Happy Sunday! Here is another post of fabulous cards and FUN that have have received while I have been on my BUM!
Confession….yesterday I was getting a little "stir crazy" so I went and took a nap! (This is something that I never usually do and I felt a bit quilty but heck – I really liked it!) When Hannah called to see how I was doing I told her I napped and she said – "Isn't it wonderful…I could have told you a long time ago…naps are under-rated" Darn I love that peep!
Here you go with more inspiration from some talented people! You will get a kick out of one of them….as Daisy Mae (the pig) got a hold of an element of a card and what can I say but pigs just do not listen like a dog!
This 1st card is right up my alley….very clean and simple and oh so versatile with many different sentiments! This is from the very talented Karen Hallam from sunny CA and I am proud to have her on my team! Karen always comes up with classic and clean designs and she has just started a blog….please pop on over and give her some love!
This next FUN and UNIQUE idea came from one of my "Old Faithfuls" Make it Mine Monday gals….(This is the goodie that Daisy Mae got into).….heck – her lips were chapped and she just needed a little help!
This is from Sharon Haster and what a GREAT idea! These "EOS lip Balms" are so popular right now (I think Hannah has 5+ of them) and just look what Sharon did….she made the flower on the card….and then the lip balm is the blossom!
Sharon sent me a beautiful "Pink" one….and it rolled off my table and Daisey Mae….SWOOPED it up! (I borrow one of Hannah's for the picture) – wouldn't this be a great idea for Valentines!
This card is very special to me for many reasons…it is from a Demonstrator that lives in my area and we were at a local flower nursery last Spring and she came up to me and re-introduced herself to me….(it has been years as she used to work for the dentist I went to) This as such a huge surprise and it truly touched my heart!
Another thing, Robin used a clear envelope to mail it and WOW – I felt so special and it has taught me that I need to use them to mail cards….it certainly makes a fun statement!
Now this FUN, you better bet that I will be CASING and also "snatching" this great idea (Hannah would love it during Exams)….the card is a bit longer than an A-2 envelope but I am going to put my thinking cap on and post about it for all of us to case!
Chris is also a PAL and always, always makes me smile! It truly would be a gift to meet in person as I know that I can always count on Chris's comments to brighten my day!
Now does this make you smile or what! I feel so bad that the pictures do not do it justice but I am in awe with how Cathi was so bold to put such unique and vibrant colors together…..here comes a woot-woot!
The 2nd one is better so I hope that you can "take in" all of the vibrance – I keep looking at it and say – "I need to get out of the boring box"….
Well I hope that you have enjoyed this parade of beauties as much as I have enjoyed receiving them…guess what – I still have some more!
We haven't talked about dear Rosie lately….here is her up date -the "Cone of shame" is off and she is my trusty companion that sits on the back of the sofa watching over the family room while her brothers are on the floor…..what does she think she is….a Princess?
Until tomorrow!
More fabulous cards and thanks so much for sharing. There is def. no lack of talent out there and you are so blessed to have so many caring friends who are sharing it with you. Thanks so much for the Rosie update….. She has to be one of the most darling pups I have ever seen and to think anyone would not treat her like the princess she is just breaks my heart. I am sooooo happy she found her forever humans! Happy to hear that the pig continues to make things interesting too. You have quite the menagerie, you lucky gal. Keep healing and blessings to you!
Beautiful cards! I don’t shop much. That said, I’ve been wondering what those round colored things were. LOL it’s true that pigs eat anything!
Glad you’re healing well. Naps are wonderful, indeed. Enjoy them while you can. Hugs Jess
Good Morning Susan,
I’m still hoping to chat one of these days. How are you feeling? Did you ever get a hard cast put one? This weather is so treacherous and more is coming.
Your cards are really beautiful and very thoughtful. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

Thank you also for your little Rosie update, she looks just amazing and totally happy enjoying the sunlight. And of course she thinks she is a Princess, just look at her!!!!!
So much deserved love was sent your way!
Rosie looks just like our rescue…”Rascal”. Rascal is an apricot SNOODLE we think…9 lbs. Do you know what Rosie is a mix of? Ours is a love, just like Rosie! So glad you are feeling better. NAPS are good!
The cards are gorgeous but what is even better is that you are feeling well enough to blog again!!!! You need to listen to John Tesh….NAPS are the best!!!! That’s how I stay up so late. LOL

Your little Rosie, is a little cutie pie. Aren’t our pet DOGS, the greatest.
love the card ideas…and keep healing…the ideas made my day as I am making get well and thinking of you cards…thanks so much…
and naps are truly under-rated…so indulge….and heal faster
When SU had the “lips” stamp I had to have it for this card! You can also put a gift card on the inside of the card. That was the last one I had made up so I will look up the measurements for you to make into a smaller one. Not knowing if you used K-cups or regular coffee I opted for the variety I sent.
Thanks for the update on Rosie – I meant to tuck in some treats but was in a hurry to go mail the box.
Hope you and Jeanie had a great time! Hoping for you to break your record and have a post tomorrow! Take two naps if need be! Love seeing all your great cards and gifts! Clear envelopes – how cool!
Beautiful, thoughtful cards! Thanks for sharing! My daughter’s dog (half lab- half German Shepard) seeks out and chews up any kind of Chapstick – I guess he and Daisy Mae have similar taste! Lol! Glad you’re feeling better – naps help you heal – hang in there!!
I just came into my craft room to make a get well card for my niece. Saw your post and there was all the inspiration I needed. Welcome back, enjoy naps while you can, keep healing, and give Rosie a hug.

I wish you a speedy recovery, love all the darling cards you have been getting and I want to thank you for rescuing little Rosie. She is absolutely adorable and I have been watching her progress, you and your family brought her back to life again. I love that you love animals as I too adore them! Best wishes Susan to you and yours!!
