Cards I Made Today!!!

No Catalog Today..ARGGGGG..............

I waited for UPS (BROWN) but he did not stop at my house! I found out how to track the catalog and it say's they will be here Wednesday, so I will be STALKING the MAILMAN for my catalog until then!!! So I have been busy with the kids and it's been so HOT, so after the POOL today (while the kids were napping) I made 3 CARDS!!! I did not like the NEW IN-COLORS at first (because COOL CARIBBEAN is my FAVORITE) but I am starting to really like the NEW IN-COLORS!!! I think SKY will be my NEW FAVORITE!!! I just love the color combo's I came up with for these cards!!!
