Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!  I was busy in my craftroom!  Finished my project for Jillians blog hop on February 12, 2011 which I hope you will all show up to!

Today's layout is from the Scrappiest, Sketch 101 which I will be submitting to their challenge.  My pictures were taken at the cottage last July.  Every year we seem to have this little guy show up lookin to be feed.  He sometimes gets a little too close for comfort for me!

Thank You Card

Hi bloggy friends, it's finally Friday.  I treated myself and toke the day off and scheduled to have a massage!  Oh, I can't wait!

Todays card I will be submitting for a few challenges this past week.  Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge which was to create a project using Everyday Paper Dolls or Dress Up Cartridge and heat or dry emboss.  The other is over at Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday Challenge which was to create a project using the Sweethearts Cartrige.  I have done both!

My mother in law has been in hospital for the last couple of weeks and due to be discharged hopefully today.  She has been very happy with the overall care that she has received and wanted to show the doctors just how much she appreciates them by giving them a gift card for coffee.  Of course I volunteered to make the cards and I am so happy that I did.  They were alot of work but think they turned out terrific!  She asked that I make three of them.  Now I cannot take credit for the design of this card as I was truly inspired by ScrappinJen31 over on You Tube.  Thank you so much for the inspiration!  I really enjoy your work!

I used the Sweetheart Cartridge for the tag on the card.  Swiss dots and Square lattice embossing folders.  White gel pen, Bakers Twine, Stickles, Black Magic Glitter Mist, Chalk, Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set, Happy Lashes and Everyday Character Peachy Keen Stamps, Stormy Sky and Pummice Stone Distressing Ink.  Dolls were cut out from Everyday Paper Dolls using my gypsy at 3.47'.

I hope the docs enjoy them!

Seasons of Friendship

You would swear that I had girls living under my roof with all the pink that I have been using.  In fact I have 2 boys!!  This card could also be used for Valentines Day and the stamp set that I used is so versatile.

I used Stampin Up cardstock, Seasons of Friendship Stamp Set, Small Heart punch and the scalloped edge punch.  Until tomorrow!

Something Sweet

Sorry I didn't get anything posted yesterday the wweekend was a complete write off for me and I absolutely got nothing accomplished.  Today's card I certainly cannot take credit for.  My upline from Stampin Up sent it to me sometime ago and thought that is was perfect Valentines.  This card can also be reproduced using the Sweetheart catridge as it also has a cut of a bubble gum machine.
This card was used with all stampin up products-the top note die, satin ribbon, cardstock, PP and Something Sweet Stamp Set.

Tootles,

Wendy
