A Little Note

Tonight I had time to make a  quick and simple card.  You will notice that I did not stray too far from my usual design. I hope that you like it. :)

  

The stamp that I used is called lady Bug in Grass and it is made by Rubber Soul. I originally purchased this stamp to make a card for Earth Day. Instead I used a different image. I love this little ladybug. The sentiment is from Studio G.,an acrylic stamp that only cost one dollar and is sold  at Micahels. I used Nestabilitie Labels One for the layers. On the bottom layer I used the  Cuttltlebug Swiss Dots emboss folder. I hope that you can see it. I love that it gives some dimension to my card. The designer paper is called Grove and is from Memory Box. The card-stock is from Stampin UP!The ink that I used is Versafine  Black Onyx. The adhesive that I used is from UHU Glue.  Last but not least I added a button to match the color of the card-stock and a  sheer white ribbon with polka dots.  Oh and to color my image I used my Prism Coloring pencils and Gamsol.

Personal Ramblings

Wow! What a weekend. The Nascar race certainly brought lots of people from all over the US to our small town. I got to see the jets fly right over my home once again. I always get a thrill when I hear the sound of them approaching and watching how fast they go by me. This year there were only 2 jets instead of three. They flew lower and it seemed to me that they went faster then normal. But still it was exciting. Unfortunately it began raining about three quarters of the way into the race. So  the winner was chosen. And of course Wayne and I celebrated his birthday. He had a wonderful day despite the rain. It has been raining every single day for a very long time. It is going to continue to rain until Saturday. YUCK! 

I have not been able to walk every day due to the rain. I sure do miss my daily walks. I hope that will change soon so that I can get back out there and hit the pavement. 

The thing that I find amazing is how well my gardens are doing with all of this rain and very little sun. Last night I posted some  photos of flowers from my gardens that I took last week. If you would like to see them click here. I would have posted them on this blog but I try to keep this my craft blog. Of course as some of you know I do put up some photos of Wayne and I and I do sneak in a Smile box from time to time. :)

I hope that all of you had a great weekend and have an awesome Tuesday. Smile. :)
