Good morning!


Oh what a glorious summer weekend! A perfect time to unwind from a draining workweek. Last night I had fun looking at some bubble backgrounds I had made earlier(see previous posts) and deciding how to incorporate it into a stamped card. This is my result. I used a new flower stamp from Purple Onion Designs and added a fern and flowers that I dried.

I was happy to receive some blog awards this week. A Thinking Award from my stamping pal Ethel and Nice Awards from Stamp Shack friends Barb and Angie It's great to have stamping pals who share my stamping interests! Thanks so much ladies!! I will be giving some careful thought to passing along some awards!

I would like to start today by presenting Dymphie with the Thinking Award! She shared her enthusiasum and directions for the bubble backgrounds. Additionally she is always making very creative works and posting them on her blog-be sure to take a look! Dymphie thank you for sharing with me the fun of pondering over the bubble backgrounds and many thanks Dymphie for your inspirtation!

Finally another thanks to Barb for pointing me in the direction of the automated number selector! Friday I selected the winner from comments on my color study. And the lucky number is...#9. Kim you are the winner of a Basic Grey Infuse 6x6 paper pack--it will be in the mail soon.

I'm off to enjoy another glorious day...hope yours is too!

  13. This is a great combination. It looks like a framed piece. I guess it's a card, but it could be framed.
