Rubber Stamping Class 8 22 11

These are the cards that I will be teaching this week.  The hanging basket is inspired by Vera Milne of Beaumont, TX.  We swapped at Convention.  The gals in my group at Convention loved this card!  The second card with the Seaside feel to it was inspired by Sherry Jo Painter-Torres.  We swapped at Convention 2011 as well.  I love the clean and simple look of this card.  It makes me want to go to the Coast.

Our 36th Wedding Anniversary

Davd and I celebrated our 36th Wedding Anniversary yesterday. We both feel blessed. We had a wonderful dinner at Tahoe Joe's and a movie. Dave gave me these beautiful flowers. I absolutely love receiving flowers. We had so many flowers, I had to make two arrangements. That's a nice problem! I always take pictures of the flowers so that I can enjoy them for a long time.

Scrapbooking and Rubber Stamping Card Class

This is a little collection of items that I have made using simular colors. I just love this color combination: Crumb Cake, Black, Vanilla. It really rocks my world right now! I can't seem to get enough of it.
