...never mind. A good excuse doesn't come to mind so I won't embarass myself with a lame one! :)

last ones

Here is the last of the stamped cards I got for my birthday along with the stamped chipboard clipboard (say that 3 times real fast!!) I got from my buddy (and twin separted at birth - long story there...) Deb in CT! :) Too, too cute for words!!

oops!!

OK - so I was gonna get some more of my b-day cards up, but have been knee-deep in getting ready for my hostess club this weekend (yep - we have already discussed the procrastination issue! LOL!). So here are a few more...

sharing some b-day cards

Last month I had a birthday - one of those milestone types! So I thought I would share the cards I got from my stamping buddies over the next few posts. I'm pretty sure you can figure out which b-day it was... LOL!

Doodling again :)

This just has to be one of my favorite sets! It is so easy to make a a great card with this flower stamped on d/p then cut out. Ya gotta love that! Looks like my camera or photo software distorted the color a bit, but the blue really is Not Quite Navy. :)
