SC390 and a Sparks card!

Hello! Long time no blog:) We were in Virginia Beach for a week and got back on Saturday, and my mojo has been in hiding! HOWEVER, I went over to Kim's house yesterday and we stamped the day away! I told her she's good for my mojo, haha! I got three cards made while I was there which is really odd for me. If I'm cropping with friends I never get anything done! I'll have those cards up throughout the rest of the week.

I had all afternoon to play with my new Paper Smooches stamps (I got to shop IN the Paper Smooches store, how awesome is that? Talk about jaw dropping!) I got a card made for this weeks sketch challenge on SCS and also the Paper Smooches Spark challenge for the week! 

First up is my SCS Sketch Challenge card, using Paper Smooch "Summer Groves"
How adorable are these stamps??? I though this the perfect card for today, being the FIRST day of summer! (Arizona didn't get the message, because it's been summer here for like a month, haha)

Here's the sketch:

I stamped the big, billowy tree once on patterned paper and again on Chocolate Chip cardstock and cut the pieces out. This tree would be so fun to stamp on several different pieces of pp and make a very pattern-y tree:) When I stamped the sentiment, I didn't think it would be that big (but OH how I love big sentiments:), so I had to stamped it on the oval piece too, I think it adds a fun little detail. The fence, bird, clouds, and sentiment also come from the Summer Groves stamp set. There is also a Spring Groves set, and I can't wait for the fall and winter sets! I seriously love tree stamps. Seriously. Oh, and Kim's handwriting!:) I'm telling you, this is going to be a new obsession of mine, I need all the PS stamps!

Next up is my card for this week's Sparks challenge!
Display our button

 This week is a "Cool Shades" challenge and here are the colors for the week!

Here's my card using Geo-Graphic and Giddy Bugs

This card turned out MUCH differently than I had planned! I was going for a clean, graphic card, but once I decided on this sentiment with the chevrons, I wanted to add the lighting bug and buttons! I also cut out some vellum wings for the bug, it's so cute IRL! I also drew the antennae on. The colors I used are Rhubarb, Gray, Silver Lilac (Memento), Harvest Gold (PTI). I think they're pretty close to the challenge colors anyway, haha!

Well that's all I have today, I'll be back tomorrow!

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #123-Tag Time

Hey there! I had a WONDERFUL Saturday fill with Kraftiness, how about you? I made a ton of cards today, but some are for future deadlines, so I'll be posting then eventually, lol! I did make a couple cards just for fun! Including this one for this week's Kraftin' Kimmie challenge, to use a TAG!

This is Lulu from Lulu & Friends! How ADORABLE is she? Look at those knobby knees! SO cute:) I used last weeks' sketch from SCS (#378) for the layout, and stamped a sentiment on a circle punch that I turned into a tag!

I colored Lulu with Copics to match this paper from October Afternoon (Report Card). I did the out of the box technique to cut her out with a rectangle die, while keeping the umbrella out of the die. I really LOVE this card and this stamp set!

It's a Papertrey Kinda Day!

I have a couple PTI cards to share today! I buy the stamp sets, every month, religiously, since the beginning, but haven't had the chance to sit down and play with them much lately! This week I am determined because these are some of my very favorite stamps! First up is this fun card for today's Color Challenge on SCS! The color challenge is Real Red, Pink Pirouette, and Pear Pizazz. The color combo made me think of this fun Christmas paper from last year called Jolly by Golly by Cosmo!
I used the cute snowman from Holiday Button Bits! I realize he looks a bit crooked on the card, I may have mounted the circle a little cockeyed, dangit!  You know what else? I'm super proud because I finally used some FLOWER SOFT! I've had this white Flower Soft for ages and never use it! I thought it would make good "snow" and I think I'm right:) 
The snowflakes are from my new Snowflake Die-namics by MFT! These are SUPER intricate and beautiful snowflakes, totally love them!
OH and how could I forget the sentiment? The dessert option is handwriting! Well, I happen to have Dawn McVey's LOVELY handwriting in the form of her PTI stamps! This one is from Signature Christmas, don't you love it?

Okay, next card up uses the fabulous Vintage Picnic!
I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch for the layout!
So a couple peeps over at the PTI forums have a challenge going where they choose three stamp sets and you just make a card with one of the stamp sets! This is such a fabulous idea because it really gets you USING the stamps you buy, kwim? So in the spirit of the fall season, I stamped the pumpkins in the basket! I also used some older SU! paper called Autumn Vine (I think?)

