**merci**

Hello!

I made a new discovery at J's the other day...I went there to drop off some stuff for Ginny {Waving!}...I made the 'mistake' of actually going into the store {with my coupon!}...

Here's today's card:

Sorry for the photog...I just couldn't get it perfect...but here's my discovery....just when I was thinking that J's is such a huge box store and they don't carry anything other than staples for me {glue dots etc} I found the ColorBok Flea Market.  Sooooooooo CUTE.  

This card doesn't look very labor intensive but for some reason I decided to make 4 of them...the Colorbok paper is 8x8 so I didn't want to waste any of that fun text panel....lotsa stitching....do you see the doily?  The felt bloom is vintage MM..gotta love the Cappuccino Baker's Twine from The Twinery...woot woot...I just won some of their new colors from Jay Gee's Nook!  The sentiment is the co-branding efforts of EAD Designs and Paper Smooches!

I was inspired by the sketch over at Cardabilities:

Thanks so much for stoppin' by!!!

We had another gorgeous day in the Pacific Northwest yesterday....they say it is going to start raining today...oh well...we have to enjoy our sunny days when we have them!

to a deer friend...

Can you guess what today's 365 Cards Scor-it Challenge? It is a Pop Up card!!! This little dear of a card {lol} folds down to put in a envy and then pops back up when you take it out! The directions are super easy, I found them on the Scor-it website:

Pop Up Card

No more of me "winging it"...lol. Do the deers look a wee bit familiar? It's from Colorbok's Friendly Forest line...when Ivy told me they were on Clearance I raced over there as soon as I could and loaded up with whatever they had left...Can you see that I have a sentiment stamped on the base? It is A Muse's "to a deer friend". The butterfly is ala a Marvy punch.

This has gone postal to a blogging friend that I just wanted to say "hang in there"...kwim? Who doesn't love happy mail?!!!

I hope that everyone made it through tax day! You all that do your own taxes are troopers, I have mine done...have for years...

Okay, head on over to 365 Cards and see Mr. Linky!!

Wise Words...Live and Enjoy Life

There is not one but 2 sketches over at 2 Sketches 4 You...woo hoo!!

For some reason Kazan's sketch 23 had me stumped...I don't know why, but I had a heck of a time...It was probably because I wanted to use some goodies that I picked up on Peachy Cheap. It didn't end up working out so I used my new Colorbok Owl..OMG, isn't he the cutest? The flower is Maya Road from 2 peas...

Wise Words:
chocolate IS the answer

Berdien's Bonus sketch is fabulous and I definitely wanted to play along...I love working with the cork that I found over at J's dollar spot...now I wish I loaded up on the stuff. All the paper is Making Memories Hul-la-ba-loo...great gift from a co-worker of mine {Hi B!}. The buttons are from my SEI stash, the pearls are K&Co...a couple of peeps told me to use tweezers for the small embellies like the pearls and bling..call me lazy but I just don't take the time to dig them out..they are the SU ones...they make me all crazy because when you squeeze on the tweezers the thing opens up...I'm use to it working the other way...the traditional way...like eyebrow tweezers, kwim? {rolling my eyes...I'm a traditional gal...these new things tend to confuse me...lol}

Any big plans for the weekend? My boy has started Spring Soccer...although he's been hit with the stomach flu, he has a game scheduled for Saturday morning...we'll see how he feels. The weather has been so cold & raining here...sooo Washington :)
