I'm getting very sleepy.........

Good morning, Well, today is a very mellow day for many reasons......It is supposed to be upwards of 90 degrees in town today. I do not enjoy the cold, but to be honest....I'm not much of a hot weather person either. I am the person that sits in the chair in the living room and lets the industrial size swamp cooler "Swamp" me with arctic air while I curl up in a cozy soft throw and watch some TV. I am not motivated to move, because it is cold outside that blanket! And if I turn it off it just gets HOT! Okay back to the reasons. I am exhausted!!! I did nothing super strenuous yesterday and I got a full nights sleep, but I just can't shake the tired feeling. I could literally fall asleep at my desk today. As a matter of fact I am typing this sentence with my eyes closed right now! Finally, I had a lump removed from my left breast yesterday and so I am a tad sore and my exercise for the day consists of going to and from the freezer to change out ice packs! So needless to say, I am going to share a small card with you that was done previously. This card is tittled "Happy Garden" and has very little stamping on it. Just a bit from a Stampin Up set the sentiments were actually cut from a pattern paper that is velum and they were placed over white card stock to make them stand out. The flowers came in a little set purchased at Achievers and the matching corduroy brads make the best centers. Just a little bit of Happiness for a mellow day. Enjoy!

Be Yourself

Hello, So today's card features a sentiment that says, "Be yourself...Everyone else is taken." How fabulous is that??? I think it is just the thing for a pick me up type of day! I think I need one of those today. I don't know why, but I can't shake the "blue" feeling that has come over me. So today, I am just going to concentrate on qualities that make me..... well, ME!
This card was done at the May class for Close to My Heart. We used the Stamp of the Month - Be Yourself. All products are Close to My Heart. Paper's are Smokey Plum, Olive, and Vanilla Cream. Inks are Smokey Plum and Hollyhock (I think). This is a fabulous set and the sentiments included help to portray positive thinking and believing in yourself. I love it and I can't wait until mine comes so I can play!!!!Enjoy

Mother's Day

Well, I am just a tad late with this post, but I have not had access to a computer for the last few days. Mom did get to see this wonderful card and I talked to her on Mother's Day, so at least that got done on time!!! I also found out that my good friend gave birth yesterday evening to her beautiful daughter! Congratulations to her and her husband. So to honor Mother's everywhere, here is a card that I did for my mother. Again I don't know the exact colors or papers I used, but all the supplies were purchased at the LSS (Local Scrapbook Store) except for the Chocolate Chip card stock from Stamping UP! The DP was a whole set of these "seed packet" looking things and I loved this one for mom! Sweet Simple and too the point! I love you Mom!
