With My Sympathy....

I haven't been on my blog in a while. I have been really busy making cards but haven't had a chance to put them up. I was blog hopping and came across a girl Sarah Gough. WoW! She has a great style and I just love the layout of this card. I copied her layout here. If you want to check out her stuff she's on MFT blog.
My boss at work's mother passed away unexpectedly. I thought that I would make here this card. I probably won't see her until next week to give it to her....The thought right.

Stamps: None Paper: Bo Bunny- Liberty pad, Kraft, Night of navy, Real red, Ink: black from printer Accessories: Die-Namics, Nesties, SU! Flower punch, TE leaf die, brads, bling, Pop dots, Clear adhesive dots

Today is the day....

I really haven't had much time the last few weeks to really play and get it together. I have had a few side jobs making cards and a few projects (not stamping related) *wink wishing I could lock myself in my office and create ART all the time...... Got to make the money honey. Anyways, I am going to a Breast Cancer awareness stamp thing. A local chapter for breast CA. gave a donation for a bunch of girls to make cards so they can raffle them off to make money. make and takes and food, make some cards and what ever you want to do basically. That is right up my ally. This is one of the cards that I made. I have a different leaf die that I may use. This one looks a little flimsy. anyways.
