Michaela and I are headed home today. It has been a good week. She has visited a lot of the surrounding towns to get to know the area. She has hit some really good sales (how about silk fabric for curtains that was originally $50 a yard on sale for $6 or a $70 mirror on sale for $17). That girl really has the luck when it comes to shopping! We have visited several local…
This is the last card from my fun and funky card set. I wanted to create a colorful butterfly so I pulled out my Kaleidacolor pads and choose this one to ink the image.

I have another card from the fun and funky set I made. I have wanted to try embossing on patterned paper. I think the Upsy Daisy stamp from Stampin’ Up is perfect for that. I had the Jersey Shore patterned paper and hadn’t used it much so I thought I would give it a try with this stamp. I think the way it turned out was pretty cool. What do you think? Stamps: Upsy Daisy,…
