Sorry about the delay for this post…computer charged…good to go!

Woot-Woot…It is Monday! I am looking forward to a week of inspiration to send your way – it is the last week of Sale-A-Bration and you all know that there are some real keepers this year…for every $50.00 order you place, you will be able to pick a FREEBIE…click here to see the offerings!

A couple of things before we get to this FUN card today!

#1 – WOW – I am so happy that so many want to be a part of the Spring Card Swap that I will be doing…click here to see yesterdays post for the scoop! You can make any card your little hearts desire…just make sure that you have your name on it and I will send you someone else’s card! – It will be fun…let’s see how many different states we can get cards from!

#2 – My weekend with Hannah was wonderful and I need to let you know that her Eating House (she goes to Davidson College and they do not have Sororities…they are called Eating Houses) and they had an amazing event …it was for Early Detection for Breast Cancer and these girls raised over 106,000.00!!! Is that amazing or what! There were about 300 people there and WOW…106k….WOWZERS…WOOT-WOOT…these girls did a fantastic job!!!

#3 – The moon and the stars lined up perfectly for me on the way home…years ago, we needed to make a very painful & hard decision to donated Hannah’s horse Millie to a College in Virginia and I stopped by on my way home and not only did I get to see her…they were having a horse show and I was able to see her go! My heart skipped a beat and tears rolled down my face when I called her name and she remembered me…I try to stop and see her when I am in the area but it was the “completeness” of  my weekend to she her happy and sound and being able to do a “job” for a great riding program!

Ok – enough about the weekend…I am sorry  – I just had to share!

Now is this card super cute or what! This is a card that I did for a basket for Hannah’s silent auction on Saturday…to me, an instant smile comes on my face!

• The base is an A-2 scored at the 5 ½” side!

•  The fun DSP is from the Fresh Prints DSP….soooo fun! You can easily do 2 cards from a sheet! The piece on the card is 2" X 4 1/4" and then the little piece of Daffodil Delight is 1/4" X 4 1/4" I highly recommend that you use the RIGHT side of the Stampin Trimmer to make thin cuts….soooo much easier!

• The "Film Frame" was cut out in Strawberry Slush and it is from the On Film Framelits….I took a piece of white paper to stamp my image using the brush end of the markers…and them using the "green glue" I adhered them to the film frame…cute…right??? The stamp set is the fun Perfect Pennants Stamp Set!

• Time for some simple punches!!! The punches I used for this card were the Owl Builder (for the dots), the Boho Blossoms , the Petite Petals punch and the Itty Bitty Punch Set!

TIP ALERT: – Stampin' Up! has HANDS DOWN – the best punches…I realize that we have many but I suggest that you continue to build your inventory of them as you can see by this simple card…it is the punches that give it that WOW!!!!

• Envelope time…I just could not resist the polka dot paper in the same color scheme!!! Too darn cute!!! The envelope liner Framelit to the rescue…and BAM – DONE!

Well…was it worth the wait! I think so! I invite you to look at the "layout" of this card and you will see that you could use many different color schemes and sentiments to make this over and over!!! You have heard me before…when you have a great layout and it "works" for you ….then do it again and again!!!

Tomorrow is the last Tuesday of the quarter and I am hoping that when I wake up tomorrow that Stampin' Up! is going to unveil a NEW PRODUCT….and if so – I know that there will be MANY of you that will want!!! At leadership in January they said that it would be in the 1st quarter and I have been patiently waiting….

So….just in case…I would be thinking of products you might be needing and if my "hunch" is right…you will easily be able to hit that magic mark of $50.00 for a sale a bration item! Remember, click here to go to my on-line store and you can order anytime of the day!

Thank for your patience and I will say…my "fuel tank" was filled this weekend…seeing Ted and he is doing great considering…being with my beautiful daughter…seeing the hard work and dedication these girls did in raising such an AMAZING amount…and then seeing my sweet Millie! All of this in just 2 short days!!!

I hope my "hunch" is right for tomorrow…..have a great day!