Well that's all I have today! Thanks *SO* much for stopping by today:) Have a FAB day!

SC300-Celebrate!

There is REASON to celebrate on Splitcoast this week! It's the 300th sketch challenge in the Sketches Forum! Wow, 300 sketches is ALOT of inspiration! I know I adore these sketches, Roxie and her pals do a great job coming up with sketches every week! This week, there are tons of PRIZES to be won just by playing along! See THIS THREAD for deets!
Sorry about the horrible picture, my camera does not love me today!
Here's my submission using "Make a Wish" by Taylored Expressions! I just love this set! The best part is, Taylor is donating money from each set sold to a children's charity. 
So I've seen the DT and Taylor herself whipping up amazing cards with this awesome cake and it just made me want it so bad! So guess what came in my mailbox today?:)
The dp is from Pixie-licious by Cosmo and the cardstock (Ripe Avacado, Plum Pudding, Lavendar Moon) is all by PTI.

Thanks for stopping by today! Come on back tomorrow for my Farm Fresh Friday project!!

IC250-Terracotta Flowers

Hi there, remember me? I'm Amber! And I've been BAAAAD about updating my blog the past couple weeks, SO SORRY! I have alot of stuff going on at work with getting out of the Air Force, outprocessing, med appts, school, etc...it all piled on at once and didn't leave me much time or mojo for stamping! But I got in my stamp room tonite and didn't come out till I put something together, lol! 

I was looking at the Inspiration Challenge this week on Splitcoast and fell in LOVE with this picture:
I really want that orange bag, and the green one! And the blue one! LOL! As soon as I saw this picture, I really wanted to create a card with a new set by Verve called Dream Big! 

I stamped the flowers from Dream Big in Versamark ink and embossed with white powder. All 3 layers are popped up on dimensionals for some fun! I added some buttons to the flower centers and a couple rows of silver pearls for some bling!

I'll be back tomorrow with a Mojo card! I got one started but I'll have to finish it tomorrow, this girl is TIRED!:)

Color Combo/Sketch Challenge

Today I have a card I created for Yesterday's Color Challenge and Today's Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast! The colors are GORGEOUS together and the sketch is just plain FUN! And what's more, my girl Christy found it for us!! Great find my girl, totally fun sketch!
Here's my card using Always on my Mind by Verve!
I adore these colors together! Baja Breeze, Rich Razzleberry, and So Saffron! The dessert was to use grids, which was perfect cause there is this grid pattern in the Rich Razzleberry dsp pack! 
The flower stamp is from Feel the Sun by Verve, a GORGEOUS flower if I do say so myself!
I added some machine stitching, Baja ribbon, and bunches of scallops to round the card out. Love this sentiment, don't you? Perfect for any occasion or just because:)

Thanks for visiting me today! Hope you have a wonderful day!

A bowl of Cherries...

Doesn't that sound yummy? I love me some cherries, especially the flathead cherries I used to get back home in Montana...mmmmmm! 

Well, the next best thing to Flathead Cherries is this month's Caffinated Cropper kit, With a Cherry On Top! Buy it HERE! I got mine in the mail today, and as promised, tore into it IMMEDIATELY! Seriously, wow. I am just speechless with all the goodies in this kit, you could may 100 cards with all the stuff in this kit!
The pink and floral paper is the same sheet of paper by Little Yellow Bicycle! LOVE this paper, I think I wanna hoard the rest, lmbo! The only thing on this card NOT in the kit is the card base and the Regal Rose ribbon! That beautiful stamp is so fun! It actually comes with a few more elements and it's all one big ole beautiful stamp but I cut it apart so I can use all the bits and pieces seperately if I want to:) I used to be TERRIFIED of cutting stamps up, but now I am hooked! You can get a lot more mileage out of a stamp set by cutting it apart and using the different images alone or with other images! After I tied my ribbon bow, I added some of the super fun flowers to the bow center, I love how it turned out! 
 
The buttons also come in the kit! Yeah, I adore buttons, can never have to many, EVER! Oh, the twine is from PTI...

