Framed Tulips

Here is another card I made at Kim's this month with the framed tulips impressions folder.  Don't ya love that frame?  We used the stamp set Just Believe, which is one of my favorite flower sets.  Look at those cute little butterflies.  Those are from the embosslits die Beautiful Wings.

Do you ever wish for days where you could put your feet up and do nothing.  Well, I am on day three of doing nothing and would love to do SOMETHING!  LOL!  We always want what we can't have.....

I have four more days of keeping my foot elevated and iced.  I am getting my computer hard drive cleaned up and more digital scrapbooking done.  I am so ready to create some cards.  I got some new stamps right before my operation and they are lonely.  Hee hee!

Thanks for all your get well wishes.  You are all so sweet!

Card Maker Inspiration

I receive a weekly newsletter from Card Maker and was inspired by their last card.  I loved the simplicity of it.  In addition, I have been listening to podcasts from Paper Clipping.  They have been talking about using kraft cardstock or now it is called crumb cake at Stampin' Up!  I love that cardstock, and decided I need to use more of it too.   Here is the one I made:

This is the Just Believe set that I put off purchasing.  I am so glad I got it.... LOVE IT!

So Glad

I have finally caved and bought this Just Believe set.  My friend, Kim has been telling me I needed this set, since it was released in the Idea Book and Catalog last summer.  I am soooo glad I bought it.

This is the other project we made at Emily's workshop last weekend.  It is so cute!  I love how she used a strip of old olive paper embossed with the square lattice impressions folder instead of ribbon.  Great idea, Emily!

I am the hostess this Saturday for the sketch Challenge at Paper Craft Planet and I used this set for my card.  I hope you can play along with me.

Just Believe

This stamp set, Just Believe is my friend, Kim's favorite set.  She keeps trying to talk me into the fact I need one of these.  I really like this card we made, but I have so many flowers that I haven't caved "yet".

This is so cool, because the friends section is a bookmark.  Oh, I love this!

Bookmark

The bookmark was made with the Two Tags Bigz Die.  AND.....look at that ribbon!  Love how we tied those two together.
