Rainy Days and Sundays…
February 3rd, 2008
It’s a rainy cold Southern California Sunday. What was I thinking when I scheduled a pedicure in February? My feet are freezing now, but I don’t want sock marks on my pretty pink polish! Curt is off buying wrapping paper for my birthday present so he’ll be set for tomorrow *grin*, so I thought I’d take a few minutes to blog. I almost completey forgot that I had not yet posted the card I made for my SAB swap. I always host swaps, but don’t often make cards for them. This time I had one spot left open and needed to just take the spot myself as time was ticking. Here’s my card using Friendship Blooms.
I wanted to incorporate the felt flowers from Flower Fusion and the tin full of flowers inspired my color combo of Old Olive, Pink Passion and Pumpkin Pie, along with River Rock as my neutral. I used the large flower image from the set to create a tone on tone background. A pretty simple straightforward card – very fun stamp set!
I’ll have lots of swap photos to share really soon. I just need to download and edit my pictures. So stay tuned for that. In the meantime if you’d like to check out the ones that have been uploaded so far to SCS galleries click here.
I noticed that Tuesday Morning will have several styles of OTT Lites on sale this week starting February 5th. If you don’t already have an OTT Lite on your stamp table you NEED one! They are well worth the money even at full price, but clearance prices are even better! So nice to see true colors. Oh and if you happen to be over 40 like me and experiencing dimished up close vision you’ll find the OTT Lite to be a God-send when working with small embellishments and coloring in detailed areas. If you have a Tuesday Morning store in your area head on over there this week and let me know what you come home with.
Thanks for stopping by. Happy Sunday.

Keep your socks off – enjoy the beautiful (((cold))) pink toes & pretend you’re in New Zealand, where it’s hot & sunny, and we’re wearing sandals! He He…

I just came across your blog. I know where have I been? Under a rock? No mountains of snow here is Michigan. And they say Michigan doesn’t have mountains. What do they know. lol I was a California born baby and have relatives in the Riverside area. I’ve been truly inspired by visiting your blog. Hope you had a happy birthday. I will be sure to check back often.
