Petals-A-Plenty Rich Razzleberry Card

Hi All -- I saw this card by Terry Blais while searching for ideas for my Stamp-A-Stack and just had to make it.  I made minor changes.  It is clean, simple and easy!  The guests that came to the SAS like all the cards they made, but were so taken with this one.  Thank you, Terry!  Half of those there just had to have the makings for it!  If it intrigues you too, let me know.  I would be happy to place an order for the makings for you!  And, I have an order going in on the 15th, so let me know!

Rich Razzleberry Cardstock, 8-1/2"x 5-1/2" and 3"x4"

Where have I been?

There is no short answer to this question, so I will just list the things that have been going on here.  It makes my head spin!

• House hunting every day for the past three months...no joke! 
• Trying to figure out what is going on with food intolerences for myself.  My kids have food allergies.  I have intolerences that are effecting everyday life, my mood, migraines, and other health related issues.
• Last week...put an offer in on a house and had it accepted
• Last week...my husband was in an accident in morning rush traffic.  The insurance company has totalled his van and we are disputing that...OY!
• Packing up our current house to fix it up, patch it up, stage it and put it on the market as soon as we can and preferabley before we close on the new house.
• Last week...packed and moved boxes.
• Last week...purged the house of collections and toys and books and such.....phew!
• Now.... on to repairs and sprucing up the house.

So, life has kept me busy.  Mostly with all good things, but phew, it has been tiring.  I will try to post some things later this week, so stay tuned, and thank you for checking in!

Go Confidently In The Direction Of Your Dreams -- Decor Elements

I think I have mentioned before that my mom is not a stamper, but a quilter.  And, what I see in cardstock and Designer Series Paper, she sees in fabric.  She has a few stamp sets and two ink pads, but other than that, nada....Up until now!!!  [Although, I was so impressed that she used her stamps on her Christmas card envelopes!  Go mom!] 

Well, when I was up north for Thanksgiving, I was showing the Definately Decorative catalog to my sister-in-law and a friend.  As we were chatting about the versitility of the vinal adhesives, my mom walked in and picked up a catalog.  I brought her attention to the big "tree" and the saying that it looked so great with it..."Go Confidently In The Direction Of Your Dreams" saying and birds.  She exclaimed that she had been looking for something to replace an old quilt on the wall in her kitchen and "THIS is it!"  Yaaahoooo!  Well, needless to say, she purchased them, and one of our projects during our visit over Christmas was to apply her new Decor Elements.  What do you think?  [I must admit this was the first time I have actually applied a Wall Decor Element and it came off without a hitch!  Phew!]   I LOVE IT!

From page 14 of the Definately Decorative Brochure.

Used are the medium Tree, Thoughts and Prayers and medium Direction of Your Dreams .
