Oh, Hello

Hi there and Happy Memorial Day!  A big thank you to our military (past and present) for keeping our nation free!  Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend.  I've been in cleaning mode.  Not fun but very necessry.  I've neglected things around here way too long!  Enough about that.  Here's information about the card today that was made at Carla's Buffet.  The stamp set used is Oh, Hello, which appeared in the Stampin' Up! Spring catalog - and is carrying over into the new annual catalog!  Oval Framelits were used to cut out the two larger ovals and a punch was used on the butterfly image.  The bottom Cherry Cobbler portion was embossed with the Honeycomb embossing folder.

All Stampin' Up! supplies used unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: Oh, Hello
Paper: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, White
Ink: Early Espresso, So Saffron
Other: Taffeta ribbon, honeycomb embossing folder, framelits, oval punch

Sorry for the quick post but must get back to work before I lose my cleaning mojo!  lol   Safe travels to those on the road and thanks for including me in your travels via internet today!

Oh, Whale!

Hi there and happy Monday to you!  Hope all you moms had a wonderful Mother's Day.  I had a quiet day relaxing after a hectic week.  Saturday we had a wonderful turnout for our Card Buffet.  Thank you ladies so much for a fun day and for your support!  Funny story - I mentioned to some friends sitting at one of the tables that my youngest daughter and fiance were visiting her sister in FL to check out the beaches for their wedding.  Then one of the gals at the next table (who I met about a month ago) asked my oldest daughter's name.  She told me they went to high school together and just recently connected on Facebook!  That is so funny considering we moved from that school district over 25 years ago.  Small world, huh? 
Well back to the above card, which was on our Buffet last month.  I just love this Oh, Whale! set.  (It will only be available for a couple more weeks.  Get it while you can.)  The set contains several different sentiments.  I chose the "get whale soon" for the inside of the card.

It's another busy week of running.  Today I'll be picking up my daughter and her fiance from the airport.  Then we're going out for a belated Mother's Day brunch.  Hope you have a great week.  Thank you for visiting today!
