Happy Friday!!

Happy Friday everyone!! I am so looking forward to this weekend! I plan on stamping, stamping and then stamping some more! LOL My only other plan is a date night with my hubby! He wants to go to the drive-in....Iron Man (yuck!) and then Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford ...oh my ;-)) LOL Oh well, there will lots of stamping time!

I just LOVE how this card came out!!! Can you believe it no ribbon! LOL I did have a bit of time with it. My intention was to incorporate more the Ginger Blossom Designer Paper.....I couldn't match up anything that I liked.....so I ended up with the above! I think it turned out a lot more elegant than I was originally planned. Thanks for looking!!!

Blessings

Hello :-) I am back!!

Finally, I am back! This month has been extremely hectic, but I believe I am caught up! Thank you so much for prayers, kindness and patience. My dear hubby Gene is doing well, though he will have to go through a bunch of tests the next couple of weeks. Once again thank you so much for your prayers :-)

As some of you may know I work full time at a University so between classes ending, graduation, summer semester and out of town meetings....work has been keeping my on my toes. After tomorrow I will be back on schedule. *whew*

Stamping related... my best friend is getting married! So I made her 100 invitiations this month and then I committed to my first swap with the Great Swap Girls!! Now that they are done...I should have plenty of stamping time for just me and of course updating my blog:-)

I actually made this card a couple of weeks ago and just now had a chance to upload it! I bought this stamp set last minute...I really do LOVE it!! It is just too cute!! I hope you like it!! Have a great weekend!!

Blessings

Hey everyone

I just wanted to post a quick update. My DH Gene has been in the hospital and I we are hoping he will be released sometime this weekend. The past couple of weeks have been extremely stressful and I definitely have missed my stamping time:-) I do have a couple of cards done, I just haven't had time to take pics and post them. Hopefully I will be back on track Monday! Thank you for your emails and I will get back with you just as quick as I can. Thank you all for your prayers.

Blessings

It's Thursday!!! :-)

Good Morning everyone!! It is Thursday!!! Thursday's are pretty wonderful...Survivor and Lost is on TV tonight. It is the day before Friday!! Plus a couple of girlfriends (Hey Karen, Tessie and Barb!!!) are planning a road trip on Saturday!! We are going to Cincinnati!! I LOVE our road trips!! An entire day of shopping, laughing and just having the best fun! Wahooo!!

Anyway :-)....today's card is for the splitcoast sketch challenge SC174. I believe this is the first large card I have made. I usually stick to the normal size or smaller. I am not sure how I feel about how "size". I do LOVE the colors! The yellow ribbon (fairy tale) goes perfect!! This is also my favorite hostess level 2 set ...Infinite goodness!! I just love the look of the stamped images!!! Perfect for watercoloring :-) Have a great day everyone!!

Blessings
