Butterfly Postage

Happy Thursday everyone.  Sorry I've been absent for a few days, but this week has been very busy at work.  And my DH has been sick, so I have been playing nurse maid too.  But tomorrow is Friday, and then maybe I can play up in my stamp room for a little while on Saturday.  Then on Sunday we're having a Cricut Roundup at the local scrapbook store, so that will be fun.

And today is Winnie's 4th birthday.  Unfortunately, she won't have a party this year.  She says that's OK.  She has a couple of packages to open after her daddy get home from work.  LOL

Here's the deets on my card today.

Stamps:  Nature's Postage by Mark's Finest Papers
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, yellow, lavendar
Ink:  Palette Noir
Misc:  copics, ribbon, butterfly charm

Happy Stamping!

"Bee Well" Get Well card

I CASED this card for the Featutred Stamper challenge on Sunday over on SCS.  I thought the bees were just so cute and the sentiment is perfect.  The stamp set is called "Happy Pansies" from Mark's Finest Papers.  I colored the bees with yellow copic markers and put stickles on the wings to make them sparkle.  This card was a lot of fun to make, and really didn't take a lot of time to complete.

Stamps:  Happy Pansies by MFP

Paper:  Outright Lemon & Snow Storm Smooth by MFP, black

Ink:  Palette Charcoal

Misc:  stickles, charm, ribbon

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's day yesterday.  I got pink roses and 3 cards from my DH.  Well one card was from him, one from Winnifred and the other from Geordi the cat.  I had a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping!
