No computer yet.....(very sad face here)

Thursday night in Missouri is blustery, cold, wet, and all in all, nasty! Although, knowing what I know now, choosing this terribly ugly night over that terribly ugly skunk, I would choose tonight's weather! lol....


I'm going to attempt to post two cards tonight.


The first is just a card that I made for a friend of ours that is having a birthday on Saturday. The stamps are Inkadinkado, that I purchased at O'Dear's. The ink is Tim Holtz's Distress Ink, Black Soot. Other than that, I used a cuttlebug embossing folder, a nestie, and a scrap of ribbon. Since I have been unable to 'blurf' and check out challenges, I am not entering this anyplace.




The next card was made for Heather's challenge over in the land of Oz! Again, I couldn't actually look for challenges this week, but this one came to my in box, so I followed it home! It's a sketch challenge... I used TAC's Wonder and Joy set, and some scraps from my paper bins that are also TAC. The sweet little gal's dress was paper pieced and I dotted the lace with my glitter pen.



Thanks for stopping by, and for continuing to leave such kind words, even though I can't return the favor! I promise that I will make it up to all of you! I will be SUCH a pest when I get a computer!!!

Hugs to all - see you soon!

Living Inspired...

I got the nicest blog candy on Saturday from Heather over at Oz-Somestamps. Here is what was in the box...


1. The cutest little 3 x 3 album to put together. Heather had included all of the instructions and pieces - I just had to put it together! It is so cute! (It's in a little shiny album, so I don't think it will photo well).


2. A Starburst Gel Pen, and I go through those like crazy!


3. A cute set of TAC stamps, with sentiments. Today's 'Living Inspired' is one of them!


A big thank you to Heather!


Today's challenge at 365 Cards was to use a masking technique. Since I usually do what I'm told, I created a card using a masking technique! (No time outs for me today!!!) I also used Heather's sketch (posted below) for the card. All stamps and DP are TAC.







Hope you have had a good day! I'm working on the order for 110 birth announcements this week, so will be very busy! If I don't get around to your blogs, I promise to make up for it somehow!


Good night all....sleep well!
