completely random :)

Just going through my stamping stuff and came across some cards that I never posted.

Just a little randomness for your Sunday 

Two examples of cards that don't use stamps

(well with the exception of the sentiment on the top card)

I feel my mojo slowly returning.....

stop back for some more card examples:)

I'm BACK!!!

I'm sooooo happy to be back crafting again.  It's been a rough couple of months but things are looking up!!  We had a pipe break in our house the Monday before Thanksgiving that flooded most of our main living area.  We were actually displaced from our home for over 3 months!!  So I have been unable to create anything.  We are back home now and my craft room is together (tho still a bit messy) and I'm so ready to get some good "therapy", the best and tho some may argue the cheapest way.....by stamping and crafting!!  Still have to get my printer up and running....if I can figure out how to hook it up to wifi...  Anywho, I wanted to get something posted here and say "I'M HAPPY TO BE BACK".  These are some cards I made a while back, I chose these because they are cards that I made without any stamping, digi or rubber/acrylic.  The sentiment on these came from my computer.  They contain patterned paper and odds and ends.  HOPE YOU LIKE :)

HOPE TO POST MORE SOON.

MY FIRST OFFICIAL BUGABOO POST WILL

BE COMING ON 4/10

Happy New Place

The flower girl at our wedding

just moved away to finish College.

I'm still in shock!!!

It's my husbands cousins daughter,

she was only 3 when my husband and I 

started dating and now she's gone

away to College......

I can't be this old can I???

Anyway, I wanted to make her a card

to wish her well in her new place.

This image from MFT (My Favorite Things)

seemed like the logical choice.

I just love how this turned out.  

Most of it is paper pieced:)
