For a Sweet Friend

Hi, all!  Well, I have good and bad news.  In case you didn't know yet, Jenny over at the Great Impressions blog has stepped down as DT coordinator. :(  We are going to miss her so much, she's been there ever since the blog began!  To say goodbye, we've all made her a special card.  We love you, Jenny!!! :)

Here's the card I made for her~

The good news for me is that I have been asked to take Jenny's place!  I am so excited for this new journey and I hope to do a good job!  I hope that you'll all join me at the blog and that you'll take some of your holiday cash and grab some of the fabulous stamps offered by this wonderful company!

On another note, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!  I hope you take some time today to create something NEW for the NEW year!!!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!

Under the wire!

Yes, that says "Under the wire!," NOT under wire.  Just making sure you know I'm not getting fresh! ;)  Anyway, I am totally under the wire which is the reason for this crazy late/early post from me!  Insomnia is my friend this week and so I've had lots of time to make cards and I finished a couple tonight.  One right under wire.  I mean under THE wire. ;)

Here it is~

Craft-Dee Bowz: Anything Goes with Handmade Bow

I've used patterned papers by Recollections (polka dots) and Papertrey Ink (floral/polka dot), a sentiment by Inspired By Stamping, cherry embellies by Jolee's, twine from my stash, a glitter gel pen by Sakura, liquid pearls by Ranger, and all other supplies are by Stampin' Up!.  The bow was the hardest part--trying to get that twine to stay where I wanted it and turn into a bow was a pain in my under wire! ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card!  I had TONS of fun making it--this isn't my best style and so practice will eventually make perfect I hope!  Please join the fun with these amazing challenges friends!  HUGS and happy stamping!
