Tea Party Friend

Sorry for the late post today. My sister has been sick with a flue and she can’t shake it. Yesterday they put her in the hospital to run some tests. It is not the swine flu but they need to check things out. She will probably make her stay another day to make sure she can keep solids down. I just love the Tea Party DS paper. I have used it on several cards but…

Today’s card is not your usual invitation size card. It is actually 4 x 7 1/2. This will fit in a business size envelope and still take a regular stamp. It was fun to play with this…

On the Mother’s and Daughter’s Creations blog they posted they were sponsoring a challenge on the Cafe Mojo Challenges blog. I decided to check it out and saw it was to use ribbon in a non-traditional way. As I was laying in bed the other night watching tv when I wondered if I could use this beautiful sheer ribbon I had gotten from Heidi. to make a butterfly. I wondered how I was going to…
