Stampin’ Up! Sunshine & Tulips

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s been really busy here at our house. I got all my cookies done and today I’m hoping to get all my trays put together and ready for delivery tomorrow. Friday night I went to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra with my husband and daughter. The concert was amazing to say the least. I love concerts that also include light shows and they DID NOT disappoint. The music was fantastic and between the lights, lasers, fire, dancing drones and fireworks my heart was full.

Today’s card was actually supposed to be my post for yesterday, but since I didn’t get home from the concert until almost 1am and I had to get up early for work, I just couldn’t get my post done on time. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Creative Haven CAS

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. What kind of plans do you all have for the weekend? I’ll be working today, and I believe by the time I get home from work; my husband will have gone to cut our tree and have it set up and ready to decorate. I feel like we’re a little late this year with getting the tree. All I’ll have to do is jump up into the attic to get everything out. I finally decorated my card studio and put up my small 4 1/2′ tree. We set up multiple trees in our house, the smaller trees are in the bedrooms or my studio, and the main tree is in the living room.

Today’s card is one that we made last Sunday at our quarterly meeting. this card was designed by my wonderful team member Tara Carpenter. Here’s my card for today.