If the layout looks familiar, it's this weeks sketch challenge on Splitcoast! Speaking of challenges, Amy has issued a challenge for you if you're interested! Just purchase a "With a Cherry on Top" kit, use it on a card for ANY challenge you find online (sketch challenges count!) and link it up to her post for your chance to WIN! Head on over to Amy's Blog to see the deets:)

Beautiful You

At last, my Verve card:)
I played in today's sketch challenge on SCS! This was a super fun sketch challenge, if you have time, head over to the thread and PLAY!
I wish the colors in my photo were better, but it's a little yellow:( Bad lighting, that's what I blame it on!
I pulled out Beautiful Kindness and Celebrating You by Verve for this sweet little card:) Aren't those butterflies fun? There is also a smaller butterfly in this set, which I started with, but they were much too small and it made this card really unbalanced. I'm very happy with how it turned out with the bigger butterflies (I used to call them birdieflys when I was a kid, how funny!) And I realize maybe the buttons are overkill? But ya know what, I love them and that's all that matters, lol! The sentiment (from Celebrating You) was cut out with my large oval punch (SU!) and layered on a fun tag die from spellbinders! I love how easily the ribbon slides through the flourishes:) The gorgeous paper is from Mellissa Frances, so dreamy and perfect!
Okay, that's it for me! Christy and Lee should be here in couple hours to pick up there pups so I gotta round all their stuff up:)
Have a fabby day, ya'll!

Color challenges galore!

I don't know what you did in your craft room today, but I was inspired to play in a couple color challenges!

First off, I have my eyes honed in on the PTI blog permanently these days, every day Nichole brings FANTASTIC sneak peeks of new products, stamps, and challenges! I am seriously so excited for the 15th (my credit card, not so much, lol!)! Today, Nichole announced new ventures by Heather Nichols and Dawn McVey! Oh, I'm totally ecstatic about these!
Along with the reveal, Nichole issued a fun color challenge! All of the PTI DT posted their personal favorite color combo and we were to choose one and create a card with it! I am a HUGE fan of Betsy's (well, I'm a huge fan of the whole DT, but time is a luxury, lol!) so I chose her color combo of Sweet Blush, Kraft, Aqua Mist, Pure Poppy! Here's my card:
I used alot of fun PTI stamps and papers on this card! The flourishes are from Fancy Flourishes, the hearts on the Sweet Blush cardstock are from Background Basics: Hearts, the sentiment is from Daily Designs Elements! The Aqua Mist patterened paper is from the Pretty Pastels pack. Fun right? I love this color combo! It's staying in my tool box;)
Next color challenge I participated in was today's CC from SCS! Betty chose Chocolate Chip, Dusty Durango, and Sage Shadow! This sounds a bit daunting at first, but the more you move the colors around on your card, the more you'll love them;)
My card base is Rustic Cream (oh how I love this color) and I stamped the floral stems from Life (PTI)in Dusty Durango and Mushroom. The main image is by Crafty Secrets, isn't it gorgeous? I bought a whole bunch of these and the cotton scraps and I can't wait to use them all up:) The sentiment is from Big and Bold Wishes by PTI:)
I'm so happy to be getting my PTI stamps inky lately, they're so beautiful and FUN! I know I promised Verve today, but my inspiration took me in another direction, and like a man, I didn't think anything of it, lmao! Oh that was mean!
Okay, I seriously need to pick up dog toy guts from all over my house! Christy's and my dogs have been having *WAY TOO MUCH FUN* together! I don't think there is a toy left in tact, lol! Whatever keeps them happy, there are alot more of them than me, I don't want them turning against me! HA!

Pretty Melon Blossoms!

Well, long time no blog:) I'm neck deep in work these days so it doesn't leave much time for crafting! We have our big hospital inspection next week (the one that accredits the clinic, if you are in the medical field, you feel my pain!) so we have been super busy at work making sure we're ready! I think we'll do fine, but it's still nerve wracking, I HATE inspections!
Okay, well I had to get crafty for a bit tonite, I miss it if I have to skip a day or two! My day just doesn't seem complete until I get a card made, ykwim?
Betty asked me to make a sample for today's Color Challenge on SCS and I happily accepted! Only problem: I miscalculated the time difference by 12 hours so I wasn't ready when the challenge went up, lmbo! I'm such a stooge sometimes! You'd think after living here for the past 2 years I'd be good at the time differences, but I'm really not. So, I'm terribly sorry to Betty that I wasn't ready when I said I would be! Maybe she'll give me another chance next week;)
I really LOVE the colors she chose this week! With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I'm lovin pink! The color challenge this week is Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, and Blush Blossom! Isn't that a gorgeous combo? The dessert (yes please!) is HEARTS! AND, if you want to add red to your card, it can ONLY be in the form of a heart! Fun stuff:)
My card base is Pretty in Pink cardstock, stamped with a background stamp from Background Basics: Flower Power by PTI! I stamped it in Pretty in Pink so it would leave just the slightest bit of a pattern. Next, I added my Blush Blossom piece, and layered some hearts on top! The sentiment stamp is by Verve, it's the "Be Mine Plain Jane, "totally fun stamp with a totally fun font! I also added a Hambly sheer frame, buttons, twill tape, a fun crystal pin, and a sticker from Heart Warming Vintage by Crafty Secrets!
I'm lovin' the shabby-ness of this card, SO much:)
I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch for the layout this week! She always has the FUNNEST sketches, I love them:)

Well thanks for popping by today, it makes my day when you stop by and visit:) See ya tomorrow with a sketch card {hopefully!}

***BLOG CANDY UPDATE!***
JO, you are the winner of the the Skipping Stones stamp set! Please email me (redfox123@hotmail.com) your mailing address! Thanks so much!***


Hello! Thanks for popping by my blog today:) I have been crankin out lots of DD and new Verve stamps (released this coming Friday!) cards this weekend but couldn't resist the chance to play in today's Featured Stamper challenge! I chose THIS card by Weebeestampin. I love the top note die by SU! and don't use it often enough so I used her card as my inspiration! The card base is Rustic Cream by PTI and that luscious paper is by Laura Ashley. It's FLOCKED! I got two yummy packages of this paper from Emma's Paperie. SO gorgeous!
I used a Grateful Elegance by Verve for the sentiment and the stamped background behind it. That butterfly is a sizzix die by SU! I painted it with Burlap crackle paint and then dumped some Martha Stewart chunky glitter on top. OH, the swirls behind the butterfly are from Express Yourself, also Verve. Here's a closer picture of the butterfly detail:
There is a little acrylic tag hanging from the bow, that's by Making Memories! I gotta tell you I've been channeling my shabby muse and it feels great:) Don't be surprised if you see alot more of this in the future!
Well that's it for today! I'll be back tomorrow with my Monday Challenge card! Hope the rest of your weekend is fantastic:)

VIVA LA VERVE!!!!!!!
This week's sketch challenge is the last for the year *insert sad face here* I figured everyone was going to be spending time with famil the last week of the year so it's an "off" week! SO, that means you have until Friday night, the 26th, to get all of your December Sketches in for the contest! See *THIS* thread for details!
Here's my sample for the sketch:
I'm starting to get worn out on the Christmas cards so I went with a pink card:)
I pulled out an old favorite "Hundred Hearts" (it's on SALE, too!!!) for the sentiment and stamped hearts. Don't you love that heart? The wonky shape is so fun, I think it's my favorite heart stamp:)
The colors I used are Rustic White, Scarlett Jewel, and Pink Pirouette! YUMMY color combo!
Hope you can play with us this week!

One more card I made today, and it's for today's Inspiration Challenge! Anne chose Fabulous Stationary as our Inspiration Site and it's CHOCK FULL of inspiration! I chose THIS card, because as soon as I saw it, the colors SCREAMED at me!
I used PTI's Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst, and Spring Moss! Fun color combo, right? I love how cheery it is! I also used "Turning a New Leaf" embossed in white! I layered some buttony flowers on top of the leaves and the sentiment is from Big and Bold Wishes!

Okay, hubby and I are getting ready to watch "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"! It's a favorite of mine, LOVE this movie!! Hope you have a terriffic weekend chickies! See ya tomorrow!

CC247-Very Black Suede!

