Falling for you...


The challenge for this Friday was "falling for you." Another one of those challenges that is open for interpretation if you ask me. I did a 'fall' card recently and wasn't really in the mood for those colors today so,....I went for a love type of card. Hope this works!
My background paper isn't background paper at all! I used my A Rose is a Rose stamp set and made my own paper. Love it! The colors are Riding hood red, regal rose, kiwi kiss and artichoke. This rose set is really easy to line up. I have had some in the past that were a bear! This one is totally easy. I stamped randomly all over my paper and then cut it up to use for different projects. The card base is riding hood red with a strip of Bella Rose DSP and Kiwi Kiss cardstock on it. I used the papier piercer to do the faux stitching and then added some bigger holes by using the piercer without the guide. The ribbon is the new riding hood red taffeta....yummy!
I'm sure the other BC girls will have lots of different takes on this challenge so be sure to check them out. :o))

This is really beautiful Beckie. These colors together looks stunning (you and I must have been on the same color kick...or close to it). Such lovely design elements and layout. Fabulous all the way around.

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...
