Pretty Little Peacock - Scrapbooking in Melbourne, Florida

Hello, friends!!!

Happy Friday!  Woohooo!  Do you have Super-Bowl-watching plans this weekend?  I just spoke with my buddy Butch in St. Louis.  It will be his last supper, so to speak, as he is starting the South Beach diet on Monday.  We're going to try to encourage each other to lose a little weight.  I only wish I just had 25 pounds to lose like he he does!  Well, one step at a time, right?

Here's a card I made in December (last year - tee hee!) for the Humble Artists' Group swap that I am in.

I just can't stop using my Spellbinders(TM) Grand Labels Four die templates for cards!  See how nicely they nest together?  I used the largest for the card base, then the next one for the blue paper.  Then I cut the center out of the blue paper, flipped it over to the light brown side and used that inside the card!  Don't you love that little peacock?  I should have taken a photo of her before I mailed off my cards, but I didn't.  I inked her up in green, then added some blue with sponge daubers, plus a few sparkles on her crest and feathers.

I'm itchin' to craft, so I think I'll retreat to my humble studio.

Till later,

HAGS? HAS? tee heee CTMH Scrapbooking in Melbourne, Florida

Hey y'all!  My back is aching.  I am packing my office to move.  We received boxes today and must be ready when we leave work Wednesday.  Needless to say....since I have been working here for nearly 16 years, I have a TON of stuff to toss.  So I have been tossing and shredding and boxing.  Ugh.  So I was even happier than usual to be home this evening!

Here's a quick post.  I was invited by my friend Nancy to join CTMH's Humble Artists' Swap.  Now, Nancy's e-mail (correct me if I am wrong, Nancy) said "Humble Artists' Group Swap".  So of course I called it the HAGS swap.  LOL!!!!  It's the HAS swap......not HAGS!!!  But I will forever think of it as HAGS.  Mwah ha haaaa!

I said this was going to be quick - but here I go - blah blah blah!  I took a snapshot of the card here before I sent it off to the other four ladies in my swap group.  Well....Nancy received hers about three weeks late.  Turns out my card was traveling the country, making snow angels along her merry way!  Actually traveling the continent, as I am in Florida and Nancy is in Canada!  My card arrived wet and crumpled with all the stamping washed out.  Good grief!  Thankfully I snapped this photo.

I mailed my next HAGS HAS swap card last week - we'll see how it fares!  Will post it towards the end of April - but let me just say that I loooove it!!!

Thank you for sticking with me and all of my ramblings.  And thank you for your sweet comments....I just love my cyber friends!!!
