One - Layer Wednesday gone Wrong!

Good Morning!
I have been crazy busy! You know the faster I go
the behinder I get.... sigh! Not complaining mind you!
With the recession (depression) my business has been
down for about 2yrs.. Then someone flipped a switch!
So I made this card for One-Layer Wednesday... I 
didn't go back and read the challenge soooooooooo
My card was supposed to be square, it's not, nope
not square at all LOL!

The challenge is a square card and use an outline stamp!
Well I'm half way there! I used a Unity stamp set for this
card but don't know it's name. I could find out it's name
but that means I would have to get up , out of my chair and
walk down the hall to my craft room! Just not that ambitious
right now!

Artful INKables Tuesday

Good Morning!
It's Tuesday and you know what that means... My weekend
is over and I have to go back to work! It also means it's time
for my Artful INKables post! My creation is a free standing
pop up card. You can get the tutorial here. This was really 
pretty simple to make!
I seem to be stuck on this color combo! I love
the new marina mist and early espresso. I used 
the new set " Sew You" as my focal point! This
folds up to fit an A2 envelope. I'm thinkin I need
to make my gkids Christmas cards like this... they
would enjoy them! That's it for today! Pop
over the Artful INKables
and take a look around the store... you won't be
disappointed!

One - Layer Wednesday on Thursday!

Good Morning!
How is life treating you? Me you ask... Life couldn't
be better! As you know (because I've whined a lot) I've
been missing my mojo :0( Well last night I went to my
special place (craft room) you thought it was something 
else huh? Any hoo I went in and cleaned up my mess...
It seems to have helped! I whipped this little baby up in
about 15 min. It's for the One-Layer challenge!

 The sentiment came from "Heard from the Heart"
My wreath was created with the MS branch punch.
Added a cute little bow and there you have it! I am
also entering in these challenges:
That's it for today! See you tomorrow!
~Hugs~
