Say it with FRAMES!

Good Afternoon! 
It's time for another fun challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps! Say it with FRAMES! Fun,fun fun...


My card was created with 3 of the totally awesome stamp sets you can find at AnnaBelle Stamps.
I used Squared to frame my daisy from Daisy Delight and the sentiment is from All Things Grow! 
My card base is melon mambo layered with early espresso, whisper white and beyond the garden dp.

New House!

Good Morning Again!
I thought I would share a few pictures of our new home now that we are almost settled!
Living room facing the hill... morning sun!

Opposite side of living room facing kitchen. As you can see
we need bar stools!
Very small kitchen, but very efficient!
View from loft.

Our bedroom, as you can see I need to do window treatments!
We are on the 2nd and 3rd floor so it's not a rush!
I couldn't leave out my new craft room! It gets the afternoon
sun... I have a shade ordered!
That's it... all 1180 sq. ft! Easy to keep clean.. took a whole
hour and half to clean and change bedding (0=

Rosey Sunday...

Good Morning!
It's the last Sunday of the month so that means the lovely roses will be sharing their creations! This month Kerrie Rose is our hostess and she wants anything but a card. I couldn't wait to get my fingers inky again... new craft room and no mojo )0= It will come though! My little bird house was taken form the SU demonstrators pattern library. The sentiment is unknown! Be sure and check out what the rest of the bouquet has come up with... their links are on my sidebar! Have yourself a great Sunday (0:

Triple Easel ... OH My!

Good Afternoon!
 Finally blogger allowed me to upload my picture! First of all I have to apologize for the quality of my picture... still haven't set up a good place for the snapshot! Let me tell you about this card! My dear  Mary Anne Rose shared this  card with all of the bouquet! Well I had to try and make one! Mine is nowhere as awesome as the one I cased but I like how it turned out! My super cute images were colored by non other than the other Patty Sue! She is amazing... hopefully we will get together soon so she can teach me to color with my copics! I want to make another and improve my technique a little! Have yourself a super great evening!

UGGGGGGGGH

Blogger won't let me load a picture of my card )0= Any suggestions?
