I have such good friends...

Well, I just have to say that I have such good friends!  The BEST, in fact!  That includes all of YOU. ;)  I have a friend that lives down the street with her husband and three darling children.  Since we don't have children due to infertility issues, she lets us have her kids any time we want.  I know what you're thinking--she's getting the better end of the deal.  Nope.  She loves her kids.  They're great kids, actually!  She just knows that I love children and want them.  She's helping me have the opportunity to be a mother.  I appreciate that.

Another thing about her that I appreciate is that she just gave me some stamps that she's had for a few years because she has never used them and doesn't have room for them anymore.  3 of the 4 sets I already have so I'll pay it forward (maybe BLOG CANDY when I reach 300 followers?!) but the other one is a stamp set that I have LONGED for!!!  How awesome is that?!

The point?  Oh, right.  I used the set to make my card that I'm about to share with you!!!  It's from Stampin' Up! and it's called "Just Believe."  Like I said, I've wanted this set for a L O N G time!!!

Here's the card~

Details~




For these fabulous challenges~




Like I said, the floral stamp is from the "Just Believe" set by SU!.  Actually, everything on this card is by Stampin' Up! except the dry embossing folder with is by Sizzix.

Thanks for stopping by and indulging in my increase in personal information, lol!  I don't do it very often on this blog, but I do once in a while.  Hope that's cool. Please come and play along with these amazing challenges!  Happy stamping! :)

    I love the stamping over the embossing, Mynette. That's a great sketch from Addicted to Stamps and you've used it well to make a beautiful card.

    It's a beautiful take on the sketch and color combo! The image looks lovely on the embossed background! I don't have any kids either, but I'm so lucky to have 4 nephews, from the age of 4 to 17, and I get to borrow them from time to time too!

    How lovely to 'borrow' some children for a while. No matter how good they might be I'm sure that your friend appreciates the break, and you get some good times too :O)
    The card is fab by the way.
