Hello Stampers~
Sorry it has been a week since posted...
I have been busy making fall cards and hinged cards. I am so excited to show you both cards, however my camera is DEAD!!!! That is what happens when you have a 13 year old who LOVES to take pictures of herself and her friends...JUST FOR FUN!!!!
So today I am going to show you 2 items that I made for a Trick or Treat swap on SCS. I hope you enjoy.

Sorry the pics are so blurry. Not sure why!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. And I hope you found time to make something for yourself!

I will see you tomorrow with the hinged and fall cards. See you then!!

Stampin Blessings,

Michele

Hello Stampers!
I am still here. I am so sorry that I have not posted in a couple of weeks. Things have been crazy.
My grandmother has become bed ridden and does not communicate with me anymore. So I have been trying to emotionally cope with that this last week. I have also been organizing closets, and rooms the last week just to stay busy. So I apologize for not being more consistent in posting---HOWEVER, Lord willing I will have some fall cards to show you tonight or tomorrow that I have been working on for a swap.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY MOTHERS DAY AND YOU ARE BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE!!!

Everyone take care and remember to make something for yourself and to tell someone special that you LOVE them.

See You All Soon!!!!
Blessings til next time...
Michele
