MIA and Wow Flowers swaps

August 10, 2008 By Connie | 2 Comments

I know, I know! I disappeared on you, didn’t I? Did you miss me? lol! I didn’t even get time to work on or post the Blogger’s Challenge on Friday. To make up for it, here are TWO version of cards I made for my Fab 4 swap group…they got the Tangerine Tango one.

Friday morning I had a medical test done that took over 2 hours. Good news is that I was able to work on my Control Freaks Swap Cards while I sat there waiting on the test. Bad news is that after the test I felt very sick to my stomach. By the time I felt better, my son had arrived to visit for the weekend. I hate to spend time on the computer when he is in town, so he took precedence…sorry! He took us out to dinner on Friday night, which was an unexpected treat! On Saturday, we had to get him to a wedding and then run a lot of errands…then went out to the Lake since it was BEAUTIFUL weather here and had dinner with our friends. Today we spent the day with him and then took him back to the airport. I miss him already! The rest of the day I have spent digging out from the mess in my Stamp Studio! I just DROPPED everything there after I got back from Convention last Sunday and have only moved the mess around to do a few things. Thankfully, everything is almost back in its proper place and I can work again!

The difference between the two cards (besides colors of course) is that I used two stars to go behind the Happy Birthday circle stamp from Wow Flowers and a Pretties Kit half pearl for the center of the flower. I liked the combination of Tangerine Tango and Blush Blossom with Chocolate Chip! The background is Twill again! I just LOVE that stamp! And, of course, the preorder stamp set Heard from the Heart is wonderful for the greeting!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend, too!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 23 years and just had my 22nd Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

It sounds like you had a very busy weekend. Your cards are gorgeous. I just love the Twill background when I see it stamped, but I haven’t purchased it yet.
