Missing!

Hey!
Sorry I've been missing but I've had some sickness these past couple weeks and now have a full blown common cold! Go figure!!!
I do hope to get a card made this weekend - it will be a copy of one I saw yesterday... quite unique. Can't say anymore than that!
Once it's done I'll post it and definitely give full credit to the original creator!!!
Have a great day!
Stay warm!
Blessings!

Black & White & Rich Razzleberry!

Good Morning!
Just a quick post today! Trying to get "caught up" .... here is a simple "Black and White" I made last night - using Rich Razzleberry as the accent color! You could proably call this one a "ten minute card" ....
Thanks for peeking!

This is not a Christmas Card!

Hey!

I wanted to just "play" today ... and not think about the Christmas Cards I still need to make ... to do something a little different... so here it is! I have this DSP paper from the Holiday Mini - which will be closing as of January 4, 2010... it's called Night and Day Speciality ... [all black and white and a couple sheets of vellum]. I had the urge to make a black and white card that was NOT a sympathy card.... I added the Bermuda Blue as an accent color and think it turned out quite nice!

The other day a friend and I cut out some chip board pieces using the Nesties - to allow us to have an "unembossed" space with embossing around it when we run the CS thru the CuttleBug or Big Shot. I like how that turned out too!

Am I sounding pretty prideful today? Don't mean to! But I'm feeling the MOJO again! Finally!!! :0

Here is the inside where I will add a note of appreciation to some special person or people!

Hope you enjoyed this peek into my little world today!

Have a wonderful week!

Inspiration Challenge #209

Yesterday afternoon I visited Mercy Kerin's blog ... where she had created a card for the Inspiration Challenge at splitcoast...

http://lordhavemercy-mercykerin.blogspot.com/

So I thought I'd give it a try as well ... The idea was to go to Charm Lady Boutique and use something from there as your inspriration... here is the charm I chose

Here is the card I made using this charm as my inspiration....

I used DP from "The Write Stuff" - this is Ruby Red in color; of course, my old standby of Old Olive CS; the Elegant Bouquet Embossing folder. I embossed the CS and then used the bleach technique on it. The sentiment is from the Friendly Words Wheel - which I cut apart to give me lots of versatility!

Here is the inside! I will write a note of thanks here - a friend is bringing us some homemade beans this afternoon ... she made a double batch of the best beans in the world - as far as I'm concerned! Thanks, Janet! :0

And here is my "humility square" - see the ink at the top of the card front? I still had my ink pad open when I opened the card and voila! there's ink on the front... so - I must confess that I'm not as perfect as everyone thinks I am! ha ha ha ha ha! :)

I hope you enjoyed your visit here today!

Blessings on yah!

Also - Sale-a-Bration starts on January 5 and runs til March 31 - spend $65.00 and earn a free SAB product of your choice.... and the choices have expanded too! Wait till you see what is available!

Give me a call to book a workshop in January or February.

And don't forget - I have Gift Cerificates available - so put a little 'bee' in Hubby's ear and have him call me for a gift certificate that you can use in the New Year! Sounds like a great Christmas present to me!!!

Hope you're enjoying this Saturday!
