Color Combo Challenge

Week 2

I am feeling much better!

Today I have been working on My DTP Monthly Swap.

We are staying with Jason's mom till April 1st

when we move into our NEW house.

My color combo is Certainly Celery, Rose Red, Basic Black & Apricot Appeal

I also used DSPaper Cutie Pie!

I have been a little blue.....

I guess with the move from MN to GA finally caught

up with my body! I have been so run down, weak, shakey....

My MS is full force so I have been couch bound.

Hopefully this weekend I'll start feeling better

and can start posting Monday!!

Please be patient I will be back!!!!

Finally......We Made It To GA!!!!

We rolled into Atlanta this morning about 3:30am

Jason and I are so tired, we drove 15 hours yesterday.

My Van broke down in Wisconsin but we got it fixed ($200 later) and kept driving!!

We almost did not make it, we ran low on money (we weren't planning on the van breaking)

Gotta love Jason's mom & my dad for helping us out!

Let's just say it was a trip to be remembered & Scrapbooked!!

The weather has been great! It was 60 yesterday but 40 today!!

I think the cold air followed us.....errrggg

We unloaded the truck into my mother-in-laws garage!!

So much easier to unload then loading!!!

Now today we are off to find us a house!!

Jason starts work Tuesday, kids start school Monday and then it's time for me to SLEEP.....

just kidding......it's time to Create some cute cards!!!

So Monday I will start my daily challenges!!

Be sure to join me if you wish!!

Sorry no posting til next week.....

I am so busy moving boxes and wrapping up my business here in Minnesota!We are leaving Tuesday Morning. The kids last day was yesterday.

I am going to visit with my 89 year old grandma today.

Then we are having a "family" dinner at my mom's Sunday Night!

My sister Ashley and her boyfriend are coming for dinner!

I hate goodbye's.....

Good thing is that I am moving to a warm climate and my family

will want to visit me to get away from the cold!!!

Sorry to have to make all of you wait for more challenges!!

Thanks for being patient and visiting my BLOG!!!

That's the plan!! The kids, 2 dogs & 2 Guinea Pigs will be riding with me in our mini van.
Jason will be driving the moving truck. Gotta love road trips!!
Hopefully the kids will take turns riding with Jason.

Happy Stamping!!

Technique Wednesday-Week 1

Rock & Roll
Directions:
1) Tap stamp on light-colored ink pad.
2) Press edges of stamp in a rolling motion on darker ink pad, being careful not to ink the center of the stamp.
Tips:
1) Always use the lightest colored ink first to avoid getting dark ink on your light ink pad.
2) This technique works best when using a bold stamp image.

This is such a fun way to utilize your stamps. Sorry I am so late today. I had to pack up my brothers apartment. He left for D.C. yesterday. That's where we grew up, his dad is still there.

Hopefully Jacob will go into treatment for drugs. I just have to put Jacob in Gods hands. Please say a prayer for my brother, he's only 19. He's the baby and I'm the big sister! We are leaving for GA on Tuesday, so this week is so super busy!!

Happy Stamping
