Hi there!  Hope all the moms out there had a great Mother's Day.  I sure did - and the weather was gorgeous!   Had lunch with my youngest daughter and son-in-law.  The oldest daughter left Saturday for her international tour job and our son was also working.  It was still a wonderful day which included seeing the granddog, Rocky.  He loved the treats that I had for him.  (Oh, but these were not just any treats!  These were healthy, homemade treats that our granddaughter helped me bake a few weeks ago.) 
OK, enought chit chat.  Let's get to the card.  It's another sample from our Card Buffet, which shows the versitility of the Scallop Tag Topper Punch from the 2014 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.  I watched Dee Slater's video to learn how to make this unique closure.  The rest of the card is my own design.  There are numerous videos on the internet with instructions but I chose Dee's.  You can view her video here (scroll down to Jan 27 post).  Give this technique a try.  It's actually very easy!

Had a chance to play with some of the new goodies that Mr. Brown delivered - mostly the Blendabilities.  Love them!  Come back tomorrow to see what I did.  Must sign off now to take care of some chores.  Thank you so much for peeking in today!

Doggone Cute!

Hi there and happy Monday to you!  Hope you had a good weekend.  Mine was busy with attending our granddaughter's soccer game on Saturday and our Card Buffet at DeLeo's on Sunday.  What a great group of ladies!  Thank you all soooo much for making our day!

The above card was one that appeared on our Buffet in Feb.  It could easily be changed to neutral tones and used for a boys birthday - or for grown up kids!  Who doesn't love a cute puppy?  Thanks to Dee Slater for the inspiration.  She has a video here.
