thank you so much...

Well Hello There.

I'm behind...as my Google Reader almost hits the 700 mark....The weather here in the Seattle area has been challenging....snow turned into ice storms...loss of power...ugh.

So today will be hopefully catch up for me....here's a card I did when I was without power:


White card base = check
stitching = no power {grr}

If you didn't know, I do not like camping...I enjoy my modern day conveniences like power and heat.  I'm a very ritualistic girl... interrupt those said rituals and you have a cranky girl...seriously.  
So although I feel like this card looks nakey without stitching, the colors make me oh-so-happy.  The center Maya Road rub-on is compliments of my bloggie friend Jeni Allen.

I was inspired by the latest Sweet Sunday Sketch:


I'm still working on Valentine'ish cards...

Check this one out:


Dontcha love that gray chevron base?  I picked up a package at Impress...they are a fun 3.5 x 6.5 inch size!  I'm back with a vellum piece...I had an extra vellum butterfly that I embossed with my quickutz polka dot folder..the same one that I used on the lower portion of the white tag.  The tag itself seemed so lonely so that pop of red on the top is Martha Stewart washi tape:


I also glitzed up the tag by adding scor-tape and martha glitter....the pre-threaded button is Sassafras.

So today will hopefully be filled with some crafting and also some organizing of the family room:)  What are your plans?
