I know, it's been awhile

OK, I have been a bad little blogger. I could go into all the excuses why I haven't kept my site updated, but they would really just be excuses!

We have officially started finishing our basement! The plumbers were here last week and now we just need the inspector to come out and look at the job they did. I can't wait until the basement is finished! That means that my son will move downstairs to a HUGE bedroom and I will finally get a stamping room of my own!

Here is my card for today:

I had some scraps laying on my kitchen table from another project I was working on. I really didn't feel like cleaning up, so I stamped instead! I really like how this one turned out. I used Stampin' Write markers to get the two different colors for the flower stamp. I also went a little crazy with the paper piercing, but I find it so relaxing to pierce the paper! Notice how the scallops on are also pierced on the "Thanks" tag?

Supplies: Live Your Dream stamp Set, Soft Sky, Rose Red, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla Card Stock, Afternoon Tea Designer Series Paper, Rose Red and Always Artichoke Stampin' Write Markers, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink, Rich Regals Brads, HodgePodge Hardware, Soft Sky Double Stitched Ribbon, Crafters Tool Kit




One final note, thanks to those ladies who tagged my blog. Please don't take offense that I have not yet participated! As you can tell, I have neglected this blog much too long.
