I know most people who come across my blog are here for the crafts, cards, and scrapbook pages, but I wanted to take some time to talk (once again) about my favorite high school drill team,. The Quinlan-Ford High School Blue Belles have been a huge part of my life, and our family. It started in the mid-70's when my mother's cousin joined the fairly new team, then in the early 90's one of my cousins joined. After that, there has been a succession of girls from my family who have joined and learned valuable life skills. We joke all the time that we have formed a "Legacy," and that may partly be true. We have a current Belle, and a fresh new group of Baby Belles waiting in the wings. I love that so many of us can share this experience and have a bond that goes right along with our family ties. On April 23, 2016, a lot of us were able to get together and perform as Alumni in this year's Spring Show. It was really fantastic to get to dance with my Belle Sisters, many of them being family. Of course, we were there to cheer on and watch Mollie perform as well, and as a bonus the Baby Belles performed too. It was a true family event for us to enjoy!

Challenges Entered: If You Give a Crafter A Cookie Cute Card Thursday Cards 4 Galz I got the inspiration for this card off of another site. I would link it here, but I can't remember which one it was. I knew when I saw this quilting technique that I had to try it. I started by cutting out small squares using my stitched squares dies from Lawn Fawn, then cut each square in half making smaller triangles. Next I arranged them in the quilt pattern. I found this one online just by googling "quilt patterns" Next, I cut out a square big enough to fit my quilted pattern on, and glued all the pieces down in the correct order. I matted the quilt on another stitched square and then again on the bigger grey, stitched rectangle. The stamped image and the "Together" die cut are both from the Stamps of Life, and I thought they were fantastic and a perfect fit for this card.
