Hello Doily


Things I love this week?  Delicate Doilies and the colour scheme from Domestic Goddess.  I couldn't sleep last night so I was thinking about cards that I would make today.  I almost got out of bed at 4:30 to make this card.  If there is one set that I think will be used the most out of my sets for backgrounds, this it is.  I made a set with in an earlier post that I loved as well, but these colours are funky and give it a totally different vibe.  If you don't have this set, do yourself a favour and buy it.

Stamps:  Delicate Doilies, Happy Greetings
Ink:  Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Basic Grey
Paper:  Basic Grey, Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Pool Party


My favourite layout shines once again!






I liked the first card that I made so much that I made an altered journal just like it!

OMG


Forgive the texting language of the title, but I spend my days with teenagers, and OMG really sums up my thoughts about this one.  Tonight was game 6 of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and I'm a Vancouver fan.  I'm not one of those rabid fans that screams at the television, but if the Canucks are playing, I enjoy watching them.  Sadly, this was not the case tonight.  I knew that my newest shipment of Stampin' Up products would be waiting patiently, like a lonely pet, on the front porch when I got home tonight.  Originally, our plan was to watch the game at a friend's place, but she got sick, so plans changed.  This meant that I did not get to go home after work and tear open my SU boxes like a 5 year old on Christmas morning, as I had planned.  Long story short, Vancouver SUCKED tonight, and we ended up coming home after the first two periods.  My heart leaped with joy when I saw my boxes neatly piled beside the front door. 

The new Idea Book & Catalog is due to be released at the beginning of next month, but I received my sneak peeks this evening.  The new In Colours are gorgeous and I couldn't want until tomorrow to play.  Back to the teenagers - I have a bunch of students graduating this year that I've got soft spots for, so I am still plugging away at making cards for them.  One of the girls is named Vanessa, so naturally I had to make a card with butterflies all over it for her.  I love the playful colours of this card and they worked perfectly with the butterfly punch.
