You Perk Me Up!

Hello, Hello!

It feels SO delightful to actually have an internet connection again.  We were without for 7 full days!

We are going to give ATT Uverse a try.  They are to install it on the 5th of July. Sure hope it's good...

Stamps: Stamping Bella 'Perk Me Up Peeps', DP: Gina K. Designs (Blue) and Bazzill (Red), Copic Markers, Kraft CS, Hammermill 100# CS, Colorbok Black CS, E.K. Success Scallop Punch, Perfect Layers Tools for beautiful border (see sidebar for details).

I just have a Sunday creation to share with you.  This is what I did after church :)

It's going to someone very special, along with some Starbuck Via Packages.

Hope they like it!

Happy Monday, dear friends - will be around to see you very soon!

Hugs and smiles,

Patti J.

Here's to You...

Greetings!

Yesterday was my day to post at ScrapTownLady, and I thought I'd share a sweet little sunbathing beauty with you!  Hope she brings you a smile!  I decided to put her on an easel card, as she needs to be 'on display', lol... just realized the photos are terrible!  Ugh...

I am STILL without internet, so please forgive me for not stopping by your blogs.  Thank goodness for a library within driving distance!

One of those days...

First off, I need to let you all know that we've been without internet since the storms took out the closest tower last Friday night!  So....if I haven't dropped by to see you, that's why.  I'm at my friend Shirley's house right now, borrowing her computer so that I can get some posts going.

Today's card is for the challenge at Impression Obsession.  The challenge is: Colors of Summer.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope to be up and running tomorrow or Thursday, but that's what I've said every day since Friday.  Sigh....

Hugs,
Patti J.

Let Freedom Ring...

Recently, a box arrived from ScrapTownLady.  With the 4th of July right around the corner, Cheryl included red, white, and blue yumminess!  I realized, as I looked through my own papers, that I had absolutely NO patriotic colored papers.  That being said, you can imagine the fun I've been having!  Here is what I created Tuesday afternoon...

A card was needed for a young lady with cancer.  I thought it would be fun to use a Pearl image, along with popped up trellis, grass, and clouds!  Supply list below.

This flag stamp is the prettiest I've seen.  Loved popping it up off the page!  Supply list below.

 

This card let the papers and stickers speak for themselves!  Yumminess, right?

  

Totally clean and simple!  One card base, two panels, one ribbon, one sticker.  Voila! FIVE minute card!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Be sure to head over to the ScrapTownLady store, to look at all of the wonderful things!  While you are out and about, we'd love for you to become a follower of the blog, as well!

I'm entering my Pearl card in the Color Throwdown Challenge!  It's my first time to enter a Color Throwdown Challenge :)   Here are their colors for this challenge:
