I paper pieced the purses on this one and colored the flower with my marker to give it a deeper color.
I went for my first motorcycle ride of the season last night. Baby brother stopped by on his Harley. It was good to get out of the house for a couple of hours. I don't go back to work until next week and I'm going stir crazy! I've only been out of the house this past month for church, doctor appointments and my son's graduation.
And this is what it looks like opened. Once again, the photo loaded sideways
Blessings!
Here's a picture of my eldest taken on Saturday after he graduated from SUNY Fredonia. And the pretty girl with him is his girlfriend, Amber. She graduated from University of Buffalo Saturday morning. Yes, I am a proud mama!
It's all about the bling baby!
Time for a nap,
Gotta love these guys,( and gals).
Info behind the comment in the photo below: When a bridge gets inspected, sometimes the inspectors find issues with the bridge that need to be repaired. When that happens, it gets flagged. Then the paperwork starts and the owner of the bridge is responsible for repairing what casued the inspector to issue the flag. An engineer with a professional engineer's license is required to inspect the repair and certify that it is acceptable. Engineers..... what a crazy bunch!
Another comment from a friend.
Of course when my husband saw this card, he said the gang at work knew they couldn't get away with sending me a store bought card. 
I did a bit of an experiment on this one. I embossed the leaves on the cardstock and then colored them with a versamarker. Then I embossed it again with the flowers. I think it looks kind of cool.
That's all for now.
This one Uses SU very vanilla, baha breeze, kraft, and Manchester DP. I also used a linen BG stamp.
This is the same as above except I used always artichoke and the iage is colored with copics.
Well, time for a nap.
I colored the images for these cards yesterday. I wanted to make cards with them yesterday, but I misplaced the pattern paper. It was a free download from Gina K. It's called Jersey Shore and is so versatile.
Ok. back to the card making.
This will be a short post as far as typing goes. For whatever reason, The images on my laptop are coming up upside down. That's right, upside down. The only thing I can think that caused it was that I moved it into the dining room earlier and was holding it somewhat upside down while it was still on. It's not easy moving about with crutches and carrying a laptop. Hopefully Andy won't be too terribly upset when he gets home.
The paper for this card is mellow moss, elegant eggplant, barely banana, almost amethyst, whisper white. I did use my copics on this one. It's hard to see in the photo, but I used 3 different colors for the blossoms. The image and sentiment is from Gina K's Wreath of Wishes.
This last card uses SU's parisian breeze, kraft and chocolate chip paper. botanical blooms stamps and PTI's handwritten notes for the sentiment. SU sahara sand and chocolate chip markers. I also used EK susccess' new flat edge punch and my spritzer tool.
So I'm back on the couch and I think it's nap time.
And here are my birthday and get well goodies. The flowers on the left and the big pink card are from my sister. The copic markers are from my hubby. The other flowers are from my church family, and the card in the middle is from my friend Deby. I'll post a close up of it later when I have better light.
Blessings!
