Some good news…

hi ladies… I was without words when Valerie O. asked me to be her hybrid artist… of course I accepted (have you seen her kits?)LOL!!!!  Well of course when it rains it pours, my printer is misbehaving.. bugger is acting up and causing me a headache.. so I made a LO instead of a hybrid project but I promise I’ll have something for you really really soon… how about some cookies next time, ok?  And yes, it IS purple… a tone of purple… but I just couldn’t resist how flippin’ awesome it looks against gray… I don’t think I have seen this color combo before and I LOVE IT!!!! yes, I said it I love something w/ purple… LOL!!!  The kit is called Winter Wishes and it is exclusive from Oct 9th – 31st and Sunshine Scraps!

SAS Release Day 4

sorry for the delay… long story short… I need prayers for my DH’s uncle… please pray hard!… now onto the release!

Here is my sample, I really like how this one turned out… it makes me remember the first time I snuck out of the Island to come and visit my “boyfriend” at the time (DH now) for a R&R in Boston… it snowed… and it was gorgeous, and it was the first time I had seen snow!  And this card represents everything I thought of that day…. happiness, tranquility… HOPE!!!!  I love TRIM A TREE stamp set… I think it might be my favorite of them all… I wish you could see how sparkly the tree is, since it is ALL done w/ layers upon layers of GREEN pearl-ex!

Check out what the rest of the team has done w/ this set; and remember tomorrow is BLOG HOP day!
