{ Wow! }

What a productive weekend I had! Lots of stamping done. Friday was our May Calgal(see sidebar) gathering and I actually made 2 cards and colored a new image too! That is not like me. Usually I spend the entire night coloring and not creating. Nancy put out a challenge this month to 'bling it up'. So here was my challenge card that I brought along.

I just love this Butterfly Swirls TAC set. The inside says...'to forget about your dreams." This was my first long card creation too. Can you believe that? I made a few more this weekend...but you have to wait for those.

Hope all my American friends are having a nice Holiday Weekend. And hope your weather is better than here in Calgary!! Still cloudy, cold and rainy here. Hoping today is the last of it. I think it has been about 7 days in a row now...enough! Bring back the sunshine and warmness!!

{ Hula Girls and Challenge card }

Okay, for those of us that a buried in snow and wind...close your eyes and image you are on the beach in Hawaii...check out these hula girls!!

Couldn't resist...the girls were playing dress up yesterday after we got back from getting hair cuts. They were performing for me, so I HAD to shoot a few pics. :0)

On another note...I stamped lastnight! And did a challenge too! Here is my entry into Ila's Highhopes blog candy. I think I like it. This is so out of my element. I don't usually use more than one kind of DP together. I see so many wonderful creations out there, but when I try...well to me it just looks messy and icky. I was lucky enough to have this great DP that I had bought off of Nancy awhile back. Enough babble...what do you think?

I love these stampsets from TAC. The butterfly is from the new mini and the sentiment is on the last page of the catty. I almost missed it and so glad that I ordered it. There are some great sentiments in the set. The inside of the card says...'to forget about your dreams'. As you can see I also too a stab at Beate's Thumping technique from a few weeks ago. I LOVE this technique. It is so pretty!!

Well, I am off to do some laundry. My darling daughter decided to dump 1/2 a bottle of cough sirup all over mommy lastnight! Yuck! Should have done the laundry lastnight...not too sure if it will come out of everything now...oh well.

Have a great Sunday!
