Yippee!!! I'm Back!

Hello!! I am back!! We had an AMAZING vacation! Two weeks of just fun, fun, fun!

We spent our time in Georgia, Alabama and Florida and we enjoyed every minute of it! We spent most of the time being spoiled by our Georgia Grandmas, going to the beach, hanging pool side, and doing a lot of sight seeing!

I am so glad to be home! I had to go right back to work and between mounds of laundry I squeezed in a card!

I just loved this little bug from April Showers

Bug: April Showers

Paisley for the umbrella

Simply Charmed for the mushroom

Peachy Keen PK 754 critter faces
Faux stitching around the clouds

New Technique used: The rain drops are from cloud 9, they were pink!

I used a blue sharpie marker and colored over them! It worked perfect

and the ink does not smear off! Now they look like rain drops!

Thank You Cute Chick!

My bestie sent me a surprise in the mail! It was a set of Peachy Keen Stamps!! The Critter Faces!!

I was so excited! I called her to say Thanks so much and she asked me what one I was going to use first and I told her the cute chick face!

So I thought it would be fun to make her a thank you card using the cute chick face!

Isn't she so stinkin' cute!!

Did you notice the stitching?? I dusted off my little ProvoCraft So Crafty Mini sewing machine and stitched!! I should have used a different color thread but I was afraid if I changed it I wouldn't figure out how to re-thread it!
