The Joys of Motherhood......


Good Late Morning & Happy Friday!

First off, let me say that life has been extremely busy getting my kiddos ready for back to school!  I didn't intentionally wait 'til the last minute to get all this stuff done but with money being tight; I had to *stall* until EVERYTHING that was needed was on sale!!  I'm actually glad that I did because I was able to save a LOT of money compared to purchases from previous years so I am a happy camper right now!!!!

I also had Kathy's workshop on Wednesday & we had a really good time!  She LOVED her gifts that I made her and I know I haven't posted any pics---give me a bit of time to show you what YOU can receive for hosting a Stampin' Up! workshop with me!   I also showcased a TON of goodies from the upcoming Holiday Mini at the workshop---everyone LOVED what they saw & we're keeping her party open until the 1st of September so they can all order from that book as well!!  If you want to get in on the fun; email your orders to me at happyscrapper2@hotmail.com

Now that you know where I've been----unto my post!  My card for today is one of the projects we created @ Diva Night this past Monday evening.  I forget what style of card it is but I really like it & will try my hand at making my own version very soon!  The stampset we used is called Flower Fest....the really cool thing about this set is every stamp except the leaf coordinates with a punch & that makes for much easier crafting in my book!! 

Well, that's it for me!  I'm waiting on my neighbor to call me about my dryer, waiting on a friend to show up to help me with a computer program & I have to pay the rest of the monthly bills sooooo I guess I'm done until Monday!!!  Thanks so much for stopping by & I hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend!!!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Supplies:  Flower Fest & Curly Cute Stampsets; Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral & Old Olive Ink; Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Whisper White & Old Olive Cardstock; Brights Collection DSP; Scallop Circle, Butterfly, Five Petal Flower & Fancy Flower Punches; SU!

This is so pretty, love the style and the images punched out. The colors go so well together as well. I fell your pain at getting ready for school, the only saving grace I have this year my son is a junior is college and doing an internship so no books this semester, yippee!!! Now my DD that is a whole different story. :) Have a great weekend.

What a cute card! I love the layering of the flowers and the texture of the stamp. The gems in the middle add that special touch of glitz.
