Hidy Ho Stampers,
Well I'm so excited to let you know that Isabella is PLUG FREE!!!! Her oxygen was taken off, her Bili-Blanket was taken off and all the other cords and plugs were taken off. The only thing she has left is her port so they can continue to give her the antibiotics she needs!!!! She is getting so much better and she loves to snuggle with her mamma and daddy!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your prayers, they worked (and fast)!
mamma before the gagets were taken off
proud and happy daddy! She LOVVVVVES to snuggle!
They are still in the NICU but that is becuase of her infection.
Whew….that's a lot of worrying. But keeping me busy is my stamping. I love to stamp and tomorrow is the first day we can order from the new catalog so I've been making my lists. I had a steady stream of gals (and husbands) coming over to pick up their NEW catalogs yesterday. It was fun sitting down with them and looking it over together…they made their lists and handed me orders…I think they are as excited as I am. Remember to check in tomorrow for all the prizes I will be giving away for the FIRST DAY OF CATALOG orders. FUN FUN!
I bound everyone's book for them! It's nice to be my customer!
So I needed a card for Megan's mom and dad (the other grandparents) and this is what I came up with!
Cuteness plus!!! don't you think?
Blushing Bride and Baked Brown Sugar!!
I love to toot my own horn! :0)
Here is a close up so you can see the pearls.
and here is a side view
(okay okay so there are a lot of picures of the same card
but when you try on a new dress, don't you look at the front,
then the back (of course) and the the side!!!)
Well it's the same with cards…they have color, style and curves
that NEED to be looked at from all angles!!!
Okay what is the uniqueness about this card? Look at the ribbon. The 3/8" Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon was dyed. I used a finger dauber and dragged the ribbon over the ink pad to get the color. Do this first before you start the card because it will take a little while for it to dry. I use my pink gloves so I don't get my fingers all ink. Okay Okay so I'm somewhat of a Diva sort of but not really! :0)
just drag it along the ink pad
Since we are on the subject of ribbons, I thought I would show you one of my Super Simple Videos. It's all about Wrinkled Ribbon! Watch and let me know what you think if you are viewing this in your email inbox, click here to view it on YouTube…
Okay, I hope you learned a little bit today!!!

I always forget that you can dye the ribbon absolutely any colour you want!!!!!!
Love the pink gloves – they so match the card!
