Just a Shade Late

I don't know about you all, but I have a ton of scraps laying around. A serious ton! I hate it so I decided to try to make some cards using some of my scraps up. Here is what I came up with . I really {heart} this ribbon. It is kind of hard to tell but it is shimmery [is this a word???] and sparkly. I would take it in every color if I could get it. I have no idea what company or where I got it. I have had it for awhile and like looking at it. Thought I should use it though. Any way, this is an older SU stamp set. But I thought is was cute. Best yet, I needed to send a belated birthday card so I did actually send it, rather than hording it *smile*.

Later gators,

For a Special Friend

I made this card for a special friend. Well, she is really my mother's friend and I am good friends with her daughter and son. The "mom's" met at church when we were all toddlers and the rest is history. We would swim together in the summer, sled in the winter and created alot of traditions. Now that we kids are *cough* adults, we still get together, just not as often.

We live about 3 hours from one another, not so far away, but just far enough that with our own hectic lives it is hard to see each other on a whim.

Anyway, my mom's friend kindly let me and my family stay overnight with her so my husband and I could go to my 20 year class reunion...yes, 20 years. I can't believe it. This might have to be another post. Back to the card, she had a nice dinner ready for us when we arrived and even kept my two kids while we enjoyed the evening. It is kind of funny because her son was in my class, but he didn't even come.....everyone got a kick out of the story.

We had a great weekend, it was also my birthday, remembering great times!

Cool Summer Treat (WSC#45)

Aloha everyone! Yes, it is back to reality.

If you read my previous post, you know that I am havingproblems downloading my pictures. So, I had to scan my card and it doesn't really do it justice, if I do say so myself.

We had wonderfully warm breezy weather in Hawaii that made the coffee flavored ice cream tast sooo yummy. It made me think of one of my all time favorite SU stamp sets, which I used for this card. We returned to find the weather downright hot here at home!! It was so hot that it made me think of Summer which made me think of a favorite treat around our house...ice cream sundaes.

The stamp sets I used for this card is are oldies but goodies and two of my favorites. I scalloped the bottom edge of the front of the card with my scalloped scissors and placed a piece of SU very vanilla cardstock on the inside. The cherry is popped up. I did not include a sentiment for flexibility if I need a card on short notice.

Wish me luck tomorrow night and say a prayer that I can get these pictures from my camera to my computer tomorow night!!!
