Sunday with the Roses



Good morning............I'm being lazy this morning but I must say it feels great! It was a long hot week, I thank God it is over! It's the last Sunday of the month and you know what that is..........Paperroses time!!!! At the top of my blog says roses, that is the list of everyone in the group so go by and check theirs out too.

Connie was the host this month and ask us to come up with something for Christmas that we would give as a gift, 3D, so, I made another tissue box. On this one I statred out embossing the white card stock, then lightly I ran the versa mark over it and blue powder, heated that up and cut and placed on the box. I did get the instructions off SCS. Then I made my flower, stamped and colored my snowmen, cut everything out and attached to the box.

Items used are:

Postage Stamps

Happy Tue yall!!!! Ain't it grand !!!!! LOL,
My card today is one that was inspired by a newly made friend, Caroline Duncan. She's a NC gal so you know she's okay!!! I first met her at Enchanted Cottage the Friday night I was there demoing, then again on Sat when she came to the stamp show. We have since become followers on each other blogs and facebook friends. She posted a card the other day which reminded me I had the postage stamp she used. So here is my verison. I bought this stamp 3 years ago at the Winston Show when I first met Linda P and Jennie H for the first time, think they bought one like it or close to it. Isn't it funny how we remember some things. Anywho, here is waht I used to create my card.
HCPC3359 Daffy Daffodils
HCPC3360 Exotic Fuchia
HCPC3361 Semper Augustus Tulips
HCPC3388 Spring Cardinals
and of course the postage stamp which is from "Just for Fun".
Okay that's it for now, it's off to the bed again to see if I can sleep, catch ya later!!!
