What does an ear infection + a cold (cough and runny nose) + a couple of teeth poking out equal?
A VERY CRANKY BABY and a VERY BEHIND MOMMY!!!!

It has been a very trying week…I was ahead in my blog posts so thankfully my blog kept up by itself but the rest of my life did not!!! I had 2 club meetings, a team meeting and just regular family stuff all week to keep up with and boy was it a challenge! My poor baby girl was so unhappy, thankfully she seems to be in a better mood today. I hope this is the start of a GOOD WEEK!!! Wish me luck!!!

Let’s see what can I share with you other than my grumbling?! How about one of my club projects from last week?
We had a blast using the Watercolor Misting technique that was featured on Andrea Walford’s blog:

Inspired by Nature Stamp Set

Cardstock in Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White

Old Olive Classic Ink Pad

Mist Water Bottle (old Stampin’ Mist Bottle works well)

Stampin’ Write Markers in the following colours

Chocolate Chip

Close to Cocoa

Old Olive

Always Artichoke

Summer Sun

More Mustard

Pumpkin Pie

Really Rust

Tomorrow I’ll show you the other project we made using the Faux Metal Technique….I’ll even have a tutorial in there for you to try the technique yourself!!! See you then! I’m off to pick up baby from Preschool…can you believe she’s in preschool at 19 months…she just loves it and I’m so happy that she likes it so much!

Have a great day!

My very talented stamp club member Olivia brought this adorable card to show me and I just had to share it with all of you. Isn’t it adorable?

I love how she used the card in the catalogue for inspiration! Check out page 27 to see what I mean. That’s what is so great about having the catalogue…you can use it to help you with colour combinations, or card designs! If you don’t have a catalogue yet, feel free to email me to get yours!

Each month I send off over 20 cards to the top Demonstrators in my group. This month we chose Flight of the Butterfly for the cards to send. I love the fresh colours in this card, it really is fun to use Two-Step stamping to instantly "colour" your images.

Similarly, the images in this Two-Step Stampin’ set are sure to delight and catch the attention of all who see them.
