Card #14 - Just A Note

Card #14 - Just A Note

The cardstock backing is an A2 Chartreuse card by Paper Source.  I cut the place for the sentiment from cardstock using a nestability and then inking around the edge.  The pattern paper is by Cosmo Cricket and then I embellished the design with turquoise stickles.  The edge of the green paper was cut using a Martha Stewart border punch.

Card #12 - Scalloped Thanks

Nestabilities are such a great tool when you are looking to jazz up a place to stamp your sentiment.  After I cut the shape, I stamped it and then stickled around the edge.  The paper is by Basic Grey.  The scalloped edge at the bottom was cut using a Martha Stewart punch.

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

I'm back into the working world (almost full-time!) and it's proved to be a busy couple of weeks.

In addition to my work schedule, I have been baking:

This is a hand pie that is made from a great little invention from Williams-Sonoma. Here is the link if you'd like to see the actual pocket pie mold. It's a quick and easy dessert. I used a ready-made Pillsbury pie crust, sliced a few apples and tossed them with cinnamon and sugar.

I have also been cardmaking:

And, oh yes...there was that little trip to New York to see my friend Martha:

My friend, Chris, and I stood outside the Martha studio to ensure that we would be front and center and guess what happened?.....

THIS IS WHAT WE SAW FROM OUR SEATS!

We were ushered to seats in the second row on the actual floor section. It was so much fun! And, it was so amazing to see all the people that it takes to make this show work.

The set was gorgeous!

And, of course, Martha was fabulous and very gracious when taking audience questions.

Happy Tuesday!
