left something on his desk in their home office & she saw it...so surprise was off, oh well.
Slide show of Sarah's birthday BBQ at her brother's house.
Sarah is a fantastic golfer & I bought this Bella stamp with her in mind & the sentiment fit her to a tee (pun intended)!

Picnic basket is a template from Lauren Meader at Papertrey Inc, called "My Timeless Templates". Lauren now has her own business called "My Time Made Easy" selling her templates & she has ventured into stamping to go along with the templates, go take a look, you will be amazed at her talent.
another view of the basket...I luv the colors!
Sarah has been wanting my Starbucks mug for awhile & I wouldn't give it up. She likes it because she said it fits her hands just right & it's hard to find a mug like that...so watch out if it turns up missing someday, hehehe!!! So I figured I better find her one & wow I found it at a Starbucks on the way back to Vegas from San Diego while we were on vacation in April & bought it right away for Sarah...now she won't take mine!
I made a daisy flower with leaves for this basket top. click here for tutorial
This was the first picnic basket I made & it ended up being too small - so this one will be used for a future gift. So I went back to my printer & printed up a larger scale basket to fit the cup...I forgot to fill the whole page with the template settings on my printer.
Flower was made using the SU Flower Daisies #2 die & stamping CS with a script background stamp click here to see the video tutorial on how to make these.