Here's a color combo you're not going to see from me very often, lol! Not enough COLOR! I like me some bright, cheery colors, but I guess for a masculine bday card, these colors are perfect! The colors are Very Vanilla, Basic Black, and Soft Suede! My sweet daddy's bday is on Saturday *yeah, so there is NO way he's getting this on time!*
If you're looking at this and thinking "did she put a BOW on a masculine card?" Yes, yes I did:) I couldn't help it, that big ole' empty space called for one, lol! It's a manly bow though, it's black and has rustic jute:)
All stamps are by Verve! The big "DAD" and the word stamp below it are from the set "Protector". The background is a stamp from Bountiful Backgrounds.
I also stamped the inside:
These stamps on the inside are from PTI's Birthday Basics.
Okay, that's it for me today:) Hope you have a great Tuesday, friends!

Inspiration Challenge

Hey there! How is your weekend starting off? It's saturday night here in Oki and my honey and I just got done watching Star Trek, such a GREAT movie!



I have had all kinds of crafty time today! I made three cards, but only one I can share today! It's for today's SCS Inspiration Challenge. Stef chose the Aimoobaroo Etsy Shop for this week! I love this little store, so much eye candy! I instantly had an idea when I saw THIS set of buttons! Here's my card:
I know, the blue is so loud it almost hurts, lol! It didn't photograph very well, it's not quite that bright IRL, but it is bright;) The bright blue is Prism cardstock so it has a fun orange-peel texture! I stamped the background "Giving it all Meaning" by Unity on the hearts cut out with my heart nestabilities. The sentiment (Heart Prints sentiments) and flourish (Fancy Flourishes) are by PTI. I also used PTI ribbon and buttons! The cardstock base is True Black adn the dark blue is Enchanted Evening (both PTI).

Well I have more relaxing to do so I'll catch ya tomorrow! Have a great weekend friends:)

FS144-Chrisations.Ink

I did another SCS challenge! Yeah! I have been a scrapbooking FOOL this weekend and today made sure to make some time for a card!
I case'd THIS card by Christine. for today's Featured Stamper challenge. I loved the torn edge and had this idea using Crazy for Daisies instantly! Crazy for Daisies was last months KOM incentive kit by Unity. It's not currently available but will be released for sale soon! If you love this one, you should see the November KOM and incentive kit (free when you sign up for the KOM!)
The card base is Rustic White by PTI. I cut a small piece the embossed dots green cardstock (Bazzill) and glued it on top. Then I stamped the daisies on Rustic White and glued that and the Raspberry Fizz bittydots paper down. The ribbon is Ripe Avacado by PTI. To finish this card off I added a Raspberry Fizz and two Rustic Wood buttons by PTI.
So I've done FIVE double page layouts this weekend! Christy came over yesterday and made her Thanksgiving cards and I've been working on a friend's baby book! Only 4 more 2-page layouts till I'm done, yeah! I have tomorrow off of work so I plan on *hopefully* finishing that baby book! As I mentioned a few days ago, I got a Cricut Expressions for my bday *my honey is so thoughtful!* and yesterday I bought the SCAL V2.0 program and O.M.G. I am having so much fun downloading fonts/dingbats/svg files/ you name it! I can't seem to do anything with all the stuff I'm cutting yet, but I'm having fun, lol! If you have a Cricut and don't have SCAL, I HIGHLY recommend it, it's awesome! You dont' really need any more cartridges!
Okay, I'm watching a movie with my sweetie so I'll see ya tomorrow:) Have a great Sunday!

SCS Sketch Challenge Wednesday

I finally got a SCS sketch challenge card done! I've been meaning to do these for the past few weeks and something always comes up, and then I forget! NOT TODAY though! As soon as I saw todays sketch I knew I had to make time, I love layers and this sketch has some super fun ones!
Sketch found HERE...
Here's my card:
How about that bright green? I wasn't sure I'd like it but I think it works! It's New Leaf by PTI and all the dp is Early Bird by Cosmo Cricket! FUN stuff, it's the new Mini Deck they released this past CHA. The smaller scale size is PERFECT for card-makers, I'm crazy about it:)
I used Who's that E-Girl by MFT and paper-pieced the wallpaper and couch. I colored the skirt, shirt, and bottom of the couch with prismacolors/gamsol and then colored her skin with my Copics.

Well that's all I have for today, thanks for stopping by! I'll be here tomorrow with UNITY!!!

Fall is in the air...

