Another Pick A Petal
Here is another Pick A Petal card that I got from Heidi. Isn't it super cute? I'm so happy she chose this set to make cards with! The flower petals themselves are stamped onto Naturals card stock and the upper petal is cut out from the top of the card stock. Heidi was thinking out of the box! And the leaves are stamped on and then cut out of designer paper which adds great contrast! Of course, there is a little bling with a fun Fire Circle Rhinestone brad. I like the fact that the naturals card stock is enough for the background on this card. Makes it cute and economical, too! Neat how the same set can make two completely different cards, huh? Wait 'til you see tomorrow! :o)Stamps: Pick A Petal, Holiday's and Wishes
Card Stock: Regal Rose, Rose Red, Naturals, POP
Ink: Rose Red, Certainly Celery (?)
Accessories: Fire Circle Rhinestone Brad

Swap Card
Morning, everyone! A couple of months ago I participated in a one-on-one swap with my friend
Heidi. Due to some health problems with her daughter (ongoing unfortunately) she was delayed in getting my cards to me. Happily they have arrived are are just great! So, over the next couple of days I'm going to share them with you. The card for today...ingenious! I just love the way she used the petals to make the tulip! And the outline petals for the leaves...fantastic! I love the 'from the heart' sentiment on it, too! Wouldn't this be just a great card to send to someone who is feeling down or not well? The stamp sets are Pick a Petal and Holiday's and Wishes. Cardstock is Soft Sky, Purely Pomegranate and Naturals Ivory. Ink is Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi (I think), and what looks to be Marigold Morning. What a fun, fun, card!

Awwww...
Awww...you guys...I had to take my Mitzy to the vet today because Todd found a weird bump
on her hindquarter a couple of days ago. So, we proceeded to give her a bath because we thought that maybe something got matted in her long hair which is possible because she is so low to the ground. Well, when we gave her the bath the area started to bleed so we promptly called the vet (okay, the next morning) The vet felt it and promptly told me I was going to have to leave her there because she was going to have to put Mitzy under anesthesia The vet thought it was dead skin and it would have to be removed. Well, after starting my heart again I left her with the vet who promised to be good to her (I told her that she better be good to her!) and that she would call later this afternoon with an update. Well, not more than an hour later the vet called and said that when she shaved the hair that the dead skin came off and the new skin looks fantastic AND she didn't have to put Mitzy under anesthesia...yay! So, I went and picked her up. I just have to put hydro cortisone on
the wound area and give her an antibiotic twice a day. Other than that and one of those silly cone thingies on her head she is good to go! Wanna know what makes me mad? She was bit...yes, bit by another small animal. Now, one would think it could have been our other dog but she is too big. So...either another small dog snuck under the fence (impossible!) or one of the neighborhood "stray" cats came in our back yard (totally torque's me off!) and bit her!!!!! I'm soooo angry about it as we have a neighbor that lets her cats out at night and in during the day. They poop all over the neighborhood, lay on our porch, even has entered our garage! Of course I can't prove anything but I just know it was a cat! My poor Mitzy! She is so sore this afternoon and she hates the cone thing BUT she is so good natured that she hasn't cried or anything!
Now, onto the artwork! I made this card today for my own challenge. I decided I couldn't ask you guys to make a list and card without doing it myself so here is the card! And here is my top 10...
The top 10 reasons I married my husband...
1. Have you seen him in a uniform (then army or now police?)...wow!
2. When I told him I had three boys (3, 8, 13 at that time) he didn't blink!
3. He exudes confidence.
4. He let me drive for our first date.
5. He wants ME to be happy.
6. His family is a little whacked but he loves them any way. Especially his grandma.
7. He's lived lots of places and wants to show me them all.
8. He is an excellent provider.
9. Life will always be an adventure with him if I just let it be.
10. He has emotions and he's not afraid to show them!
Thanks everyone that participated! Just an hour and a half until a winner is chosen! I'll be back after dinner! :o)

Do you ever...
So, do you ever have to really work hard to keep yourself from being a total witch to people? Just about everyone I have run into today has totally ticked me off and I want to just yell at them. I have resisted the urge so far but I have a head ache and I'm just tired. No...I'm not pregnant...I don't have all the parts anymore. Yes, I guess it could be PMS but frankly since my hysterectomy last summer it hasn't been as bad. AHHHHHH.....
How about you?
How about you?
Good Morning!
Remember I told you guys I had to make another 6x6 for a swap that I was in? Well....this is it! I decided to use the set Fabulous Flowers and make it more of a fall theme. I love the results! So...I have a SWAP and a CHALLENGE going on here on my blog. Have you signed up for one or the other? Here are some important dates for ya...
For the Swap...
* Technically today is the last day to sign up for the swap. Right now you'd have to find some friends to swap with us though because we have three full groups so we'd have to start another group.
* Deadline for me to receive the swaps...Sept 11th. I cannot accept them if they are late so please be sure to get them to me on time.
For the Challenge...
* If you'd like to participate the challenge is this...make a list of the 10 reasons you married your husband, make a card for him and put the list inside. Either e-mail or link me your card and you'll be placed in a drawing for a stamp set. Don't forgot to give him the card!
* This ends TOMORROW (Wednesday Aug 29th) at 5 p.m. so if you'd like to join...get hoppin'!
Have a fantastic day!
How I made this 6x6 page...
Stamps: Fabulous Flowers
Cardstock: Textured River Rock, Apple Cider DP, Wild Wasabi, River Rock, Whisper White
Ink: Really Rust, River Rock, Basic Black
Accessories: Signo Gel Pen, Ticket Corner Punch, Fire Circle Rhinestone Brads, Dimensionals, Glitter
Notes: The flower is attached with a dimensional and the 'Dare to be Fabulous' are only partially attached so that a photo is easily attached onto the Wild Wasabi cardstock.
