What a LONG night!!!

Sorry, nothing to post today except to tell you about my wonderfully exciting night! We had dinner, which was SO good! They spoiled us so much with some champagne and too many desserts (which we took home almost all of) and a wonderful steak dinner....yummy! On our way home hubby started to have terrible stomach pains that would not go away and shortly after we got home he started to get sick from the pain. So after about 2 hours of this (some of that was waiting to hear back from the nurse), I could not handle much more and took him to the ER where we stayed until 3am! The Doctor we saw did an ultrasound and believes hubby has gallstones (which we saw at least 4 of on the ultrasound) and should have his gallbladder removed. So, today we have been trying to catch up on the much needed sleep and waiting to hear what our Dr. wants us to do, we assume another ultrasound or maybe an mri or something like that is in order and then who knows!

Thanks for the sweet comments for my DD and her card, she really loved reading them!!!

Happy Anniversary Chris

Today is my 12 year anniversary and this is the card my youngest made for my hubby and I. I think it is a beautiful card and it is so very special because I saw how much she enjoyed making it! She asked as she was making it if I would put it up on my blog and of course I had to say yes!!! I did make a card for my hubby, but I can't put it up yet :)

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday, we are getting ready to go to dinner at the Capital Grille in LoDo.

2 Sketches 4 You

Here is my card (even a day earlier than usual) for Laura's great sketch! I am having so much fun using up some of my scraps :) These are not normal colors for me to put together, but in the end it worked out great!

I used cardstock and chipboard flowers from SU!, eyelets and sticker from Eye-Let's Etc, misc. ribbon and my souffle pens in white and purple on and around the flower.

Thanks for checking in today, I am trying to work on things to post here while I work on my DT stuff for ELE. Jen H. and I get to come up with the first challenge, so make sure you look for it on the ELE site the middle of August! There are also a few other things to look for starting August 1st, so keep checking in here and at the ELE blog.

Heidi Grace card

This is a card I made a few days ago and I have to say that I LOVE the way it turned out!!! The colors go together so much better IRL, such a pretty card. The main image is a rub on by Heidi Grace and I got it at Archivers a few weeks ago. I used my nesties for the white and blue layers (LOVE those nesties!!!)

I have decided that this is really my style, and I love it! I am not one who can make tons of layers and different patterns work for me....this is me and my style! Let me know what type of style you are, I am very curious to see if there are a lot like me or just a few. Thanks for all of your comments, they always bring a smile to my face :)

Paper Askew Inspiration Challenge

I finally am getting back into finishing cards in time for the challenges!! This is one I made for the beautiful inspiration picture at Paper Askew. I am still not sure I love how it turned out, even though it was what I was planning on doing.....oh well, I am sure it will grow on me. You can't see it very well, but on the side it says "grateful".

The majority of the card is from my scrap bin, slowly chipping away at that pile:) I did use some silver triangle eyelets from Eye-Let's Etc. for the ribbon to thread through for the lattice effect (at least that was my intention) I am having a lot of fun incorporating all of the fun different types into my projects, keep checking back to see what else I can do with them :)

Hope you all have a great day and maybe I will get some more pages posted soon!!!

Kazan's Sketch

Here is the card I made for this weeks sketch, I really love how it turned out. It does not follow the sketch exactly, but it is only a starting point!!! The papers are all SU! and I got this ribbon and the flower sticker at the top at Michaels in the $1 bins. Not sure if you can see my little snail along the buttons, but he is there, he is one of the many designs of eyelets you can get from eye-lets etc.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend, we are gearing up for another pool party tomorrow. Let's hope I can create a little bit more before I have to clean up my area for the guests ;)
