The "mother" of all problems!

Well, my computer's 'motherboard' has died. I'm on a borrowed machine for long enough to drop this note off to all of you. So...my most immediate job is to go shopping for a new computer. Hopefully, I can find something today. We'll see! If so, I'll be back by tomorrow. If not??? :(

In the meantime, check this out!!!

Beth Norman, at Sunflowers & Dragonflies has chosen me as reader of the week! How exciting! (And how ironically funny that I'm featured on a week that I can't read!!!) Thanks so much, Beth, for thinking of me! I love the Sunflowers and Dragonflies store! If you haven't checked it out, be sure to do so! You won't be disappointed!!!

Okay, gotta get off of this machine! Take care everyone! Hopefully, my next post will have the Nesties winner!

Bright and Warm!!!

What a wonderful day it is in Missouri today! The sun is shining, and I think it must be in the upper 40's again. Sheer delight! Don't forget to go here to leave a comment and have a chance to win my Nesties!

Above is a trio of cards for you today! I purchased the Sprin Florals kit from Gina K. Designs, and it came with a free card kit, by Jessica Fick! How exciting is that - I love, love, love FREE! This set comes with the following sentiments: Deepest Sorrow, Easter Blessings, With Gratitude, Birthday Wishes. I didn't know who I would be sending these to, so for now, I didn't add a sentiment. That will be added prior to mailing!

I am entering these cards here:

Sunflowers and Dragonflies: Use the Wisped Frame Technique that is featured in the February edition of the Technique Junkie newsletter. If you don't subscribe to this, you really should! It is a fabulous resource! Beth would love to have you participate in the challenge this week!

Other Lovelies: Since it's been an unseasonable and unreasonable winter, Suzanne wants us to brighten and/or warm our projects this week. Be sure to jump in and play in the challenge this week!

Lexi's Creations: Anything Goes - great challenge blog - give it a try this week!

I hope that these beautiful cards make you feel all warm and fuzzy! I wish I could take credit for them, but the credit goes entirely to Jessica! I simply, stamped, colored, and assembled what she designed!

Sunflowers and Dragonflies Sketch Challenge

I have a card to show you today (I got to 'play' while new carpet was being put in) that I made for the Sketch Challenge at Sunflowers and Dragonflies.

Beth always issues the most fun and creative challenges, and I don't get to participate as often as I would like to, so today was fun for me!

Be sure to check out her blog, AND the Sunflowers and Dragonflies store - they have some adorable stamps!

I have used a Sara Kay stamp that I got from Sunflowers and Dragonflies.

All coloring is done with Koh-I-Noor Pencils. Hope you like it!

I'm off to call the dentist - just broke off a tooth. UGH!

Have a super Monday!
