Little Scraps Of Paper

Special Thanks

Last month while I was missing from blogging, I celebrated my 39th birthday on February 10th. I needed to make a few thank you cards and since time is limited these days I wanted something cute and stylish but something that I could make quick.

 So I reached for my new A Muse spring release stamps that had not seen ink yet and this is what I came up with.

I love the new long grass stamp and this little flower adds just the right touch. You can't tell in the photo but I added tiny twinkle stickers in the center of each flower for a little spring bling. I really like this color combo too. I know its a little darker then most are using this time of year but I was having fun with some new Perfect Match ink pads I ordered a while back.

This was about it for my stamping this weekend so I won't have much more to post this week.

School is keeping me VERY busy but it is going very well. I got my first tests back this week and so far I can say I am holding an A in both classes. (Anatomy and Statistics) I am actually at my midterms right now so I will be hitting the books pretty hard this week. Thank goodness next week is spring break from work!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy St. Patrick's Day! This is a very special holiday for me not only because I am Irish but Leon proposed on St. Patty's Day so we always have an extra special reason to celebrate. Since I'll be in school until 10:00 tonight we had our celebration over the weekend. He made me the BEST Irish potato and leek soup and shepherd's pie for dinner Sunday night! So while he was busy in the kitchen I made him this card to find while I am at school.

Goodluckabella is stamped in Palette Noir Black ink and colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. The pattern paper is by Reminisce the Green Day collection and the shamrocks I found last year at Joann's.

I hope you all have a fun filled Day!

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Missing in Action...

But for a good cause. Here is a little crafty hint.

 

This is something that Leon and I have been talking about for a while now and well I just jumped in with both feet. In addition to working full time I am also now going to school full time at night! So as you can guess time is a bit non existent right now.

I am going for a new degree as a Medical Laboratory Technician, hence the card above. I can't find any stamps of girls in just scrubs so Booboobella will have to make do for now until some company (Hint hint) makes one more suitable. LOL I actually made this card for the my school rep who helped me get all the paper work done in time to start this semester.

Bella is stamped in Palette  Noir Black ink and colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. The pattern paper is an old one by K & Company but I thought it match the scrubs well. "Thank you" is from A Muse and the ribbon is by American Crafts. A simple quick card but right now that is all I have time for.  :)

Hopefully I'll be able to find time to make cards on the weekends but I have a feeling my homework will take up a lot of my time! But I promise to try to post as often as I can, I hope (If anyone is still out there) you'll still stop by and check in to see how I am doing with my cards and studies.
