I Know...I've Been A BAD Blogger!

Good Morning...Happy Friday!  I know I've been a BAD blogger...I was suppose to be back before the end of last week with this posting but life got in the way (how dare life get in the way of crafting...lol!) and I wasn't able to get to it until now. I needed a couple of quick Thank You cards and a Support card and this is what I came up with. I've been playing with my Copics and having SO much fun. This first card features the ever lovable Chagito from Stampendous. You can't tell from the picture but it is stamped and popped in 3 layers and stickles added to the rain--- 

For this card I used a Whipper Snapper stamp along with the Martha Stewart fence edge punch. I added a few flowers from a Memory Box die and the grass is a MFT die. I punched the corners with Stampin Up corner punch then filled the corners with EK Success photo corners and added  some flowers from Scrapping Cottage Sugar Egg die. The "thanks" is a Cuttlebug Babyface die---

This sweet little mouse is a Penny Black stamp and the background is a layer cut with Martha Stewart Heart Punch All Over the Page. The embossed layer is Cuttlebug Love Language embossed on Core'dination paper and lightly sanded. The edge punch is from Martha Stewart and the sentiment is computer generated using Cupid de Locke font---

That's it for now...Thanks for stopping by. If you have any questions on the supplies or recipe that I haven't addressed please feel free to email me. Enjoy your day and have a wonderful weekend!

During This Difficult Time...

I want to share a card that I made this evening but before I do, please take the time to read the following---
While visiting a fellow blogger's Blog this evening, I came across a very interesting post that kind of hit home with me. The posting came from Julie's Open Window and the topic of conversation was "More New Friends...More Inspiration" I asked her if I could copy parts of it and post it on my blog and she so graciously agreed. She opened the posting by saying---
"Thanks to all of you who have kindly taken the time to send a quick comment on my recent posts. As bloggers, we know that a comment is the lifeblood of our blogs." I could not agree with her more, your comments are very important to us! How I wish more of you would take the time to comment. She closed the posting by saying---
"So I hope you will take a moment to check out 'The Blogs I Absolutely Love', stop by a few and leave an encouraging comment. It's important for us to know you're out there waiting for our next post." Again, a statement that speaks for itself! For all of you that are out there "lurking" please take the time to post a comment, it means so very much to us!

With that being said---here is the card I made tonight, it could be a sympathy card or just a card for someone who may need some added support. It was made with Spellbinders Rose Edgeability then chalked. The words through the window were computer generated on a layer of vellum. A separate sheet of paper was cut 1/4 inch shorter than the base card, folded and sandwiched between the vellum and the back of the card. I thought the paper I had in pink would go with the color of the chalk but it clashed so I opted for white until I am able to find a color of pink that matches. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you again tomorrow!
