My Card

Okay so I am 2 days late......
I have been getting ready for a craft fair this weekend!
So you know I love Blog Surfing....and I lOVE Dawn Mcveys BLOG!!
Dawn is a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator too!
I love how her cards are so elegant yet simple.
I have been meaning to case her cards for a while now so I DID!!
If you get a chance visit her BLOG!
Card recipe
Stamp set: None, I used rub on's from SAB last February
Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, DSPaper Apple Cider(retired)
Ink: None
Accessories: Brown satin ribbon, Crop a Dile
On a Personal Note...
I am feeling much better! YEAH!!
On Sunday my wonderful husband Jason helped me clean and organize
our house. You see our house has 2 floors and it's been a while since we have lived in
a house this big, so I get a little over whelmed. Jason watched the Falcons game, made chili
and then we went to work! We rearranged the kids rooms and moved their computer into the hallway upstairs. Now they won't fight over who is in Mac's room!
I have so much energy and am happy! Now I can Stamp and Craft all I want...
Oh and he also put up my New decor elements.
It says Create and it's above my Craft Desk, I'll post a picture soon.
Have a Happy Stamping Day....

Popping Chalks...

Look at these cute cards I made using my versa mark ink pad and my chalks!!
My kids are Fall Break this week so I have been busy with
them and my brother came to visit. It was his daughter Erianna's 1st Birthday!!
I have been having some health problems and think I might be starting an MS Attack.
I am so tired, shaky and weak tonight so I am off to bed.
Hope you enjoy my creations....
&
Happy Stamping......
