Good Morning & Happy Thursday Stamping Friends!

It's the end of the month so that means it's time for another Crafters of Faith post.  Our host this month is Sharon & she challenged us to use our old stash along with some new things to make our creations for today.  She also wants us to try a new technique & I do believe I met every goal this time!  For starters; every single thing with the exception of the elegant butterfly punch is OLD & my new technique  was learning how to make rolled flowers.  I think they came out pretty good even if they remind me of bird nests LOL!!!!  Please check out the rest of the girls blogs that are listed on the left side of my blog....ENJOY!!!!!

Good Morning & Happy Hump Day Stamping Friends!!

Bianca is doing much better & she's back in school today.  I am doing fine despite not having much of an appetite but I do eat soup twice a day to keep up my strength.  Brandon is the only one that hasn't gotten sick yet & I hope he continues to resist this bug!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card I made for a friend.  Her birthday actually passed while I was ill & I felt so bad for not having her card to her on time---one of my goals this year!  I whipped this together using the sketch from Fab Friday.  I love that it gives me the opportunity to play with texture....you all know how much I LOVE it & I hope she enjoys it too!  I'm also entering my creation in the following challenges:
