Get Well Soon!

Hi Everyone!!

I can't believe how long it has been since I've been able to post!  We were away on vacation and got evacuated with the hurricane.  We got home just in time for the hurricane to hit.  Our town was flooded in so many areas we could not drive anywhere.  So many stores were closed - including Michaels!!  Just when things were getting somewhat back to normal, we got so much rain all the rivers and lakes in our town overflowed again.  It's just awful.  We've got over 500 people out of their homes!  How are all of you?  Were any of you affected by the hurricane and flooding?   I hope you are all safe and sound!

We are trying hard to get back to normal.  I thought I'd post a little card  I made for my Dad.  I used Create a Critter and the sentiment is computer generated.  I was inspired by a card that Momo had on her blog a while back.  I thought it was appropriate with all this rain we've been having. . .

I am also submitting this for the Bugs, Beasts or Birds challenge at Shopping Our Stash! Check out their blog - there are so many terrific submission on this challenge!

I have missed all of you my wonderful blog friends!  I am glad to be back and will be posting regularly again.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!!!!!

This photo shows the dimension . . .

Hi Everyone!


Today I am sharing a fun card I made using an Action Wobble for the first time.  The little puppy is from Create-a-critter.  I made this card to give to my in-laws from our sweet little dog Curley to thank them for dog sitting while we were away on vacation.  They spoiled him so much he almost didn't want to come home!! lol!


I am trying different ways to take pictures.  I posted two so that you could see the difference.  In the first photo you can see the dimension.  In the second photo the card looks flat, but the colors look better. . .  I see I need to work on this!


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

I wanted to try something a little different with a slightly monochromatic look.  I started looking through my paper stacks and the DCWV Lemon Flower stack just jumped out at me!  I used my Imagine to create the script paper and lots of pop dots for dimension.  I also embossed the sentiment using silver embossing powder.  What do you think?
