Secret Sister Week 1 & 2

I signed up for a Secret Sister exchange on Lorie Ames' blog Live, Love, Laugh, Create. I have been having a blast making cards and sending little goodies to my secret sis. Well, I got my first package and I got 2 weeks' worth of goodies at once!!

I just love the ribbon on this card,it is so soft!! I would love to find it somewhere! And the coloring my secret sis did is amazing!! I just don;t have the patience for this kind of intricate work. ;(

My first House Mouse!! Isn't this the sweetest thing?? I love the paper rick rack on the edges!!It's beautiful!! I'd love to find it too!!! And the paper that the image and sentiment are bordered on is shimmery - sooooo pretty!!!! Gotta' get me some!!!

And then there's the stickers!! 2 sets!!! Both are Stickopotamus, but I had to take them out of the wrapper to avoid the glare for the close up shots. I'm sure she sent the firecrackers cuz I said I make and send a lot of Patriotic cards for soldiers. I used to make a lot for birthdays for sons and daughters of people on MMO but now I'm going to concentrate on cards for Cards for Heroes and OQC. You should check them both out!

Reindeer Games Winnings!!!!

I had completely forgotten that I had won some blog candy over at Card Metaphors!! Alli sent me some adorable clear stamps (which I LOVE!!!) and they arrived two days ago.

Here they are ~ sooooo cute!!!! Thanks Alli!!!!!

QKD Versamark Challenge

Day 3 Challenge on Tanis' blog for the Great QKD Round Robin was a Versamark or tone-on-tone challenge. Basically, make anything you want with Versamark or tone-on-tone stamping. Well, anyone who knows me knows I love my Versamark!!! But, I have been terribly busy the last few days. Monday we spent the day at Maxfund after bringing in a Shetland Sheepdog who needed a new home. Then Tuesday we were down in Colorado Springs all day for a Hero's funeral. Today I slept. Much needed rest!! So, I'm going to pull some old cards and hope they are okay for the challenge.
