Update # 2

Well .... it's PHOENIX, Arizona!!!! Yay! I am suuuuper excited. I love warm weather and this will be perfect for my family. No need to learn how to drive in the snow - lol. Now I just need to work out extra hard - bikini weather 365 days/year!

On another note ... sorry, still no card - I've been slammed this week with bunch of personal stuff, stress, etc. - but I will try to get some done soon (PROMISE!!!), besides I should make about 10 that I need ASAP, few thank yous and birthdays and baby cards. Just need few more hours in my day - or no sleep...

I hope everyone is having as great week as I am!

Can't stop smiling :)

Update

Well, I don't want you to think I fell of the Earth.... lol. We are patiently waiting, well, skip the patiently, for our match day. I am stressed out of my mind! We'll find out on Monday if we've "matched" and Thursday where we "matched". I can't sleep, so I am cranky, my mojo has left the house. Sorry ladies. However, I've been catching up on my Project Life (while waiting in the carpool lane for my daughter). I have also designed few things on Photoshop, been thinking about few things - like preparing few tutorials, making few different things for my Etsy (right now completely empty), etc. My brain is on overload.

So that's why I have my PJs on and I am ready to head for snoozers ... wish me sleep :)

Have a fabulous day/evening!

Hugs,

Card no. 94 - Sweet Lily of the Valley Card

Happy Saturday! For many this is the weekend! For me nothing changes - lol - stay at home mom. :) We also had absolutely crazy week - not busy, but just looong - I've been sick & the kids were eeeextremely whiny (oh, my goodness! that's one thing - and few more lol - that can drive me totally crazy). Anyways, my hubby has to work this weekend (AGAIN!). When I ask if he could stay home he says: "Flu doesn't know weekend, people get sick on the weekend .." and off he goes ... *sigh*

Anywhoo, it's almost midnight - by the time I finish this post it will be past midnight - and I just finished this little baby. Papers are Bazzill Basics & S.E.I. Image is lovely Lily of the Valley stamp and (of course) colored with my ProMarkers & Copics, added a bit of bling with Star Dust Stickles. Gorgeous rosy ribbon is American Crafts (oh, my - love them all) & flowers are from 7kidscollegefund.com - they were white, I just sprayed them with Tattered Angel's Glimmer Mist in Daisy Yellow. Rhinestones are from JoAnn. The finished card was "glimmered up" with Glimmer Mist in Iridescent Gold. I also used Martha's not-so-new-now Cherish Hearts Border punch.

Hope you're having a great day & happy Sunday!

Card no. 93 - Oh, darn it! Just missed it ...

Just realized that I missed Just Magnolia challenge this week - oh, well .... The layout by Mina was fabulous, so I've got at least a great practice ... lol.

I used Bazzill Basics Paper & American Crafts (City Park) Paper. So cute & bold. The lacy border is made with border punch by EK Success. Ribbon is from JoAnn. Flowers are Prima. Lovely Birthday Tilda is from the new So Special Collection (colored with Copics & ProMarkers).

Card no. 92 - Still feeling the L♡VE (... and will for a while)

He he ... this one is one of the "projects" I mentioned previously. Was working on it, but didn't finish until few days ago. It's for my husband's sweet Aunt Judy & Uncle Tom - truly the sweetest people on Earth!

I used my FAVORITE papers of all time (so far) - Making Memories - Je t'adore collection. Soooo gorgeous! I also used my "new" Tim Holtz's Rosette die - aaaaah, simply the best time-saver EVER! (Can you tell I am excited? LoL)

Also, the image is super sweet Tilda from the new So Special Collection. Such joy to color her (with my ProMarkers & Copics). As embellishments I used Rosy Ribbon by American Craft, Pearls from Michaels (Recollections? - I think) & Doily heart from JoAnn. I used Spellbinder's Labels no. Ten, Martha Stewart's new Cherish Hearts Border Punch.

The idea of this "book"card came from fabulous Tina's Blog (as Tina46) ... Her blog is so inspirational and absolutely fantastic!
