Another card to share

I have really been busy trying to make cards for my Open House and also for my first class since early March. My class which is on July 22nd is Different Folds. I will share those as I get them done. The card I am sharing tonight is my other Make & Take for my Open House. I used the Linear Sentiments on it. I also used the Super Jumbo Circle Punch and the Mega Scalloped Circle Punch. I just love using these punches. The printed paper and the lavender paper I used is from our new Angelee Paper Line. The cardstock is our Matchmakers Cardstock Plum #1and also our Ivory cardstock. I used the Palette Ink Pad Violete.
I hope you enjoy the card. I know I have enjoyed being creative again.
I also went and had my chemo today. They cut the Benadryl in half and I wasn't as sleepy which has been good. Now to see if the bone and joint pain comes back. I am ready this time...LOL
Have a good weekend everyone!!!

Update on my Chemo and a Card Share

It has been brought to my attention that I haven't updated anything on my chemo treatments. As most of you know that come here often, I started a new chemo drug this last treatment. I have to say it is a lot better in the fact that you don't feel the fatigue and nausea as with the other drug. The down side is I had bone and joint pain for about three days. That wasn't fun but I could stay awake and function. I get my next treatment Friday so I know what to expect. After this treatment I will only have two more to go. Can you belive it when I say I am very happy about that? LOL I think I have come through all of this very well and boy do I have a new outlook on life. I can't stress enough for all of you to take care of yourself and get your yearly checkups. They sure pay off. I have been very adament about that and it sure paid off for me that my cancer was caught so early.


Now to share a card. I finally played some. Actually I have been doing some swap cards but the card I am sharing today is one for my Open House next week. This is done with the All Occasion Circles and Celebration Time. They are both new stamp sets in our new Fall and Winter 2008 catalog. I hope you enjoy the card and get some inspiration from it. It is great to showcase the Mega Circle Punch and the Giga Scalloped Circle Punch. The little strip with the brads I did with a corner rounder punch.


Have a great day EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

Thank You to HilmaRose....My SBS_16 Secret Sister

We have had a Secret Sister Swap on our Sisterhood_16 group. I just want to say that Hilmarose really out did herself with what she sent to me. First of all she made me a set of handmade items....all matching. It is a stationary set in a box, journal, notepad, address book and post it note keychain. WOW! She also did it in my favorite colors. Besides all the handmade stuff I got she also sent several types of tins to alter, Bind it All O Wires in black, 2 picture frames, scrapbook, ribbon, buttons, eyelets, snaps, brads, glue, glitter, Maya Road notebooks, and a clear stamp set for the cure. I just want to give a BIG thanks to Hilma...she really made my day and gave me a lot to play with. Below are the pictures of the items she sent.
