This card was from a set I bought and never used (except for this one image) It has since been passed on to another fellow stamper, who will give it the love and use it needs.
Card deets: Cardstock- Old Olive, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Chatterbox dp. Ink- palette noir black, versa mark. Stamps- sentiment from Butterfly Kisses (papertrey) flower (From the heart:SU). Accessories- dew drops, grograin ribbon, and paper piecer
Augh! Can you believe its Monday already? Where did the weekend go? It went way to fast. I did get a little stamping done, not as much as I wanted to. For some reason had trouble getting in the groove. Any way, I had stumbled across this card on SCS and knew I had to case it. If I find a cute, fast card..yup, going to try to case it. Have a great Monday..see ya tomorrow.
A quick simple card, wishing for warmer weather for a friend. I'm loving the cold and was loving the wee bit of snow we got. Finally opened my guava paper. Dh and I went for a date night last night, it was so nice to be able just to sit and talk. We definately ate too much.
Itty bitty card here. I'm still trying to use at least one stamp from every set I have. This is a small version of Beate's sketch(31). As I was cleaning my room I found this cosmo cricket dp. Oh, I thought let's see what I can match with it.. hm, dewdrops of course, primas that a secret sister had sent long ago, crystal brads and of course stickles. The sentiment says hello, it might be too dark to see it. I'm so glad it's Wednesday! Halfway through the week. Weekend means more stamping! : ) Also this weekend is the NHL All-Star game in Atlanta!! Our fav team has 2 guys that will be playing. 
It has been so cold here lately. But that has put me in the mood to pull out my old winter stamps and give them a chance to see ink. Yesterday was MLK day and we took school off. I got to stamp most of the afternoon and got through most of Season 2 of Stargate SG-1. Back to reality with school and work today.
Well another weekend whizzed by. Poof! There it went. My dh and I screamed ourselves hoarse watching the NY Giants and Green Bay Packers game last night. What a game. No, we're not normally big football fans (well not that much anymore) but our hockey team had already played ( and lost..boohoo) and we needed our sports fix. It was so strange to wake up to snow on the ground! Not much, but enough to let us know how cold it was outside. Our church had already called everyone the night before cancelling services (yup, if they feel there is going to be ice, everything shuts down), so we spent a quiet Sunday. I got some stamping done., so have something to share for the next couple of days.
Weatherman predicted snow. So far nothing but rain..but its cold out there!! I have to brag on my dh. I have the bestest handiest man around. There isn't anything that has broken yet around the house or on the car that he hasn't been able to fix! So 3 cheers for him!! He fixed our tv after a week of the blue screen of death!!
When you think of comfort, you think blue jeans. A nice faded pair that fit just right. You've been through thick and thin together. When you get home from a stressful day, you change out of your work clothes and put them on. I saw this scrap piece of jean paper and had to make a card that screamed comfort.
So, this is where I got that scrap of ribbon from Monday's post. Sunday was a day of utter bliss. I got to play in my stamp room for most of the afternoon. I started out with one card idea (yesterdays) and after I finished looked around thinking hm, so starting digging in the file folder that had left over dp and found this funky watercolor blue and thought, I do need a few sympathy cards on hand.
My eldest daughter called me on her way to a celebration dinner last night. She's engaged, she says. I hear myself say congratulations, and inside I'm thinking there is no way I'm that old! My mind has been humming that song from Fiddler on the Roof ever since. Wasn't it yesterday she was a baby, learning to walk, charming everyone? Didn't we used to dress her up like the girl above for church? Wasn't it just the other day she started school, learned to read? It's only 7 in the morning, but I think I need a stiff drink..good thing I have my coffee.
S& F works for me. I was digging through my file of left over background paper and found this maroon/purple dots from eons ago from SU. Yup, had a quiet aha moment and in less than 5 minutes threw this together. (ok, so it helped that I had a scrap of black ribbon and paper right there to, left over from another card) For the next few days I'm posting the cards with their envies. I always try to have the envies matching as much as possible.
Shew! Dh arrived home safely and early (he was able to catch an earlier flight) and come in bearing chocolates from Thornton's!!!! Talk about knowing how to make a girls' day. *grin*
Yippee!! Dh gets home from Wales today. I want to hear all about what he got to see over there. He did mention being able to go through a castle his hotel was across the street from. I wanted to try something a bit out of my usual. This card only measures about 2.5x 6. 
I love being able to stamp a bit each day! I also love the fact that I now have background noise! What am I talking about you ask? Well I'm one of those weird people that gets more done when there is more going on in the background. For Christmas my wonderful, fabulous dh got me a laptop that runs dvd's on it. So now, not only can I have the internet up with all those fab ideas, but I can have a movie playing also. Right now I'm slowly going through my collection of Stargate SG-1 episodes (yes, I am a rabid sci-fi fan and have them all) so I figure they should keep me going for a while. After that, I think I'll start in on my M*A*S*H collection (thanks Mom for THAT addiction) 
I've been so amazed that every day since New Years I have been able to make at least one card each day. I haven't posted most of them, because they were straight case's and you don't want to see that again. I made this one for my January package to my secret sister. I know you can't tell very well, but the hearts on her dress, headband and of course big heart have stickles on them. There is also a tiny pink crystal on her shoe strap. I finally used my Copics that I got for Christmas!! I was sooo nervous about using them for the first time.
