Someone Special!

Hello, and welcome!

Well, you all seem to like the Blog Candy.....I'm excited to see which of you gets to play with it, ha....

Before I started on the Design Team for Stretch 'n' Bubbles I snagged meself a veeeeery cute digi from the store, and have been itching to play with it ever since.....well, today I printed it off, and made a ickle card....yaaaay!

As soon as I saw the stamp, it reminded me so strongly of my friend, Elaine, that I just knew that I would be making this card for her......she'll do one of two things, when she sees it............

Laugh her cotton socks off......or murder me on the spot!

Heeeeeere she is.......ta-daaaa..........

HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!   Elaine doesn't look quite like this....but there is a resemblence .........I know for a fact that she often looks like this when she's gabbin' on the phone..........but isn't this stamp a hoot?.....it's called Let's Chat ..........bet you know somebody that this would fit.....just sayin'........

All of the papers are freebies....sorry, my USA friends........and I layered up with a pretty heart doily, a paper strip cut with a Martha Stewart border punch, a panel of more free paper, inked and layered onto white card, plonked on some flowers and leaves, and added a sentiment........pheeew!....out of breath, now............

Elaine and I have known each other for 33 years.........we've had ups and downs, laughs and tears, and have got on each others nerves more than a few times....haaa!

But she's been with me through 4 of my 6 pregnancies......Ken and I already had 2 children by the time Elaine and I met, and we lost one little darlin', .......but she's given me hugs, as well as tellings off, throughout the other 3.

There's an awful lot more I could say.....33 years of stuff,.......but the sentiment on the card will have to do, haaa!....it's from Craftwork Cards, and just seemed to fit..........

The flowers and brads are from my stash....they all live in a glorious jumble in glass jars, so no packaging, and I can't remember where I stole   bought 'em from, but I like 'em..........and popped on some of those leaves from My Craft Studio........pretty, eh?

 

And an Arteeeeeestic shot for our resident photographers, Anne and Petra....there ya go.........

Okay.......over to you to leave me some luuuuuurve!!
