Bliss

Happy Tuesday!
I am blogging from home this week. What a flurry of activities I have had going for the past few weeks and there is no end in site for a couple of months anyway! My conference in Orlando was informative and I ended up reconnecting with some of my fellow Compliance Academy attendees from six years ago. I also took a trip over to Satellite Beach to visit a couple of special family friends and my best friend from high school. Our 40th class reunion is this year. My my....where did the time go? Now you know how old I am! lol!

My card today is for the SCS Color Combination Challenge~Concord Ivory Cakes. I started with the dessert option by making my own DP with one of the stamps in the "Bliss" set. Don't you just love this color combination! So classy and elegant!

The layout is from this weeks Card Patterns Sketch Challenge #111.



I hope you will join in the challenge!
Enjoy!

You Mean The Whirl To Me!

Happy Tuesday!

I hope your week has gotten off to a grand start! I have been hanging out in Orlando the past few days attending a compliance conference. It has been sunny and warm and I have been cooped up inside in cold conference rooms. Think they keep it cold so you don't fall asleep?  Didn't work for me I tell ya! lol!

Christmas in April?

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready to welcome Monday!
I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend. Saturday was spent at the beach and Sunday a couple of friends and I made a casino trip.

Here is a couple of pictures to get you dreaming of summer! lol!














My card today is one I did for this weeks Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper Challenge~I scream,U SCREAM, we will all scream....
Irene, aka DandI93 is the featured stamper and what a fab gallery! I had three cards picked out and decided to go with her CAS Grow With Love card. 
I changed the colors, stamps and added an image panel instead of the flower. I am so behind on the SCS Christmas Card challenge so I thought I better get started with catching up!
Thanks Irene for the inspiration!!
