Another Secret Garden Card

I loved this sketch when I saw it and now for the life of me cannot find it again to recognize who posted the original.  Also like the color combo posted on one of my favorite blog sites so I had to make this card:

For some reason my scanner always cuts off the little bit of edge, going to have to play and figure it out.

Going to be sending this card to some of the Feb BRAK birthdays. Watch your mailbox. Also make some kits for a spring card class in March. Trying to get ahead a little on a few cards for classes and swaps.

Sycamore Street Blooms

I am really loving the new products that have come out this spring and for Sale-A-Bration. Another sketch from TSOT http://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.com/. I love their sketches and design team's take on the sketch every week. Don't usually get them done until the weekend but today it is Monday and we do not have school so I do not work. YEAH. As I went to post this on TSOT I noticed Beth Mc used the same colors, style, and products I used. Great minds think alike I have always been told. Sorry

Stamp: Mixed Bunch (one of my all time favs)
Paper: Sycamore Street SAB Designer Series Paper, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Rich Razzleberry
Ink; Rich Razzleberry
Accesories: The new Vine SAB and Square Latice Embossing folders, Flower, Small Scallop Cirlce and Border Punches, SAB Sycamore Street Pool Party Button, Pool Party Baker's Twine, Glue Dots, Pearls

Lovely Weekend

We took a few days and went to our Worldmark Vacation site just a few miles away on the other side of Lake Couer D'Alene and had such a wonderful time. Another couple went with us who had never had the privildge to stay in them. Arrived Friday evening and packed everything in and then play a couple of card games and some Mexican Train dominoes. The next two days we ate nice large breakfasts, played lots of games - Settlers of Katan, Dabble, Quiddler, Shanghai Rummy, Five Crowns and maybe others. Then had a wonderful dinner and played more games.  In between these games we crocheted, did computer work and she even printed some pictures. My goal was to use the swimming pool and the exercise equipment some but that did not happen.  We had to leave our rooms and walk in the freezing cold and fog so we decided it was best to play more games.

Got home about noon today, unpacked and then I headed right to my scrap room as I wanted to make a couple more cards for my Stampin' Up class this coming Saturday. Below is the last card I came up with and it also was the sketch from TSOT http://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.com/. I am beginning to really like that blog and have done most of the sketches since the first of the year. You can also find this card at my blog on Splitcoaststampers: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/uploadphoto.php.

Happy Birthday to You

I made these cards for my daughter and her husband.  Their birthdays are only 1 week apart.  My daughter was born 35 years ago today and was the happiest day of my life when I now had a son and a daughter to hold and to love.  They have brought many things to my life to remember and cherish. Love them both a lot.