Well, not really, at least here, lol! It's still hotter than, well you know.
I did get in the fall mood today though because the Monday Challenge Chicks' theme today is Thanksgiving/Fall cards! I have always been an earth-tone girl so I think that's why I love this season for making cards, lol! Right in my comfort zone! For my card, I used the pumpkin and sentiment from the September 2009 KOM "Go ahead, Wish" by Unity!
Isn't that pumpkin ADORABLE? I love it! I was really in the coloring mood this weekend so I colored a bunch of images with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol! I had so much fun, and it's rare that I find coloring fun, I'm just too lazy! I'm going to try to make more time for it though, it's really relaxing and some sort of good therapy or something:)
The paper I used is Apple Cider by SU! It's retired now, from last years mini I think.
Wanna see what the other chics have for you today?
AJ, Brookie, Jeanne, Jimmi, & Maren.


I did get another card done today (We didn't have to work today, yeah!) It's for yesterday's Featured Stamper Challenge on Splitcoast! Tankgrl has a really fab gallery and I decided to case THIS one. Isn't it beeeeUtiful?

Here's my card using Call Me by MFT. I love how she's slung over her chair chattin' on the phone, so cute:) I colored the image in with prismacolor pencils and gamsol. The paper is by PTI (Autumn Abundance).

Well that's it for me today, I'm going to chillax here next to hubby for the night, maybe read some more of my book. I'm so hooked on th JD Robb "In Death" series. I've been reading it off and on for a couple years and she just keeps coming out with more books! Eve Dalls is my hero:)

Have a great Monday, see ya tomorrow!

Masculine Sketch Challenge

Well good morning friends *if you're out there! It's been quiet in blog land lately!*
Today's Sketch Challenge on SCS is FANTASTIC and my Father-in-Law just happens to have a bday coming up! Go figure, the girl with boxes FULL OF CARDS can't find a masculine bday card *rolling eyes*. Oh well, gave me an excuse to stamp:D
I pulled out some of my favorite old Papertrey Ink stamp sets for this one!

Making the card:
1-create card base out of 5.5x8.5 piece of cardstock (scored at 4.25)
2-cut piece of Spring Moss cardstock 1/8" shorter on both sides
3-Cut piece of dp from Everyday Blessing pack by PTI to another 1/8" shorter and adhere to Spring Moss piece.
4-Cut piece of dp from Everyday Blessing pack by PTI to 2x5.25 and cut with Spellbinders Piercabilities.
5-Stamp sentiment from Birthday Basics on dp.
6-adhere ribbon (from MM pack) and add 3 Rustic Wood buttons by PTI, tied with Jute string.
7-Stamp tree from Father Knows Best in ripe avacado and trunk in Rich Cocoa by Momento. Cut piece out, off center, with Giga Scalloped Square punch
8-Mount scalloped quare on dimensionals onto a slightly larger piece of chocolate chip cardstock. 9-Add Spring Moss circle behind the square and adhere everything down!


That's it, pretty easy!
Would you like to see why you shouldn't let your husband write on the inside of your cherished artwork?
Oh NO HE DI'INT! He wrote so huge that it SPILLED onto the pretty part! AARGH! LOL! He calls me in and goes "Honey, you are going to have to remake this card, I ruined it!" Hahaha! What a sweet man, I love him and I love his personal touches on my card, hee! I'll be sending this one out, just as it is:)

Hope ya'll have a wonderful Wednesday, the weekend is RIGHT around the corner *as is HIP HOP!*

Folk Art Lovin!

Today, Kelly aka Schirmcat on SCS, was the Featured Stamper! Her gallery is awesome and I had fun browsing:) As soon as I saw THIS beauty, I knew it was the card I wanted to case! I automatically thought of all the fun folksy stamps in the July KOM, A Pocket Full of... by Unity.
The card base is Chocolate Chip and then I layered a piece of Rustic Cream by PTI. The fun gingham paper is from a kit by Sweet Shoppe Designs. I can't remember right now which one it was, but I'll link it up once I find it, lol! I scraped it up with my Heidi Swapp edge distressor and then stuck it down. The main stamped image and the "Love" sentiment are from the July KOM by Unity. I also HAD to add that yummalicious ribbon by Making Memories! Isn't it so gorgeous? Love that ribbon, MUST GET MORE!
Well folks, it's Sunday night here, that means tomorrow is Monday *ugh.* It's okay though, I am going to be SO busy at work so the day should ZOOOOOM by!
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend! See ya tomorrow with something *I don't know what, but something, lol!*
