Thank you for using more Designer Paper...

As you know, one of my 'issues' is not using enough designer paper. So I had a few Thank you cards that I was to make and of course wanted to use the jumbo eyelets that I have been eying up for some time.... so I came up with this.

The inside has designer paper on it- which I did compose my thank you message on, but it was light enough. The only trick I had was using a pen that would write on it.. but I blame the pen and not the paper (wink wink) since I am sure they are old and I need new ones (wink wink)

I know its been a while since I have posted. I have limited days left until my sweetie deploys - so I have been spenting every moment I can with him... HE EVEN WENT GROCERY SHOPPING WITH ME... so I guess it is L-O-V-E.. ha ha. Its my first true deployment and not military school - so its different for me, however, with all the stuff on my 'honey do' list, I will be kept busy for the most part of the year plus hes gone. I do believe hardily he will return before we know it and life will continue as is.

God Bless all the soldiers/sailors for their hard work and giving us our freedom.

I love Cherry Chapstick...

... Just kidding... I am not a fan of any flavor chapsticks or lip gloss, just want them shiny and smooth! Isn't that their purpose? One might say I am alittle crazy about it. I have lipgloss at work, in the car, in every purse I have and on the night stand. Crazy? maybe a little.... shhhh... do not tell!

I 'had to have' this stamp, when I saw it. Perfect for many friends on different occasions. Then never used it for months and while I did a quick sweep of cleaning the craft cave, I came upon it and stopped. I had to ink it up and use it!!! Cleaning up can wait!

One of my recent observations is that I do not use half the designer paper or printed paper that I own. So I incorporated it in the scheme of things. The So Saffron has a flower print on it but you cannot really see it in the picture - but i know its there!

Thank you for stopping by. Have a good day!!

WILD ABOUT FRIDAYS

I have searching for this picture for a long long time... since at least July... when the baby shower was... I didn't realize it went into the wrong folder... man... I have got to get better organized.

This was part of a baby shower gift I did for my cousin, back in July, when she was having her baby boy. She went into labor early, and we postponed the shower until later... but here is the Thank you cards and door hanger I put together for her. Other goodies were included, but nothing too fun!!!

One of those days...

Coming into work after a beautiful weekend like we just had - is hard. It was truly a weekend where you didn't want to be in the house for any amount of time.

Here is a card I did recently for a swap. As I mentioned before, I have been participated in swaps to keep the creative juices flowing. I had to borrow this stamp set, but I like it enough, I might have to have it.
