I'm Baaaaaack!!!

Hi there friends! I know it's been a loooong time, and I apologize. My life got a little busy, and then I sort of lost my motivation to make cards. I finally got my mojo back today and inked up Shooter from The Greeting Farm. Shooter is one of the MANY stamps that I purchased during my "slump". I have quite a few stamps that have yet to be used, so you should be seeing new things from me!Here is a close up of Shooter:

Isn't she adorable?
I used the Farm Fresh Friday sketch from the Greeting Farm's Blog. This is the first card I've made in TWO months and so I needed the sketch to get me going.

I used Kraft paper from Stampin' Up for the card base, retired ribbon from SU as well as the brad to hold the ribbon on. The rust colored paper is from Crate Paper and the plaid patterned paper is October Afternoon.

One of the things that helped me get my mojo back was a card that I got in the mail a couple days ago. Guess what kind of card it was... a CHRISTMAS CARD!!! I couldn't believe it when I saw it in my mailbox. First I thought, "Why is Amy Young sending me a card?" Then I noticed the postage stamp... then I looked at the date stamped onto the front of the envelope and noticed the date... DECEMBER 4th, 2009!!! What the Heck?!?

Sure enough, when I opened the envelope, this gorgeous card was inside:

I double checked the postage, even asked the person at the package pickup window if I was seeing things but sure enough, it was from DECEMBER! The person at the window said "musta been lost somewhere" ROFL! You think?

Regardless, it was a wonderful surprise to get. I LOVE the detail Amy puts into her cards! Here you can see the the glitter on the Fairy's wings and the cool embossing on the sentiment.

In the next picture you can see the gorgeous liquid pearls on her dress, and the glitter all around the edges of the card.

Thank you so much Amy! I love the card!

Well, I'm signing off for the night. Hopefully I'll get another card done tomorrow... Although, I owe you all a TON of Scenic Sunday posts... and I did go on a cruise to Greece! Come back tomorrow to see a few pictures. Until then, be blessed!
