Hi stamping friends, I am sitting home today with ice on my knee from working in my garden last night digging up weeds. I caught my foot into a little hole and got turned and it stretched my knee. OUCH! I used my shovel as a crutch as I could hardly walk back to my house. I came in and put ice on it but it is still swollen and sore. I knew I wouldn't be able to be on it all day so I didn't go to work.
I wanted to share with you this card I made for my Mom for Mother's day. I just love it. What, am I showing you a new die? No, it isn't a new die or a new punch in fact it is an old old die which is the Top Note Die and I put it through the die to cut out the top note and then turned it one direction matching up the points and then after putting it through the Big Shot I turned it again and I came up with this darling shape. Don't you just love it? Okay, I will confess it wasn't my idea. I got the idea from Kim Van Diepen. On this card I used the darling darling set Herb Expressions that I will never part with because it is one of my favorite sets and it has inside verses for cards plus beautiful flower bouquets. I will show you another card I made with it later. I textured the Clear Circle Die with the Manhattan Flower Texture Folder and then used my markers to color in the bouquet. It turned out so pretty and just what I wanted for my wonderful Mom. These were colors from the Color Coach. So beautiful I think. Don't you?

Hi stamping friends, I hope you're having a great day. I have been busy ever since I got home from church today. I decided to get all my boxes unpacked today so did that and put stuff away and then cleaned up a bit. I decided to make my boss a card to congratulate him on his new job. He is a great hardware guy and going to the school to be a janitor so I thought this set was a good suit for him. It was super easy and it was all I was in the mood for today so I apologize I am not giving you any special technique. The best wishes comes from a set that is going to be discontinued.
It was nice and sunny but it is clouding up now. Windy too. My lawn mowing guy is here mowing for me today. He can do this acreage faster than I can so I thought I would call him to mow for me this time. A lot of things going on this week with tomorrow being the last day to order out of the Occasions Mini so if there is something you need make sure you contact me to place your order. I haven't been told what will carryover yet so if you want something you better not hesitate. We get to see some new sneak peak items and I can't wait. I wonder if you are getting excited for the new catalog too?

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you had time to create something cute this weekend.
Happy Stamping! Hugs, Bev
