Blogger's challenge


Today our challenge was to use Bayou Blue, Real Red and River Rock together. What a great color combo! I really liked it! This is a simple card. I used the Bblue as the card base and added a River rock card to that. I stamped the flower from in Bayou blue and sponged the centers lightly with Real red. I added a bit of white gel pen to the....what are those things called? Flower fingers? Anyway, I added a strip of real red along the bottom and stamped Embrace Life in Bayou blue. I added a tiny strip of Bayou blue on top of that to pull it all together.
It is great to be home. After flying all night, I got home around 10:30 yesterday morning. Most of my kids were home from school...? But they were nice enough to let me sleep til 2pm. Then we started the clean up. Let me tell ya.....six kids can really make a gross mess. Maybe I should just say 7 kids and count dear hubby in there. My oldest daughter was an absolute angel and kept the kitchen clean. That made SUCH a difference!
I had a scrappin night last night so I'm back in the stampin saddle already. Two more workshops this weekend and then...maybe I'll catch my breath. The spa was great and I am still feeling relaxed from my days there. I hope it lasts for a while!

Have a happy day!

That's an awesome card. I love how you didn't color the flowers in completely like I am always tempted to do, this is such a great idea - such a soft look! Great layout too!

Birthday blog candy!

In honor of my birthday, I am offering another package of blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about getting older. :o) The candy includes a package of cardstock, metal edge tags, sanding block, cool metal border stickers, silver gel pen, and a set of mini gift cards stamped by yours truly. For some reason, my 'rechargeable batteries' decided not to 'recharge' anymore. I am quite distraught about that. I planned to share these pictures a couple of days ago, but....I had to wait til I bought some new batteries. I have to say tho, I was really afraid I had broken my camera! I'm glad it is just the batteries! I borrowed my friend's Precious stamp set the other day and have been having fun with it! I made this card using a square card base of chocolate chip (5-12" square). I stamped the swirlies in blue bayou onto a large piece of whisper white and onto a smaller piece. I cut out a butterfly and stuck i...

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I...

Soccer, projects and....Blog Candy!!

Okay, I know I promised to post some blog candy a couple days ago but, what was I thinking? The weekend has become the crazy part of my week! We have entered the World of Soccer. All you soccer moms out there will totally know what I am talking about. We are still in the little leagues of it, only one practice a week and one game. Per child of course....I'm glad my son decided he didn't want to play. Two kids is enough! It was a beautiful weekend tho. The weather was awesome. The sun got bright during the afternoon game, but every few minutes it would rain so, it kept us nice an comfy. Only in Florida can you have rain on a sunny day. It is one of the wonders of the world. I put together a few goodies for Blog Candy today. I have been having way too much fun making stuff with coasters and patterned paper lately. Stampin' Up! has made it even easier to use these two items together by offering the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. If you haven't used it, you've got to! It is aw...
