Cheers to You

 Carol has made a couple of nice masculine cards to share with us this morning...any guy would love these...or use pastel colours for a more feminine touch. 

 The chocolate chip and creamy caramel colours go great with the natural twill ribbon...I love it.

Don't you just love the stamped diamond background...inside the card Carol used white printer paper to hand write or stamp a sentiment...and the scalloped square was layered to give it more dimension.

Is it cold this morning or what...I'm surprised inside my house isn't too cold...but that's because right now the wind isn't blowing all the heat out...I'll be staying inside today and trying to stay as warm as a bunny...lol...Carol thanks so much for sharing another great card with us this morning...a big thank you to everyone for droppin' by this morning...I hope you all enjoyed Carol's card as much as I did...if you must go outside...dress in layers...stay warm...and I hope you all have a stampin' good time.

I really blew a couple of my challenges last week...one I copied the wrong sketch...and on another I missed the deadline...I hope this week I do much better...I made a list this time which I will pay better attention to instead of depending on my lousy memory...lol.

Thanks for droppin' by this cold morning...I feel like winter is back compared to the last few days...plus my allergies started early this year...I've been sneezing my fool head off...and I look like I'm crying with my eyes constantly tearing...but I'm a trooper...I still get up every morning and stamp...oh boy what a sacrifice...he!he!he!
