Happy Heart Day! PPA 187

January 10, 2014

Good Morning!  It is pouring here!  Great day to work on the ironing pile and hide in my craft room. 
I LOVE the colors for Pals Paper Arts this week.  The Design Teams samples were amazing, too!  When there is Real Red involved, I am in:)))  I am still working on my Valentine stash, so here is my card for today.  ENJOY!

Q is for Queen NAC 71

January 9, 2014

Another week is flying by.  How does the time pass so quickly?

I am trying to get a few Valentine's made since my knee replacement is going to set me back next week.  I loved the sketch the Nacho Team provided this week!  This is one I will use over and over.  The Design Team samples were amazing! 

I was a teacher for 27 years and I know nothing means more to a teacher than receiving something special from a student.  Every teacher is "Queen" of her classroom, so I made this card for a special teacher and I hope you will enjoy it, too!

The Storybook Friends paper by Stampin' Up! is retired, but I thought it was perfect for my card.

It has been a very longgggg day!  I spent 4 hours at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta having my Pre/Op for my knee replacement surgery on Tuesday.  I am sooooo happy to be home!!!!   I made a card for The Friday Mash-Up last night and I have 1 hour until the deadline to get it posted.  Nothing like last minute-----
