AESTAMPS A LATTE

We are off to Florida tomorrow morning and I sneaked a card in today ...that I really would like to get out before we go. My brother won 1st place in a contest called "the taste of elegance" in Kansas City. He is moving onto nationals in May to compete further!!! He is a great chef and a wonderful brother. I am proud of him ! Although this card is kinda corny...for congratulating him, he will think its cute and corny. :] See you all in a week! Thanks for stopping by!!! Annette

Here's another version of the Baja Breeze Fifth Avenue Floral card I posted a few days ago. We made a card just like this last night except that we used Pale Plum instead of So Saffron. The rest of the card is the same. Thanks to Jenny for helping make the other projects for our club members who couldn't make it!!! I really appreciated your help!!! :) Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by! Annette

Here's another card I made with a leftover piece of certainly celery sitting on my messy table with a left over flower piece (the white one) I was experimenting with for a workshop. Can I just say again how much I love this set???? It is such an easy set to work with!!!! And who doesn't love the butterfly die??? Gotta have it! Have a great day, Annette

Here's another card I made using the AWESOME Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set. I am thinking this is my favorite from the new catalog thus far.

I took Zachary (and Josh) to the Doctor yesterday and Zachary has bronchitis , and Josh probably just has what Zach had originally started with...but Josh is still complaining of a sore throat even though rapid strep test came back negative. Hopefully this will be it, and life can ...

I knew I was going to love this set the first time I saw it. I have made several cards the last few days getting ready for my workshops next week. Take a close look at the leaves of the flower. Do you know what stamp it is???? Give up??? Its part of the flower pedal. Pretty cool, huh?

My little guy has been sick since last Thursday night...today is the 6t h day. My poor little guy. Fever, chills, coughing, tired. Not fun. I hope today is the last day of being sick.
