Thank You

Here is the Thank you card I did for Faith's Easter gifts. I love the Chocolate Chip and Old Olive Combo from Stampin Up! the paper and the ribbon are Old Olive adn the striped paper is from the Winter Mini called "Ski-Slope designer series paper".

By the way for those of you that don't know the May sale is buy 3 get 1 free on the Designer series paper. I am going to be placing an order so don't miss out.

I swear to update more often

I know that I have been naughty about updating my blog... I am working on a scrapbook right now for a class I am going to give for the College in the fall. The cost will be 75$ and it will be for two Saturday mornings but you will walk away with great prizes and a completed scrapbook. I am (thanks to Tammy) going to center the theme around each month. There will be a two page layout for every month.

Here is one of the cards I managed to complete outside of this project. It was inspired by a Hero Arts stamp set that I saw in their winter catalog. Here I used their snowflake background stamp . I also used the Martha Stewart rhinestone stickers. This was the Stampin Up Basic Black Paper and the Whisper White Ink.

Our Newest Family Member

Here is our newest family member as if having two dogs and two cats wasn't enough...

At work one day my co-worker came by and said I have to take this cat to the Humane Society. I of course couldn't let her. I said I would "foster" the cat until Papa came through and I would see if he wanted to take him home to Florida. Well as you all know me and mine we love him desperately already. His name is "Rudy" short for Rudolph as in the Red-Nose-Reindeer. He's fun and we love him so much already.
