My inspiration Card....

Here's my card! Sorry I'm so late and have not posted in a few days.

It was my Birthday, we spent the weekend swimming with the kids

and Maddy started summer school yesterday!

So it's been busy and HOT......

I don't want to complain about the heat but my Van has no AC

which REALLY SUCKS!!

I tell the kids to remember when it was -30 degrees in Minnesota

and then ask them where they would rather be.....

Here In GEORGIA!!!

I cased my card layout from Beate Johns over at Fresh & Fun

I'm sure you visit her blog as often as I do!!

Beate is an AWESOME STAMPER!!!

Go take a peek at her blog when you get a chance

today she has an inspiration challenge posted to her blog.

Sound like fun!!

Monday's Challenge

Casing a Card!

Today's card was cased from May's Cover of Stampin' Success.

This card was so easy to make. I used Sky Card Stock and DSPaper

Afternoon Tea. I stamped the swirl from "Priceless" Stamp set in Sky ink.

I also stamped Kind from "Baroque Motifs" Stamp Set in sky ink too.

I then used Die-Cut Blooms from the Occasions Mini Collection.

I love these die-cuts, they are so much fun! I hope they make it to the New

Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog!

I also used the Felt Flowers as an added bonus to this adorable card!

On a Personal Note:

I thought I would share with you why I have not posted in a week!

My daughter Madeline just graduated from the 5th grade

My son Mac had his 11th birthday yesterday June 1st

So we had a big Bar-b-Que with family & friends to celebrate yesterday!

Last week was there last week of school.....Yeah!!!

I can sleep in a little!!

My Birthday is on Friday June 6th.....

I'll be 34!! I am getting so old, funny thing is I don't feel 34.

I am going to post a challenge for my Birthday tonight

so you won't want to miss this Challenge....

there is also some Blog Candy involved!!!

Bali Breeze & Casing all in one....

This is the first time I have used Bali Breeze paper and I really LOVE it!!

I am a paper junky! My mom said when I was little

I would collect my neighbors Junk mail and

have brown grocery bags lined up in my room

and put all the junk mail in each bag!!

Crazy!!! I don't have a grocery bags anymore

now I have fancy "Paper Holders"!

and I don't collect the mail anymore!!

All my paper is now Stampin' up!

Anyways...

I cased this card from Dannie Designs

I loved how she used the Bali Breeze Paper!!

I changed a few things, go take a peek at her BLOG

Aren't BLOGS just the best thing ever??

I use to be a magazine junky too!!

not anymore....
