Live Your Bliss

I finished this card several days ago but have been too tired/lazy to post it until tonight. You can’t really see the Sparkles in the photograph, which is too bad, because picking and placing those tiny buggers with a needle was painstaking work. LOL.

Materials & Tools: White Daisy and Black cardstock; Black ink pad; Gina K Designs Fine Furnishings and Papertrey Ink Mixed Messages stamp set; Bitty Sparkles; Satin ribbon from my stash.

A Slice of Life: I have been very busy at work this week, which is good except for the fact I have been dog tired at the end of the day. Other than that, there hasn’t been a whole lot going on around here this week … so far. My mailbox held some wonderful surprises today, which I will show you about at some point tomorrow. For tonight, I’m going to go take a relaxing bath and go to bed – a few extra ZZZs in preparation for the weekend unless I get too caught up in Eat, Pray, Love, the book that has been sold out in town and I was finally lucky enough to finally get my hands on this afternoon. Make your Friday a good one, friends. Thanks for stopping by!

It’s Tuesday… Again

This card is for you. Yes, I have missed you and apologize for the disappearing act. I don’t even have a good excuse.

Isn’t this chair cute? A couple of weeks ago, I won the weekly drawing on the Card Positioning Systems blog and got to pick the set of my choice (value up to $23.95) from Gina K Designs. It was a tough decision. I look and looked at all the beautiful designs, and in the end, chose Nina Brackett’s Fine Furnishings. It arrived on Saturday. Thank you CPS and Gina K Designs!

This is my Simple Saturday post – a few days late. The chair – as you can see – was  paper-pieced. I used textured white cardstock.

Materials & Tools: Sweet Leaf, Black, and White Daisy Textured cardstock; Emporium paper packet; Black ink pad; Gina K Designs Fine Furnishings and Close To My Heart Say it in Style stamp sets.

What’s new? I have some serious catching up to do with my blogging friends. A week is too long!

As for what I’ve been up to, it hasn’t been anything outside the norm. Work. Home. Work at home. Time with family. Time with friends. The only thing that has been lacking is mojo. I’m hoping to find some soon. Please don’t give up on me.
