This card uses one....wait, actually two of the stamps I just got. Don't ya just love this little sweet thing? My oldest son came over and said "Nice Gnome, Mom!" I had to laugh. Her name is Peggy Polka Dot, and I just love her.....I also got a little boy as well, I'll have to make a card with him real soon so y'all can see how adorable he is too!
Anyway, from looking at the sketch from Tracy, I knew I wanted to use some of my Early Bird PP, and so that pretty much decided my color scheme. This was such a fun sketch to do, thanks Tracy!I haven't really been all that thrilled with some of the cards I have made lately, but I really really love this one. I think I'll have to use it for my August Card Class.
And now some non stampin' stuff. Ever since I saw the picture of Tracy's new kitty, Jinxy, I have thought that she is the spittin' image, only in girl form, of our newest kitty Titan, or Tininan, as he is best known in our house. We have this crazy habit of having multiple names for our pets. Kinda crazy, but oh well. So I just had to post this picture of Titan, so those of you who have seen Jinxy will know what I'm talkin' about!



















But this card that I made for her sketch made me happy! I was able to sleep in this morning, as well as one can with 3 boys runnin' amok through the house, and came downstairs and got on the computer, and then just started stamping. This card just about put itself together. I did have some rhinestones on the little pink dots in the flower, but removed them, cuz they just didn't seem right.....can you believe I actually removed bling from a card? There must be something in the water.
Hope everyone is having a good week and enjoying summer!












Mt. Bachelor. This is a view from the Lava Cast Forrest, but we basically have the same view of it from the house we stay in, only there's hole #17 of The Meadows Golf Course in the foreground. You can't get any more beautiful than that!



Well, this is a card box I made....for myself. I knew that I wanted to use this particular pp from October Afternoon, but couldn't locate it anywhere.....everywhere I looked, it was sold out. So I found it on 

Oh.....
