Happy Saturday!

Hello! It's Saturday! My favorite day of the week! Might be because it's the only full day off I have every week! I've been thinking lately, that I'm at the age now where I may want to add another day off soon! I'm getting too old to work this much! Yesterday in the flower department was crazy! Way too much heavy lifting...my back is sore today...and I was planning on planting lots of flowers later....we'll have to see how it goes. I'm off to go get those flowers now, and will post some pictures here, later today. In the meantime, I thought you might enjoy a fun, goofy picture of Murphy. He sleeps, upside down like this, everyday! I laugh each time I see it!! He is such a joy!



I'm hoping to get some cardmaking in too! The house cleaning and laundry are going to have to wait! Ha!

Have a wonderful Saturday! :)

I won! And a Card to Celebrate!

What a great day I had yesterday! Waking up to a Fab Five win, announced on the Hero Arts blog, was just the best! I literally jumped up and down for a bit, kind of started screaming, "I won! I won!" Then ran around the house, clapped my hands a couple of times and yelled, "Yes! I won! I'm so excited!" The funny thing is that no one else was home! Well, except for my cat, Murphy! And boy was he ever giving me some weird looks! I'm thinking very hard about what to buy. I really don't know if I need anymore stamps at the moment. I know...you think I'm crazy for saying that. But I really need to stock up on some supplies like pearls, paper, ink, Ultra Clean etc... We'll see.

So onto today's card. I was looking at blogs last night and stopped in to see what Lisa Spangler was up to. She always has the best tips, tricks and fun techniques! Her blog is so fun to visit! She shared the technique of using markers on a silhouette stamp and then spritzing it with a mix of Perfect Pearls and water, before stamping it onto white cardstock. I wanted to give it a try, so I used my Zig markers on the Hero Arts Garden Silhouette stamp. I love the way it turned out. I only wish you could see the shimmer of the perfect pearls! I also used the La Letter stamp on the four background panels and clear embossed. The sentiment was an easy choice....to celebrate my win! I could also use it for a birthday card.


There are 8 more days until vacation time! (7 of which I work!) Boy am I looking forward to it! At the same time, I am so blessed to have a job that I love! Working with flowers everyday is a joy! It'll be really nice, though, to have 9 days off!

I hope you have a wonderful day! Make some time for fun and laughter! :)
