What a glorious day it was today! I was off work for the holiday. I slept until 7 am (never happens), and did a few things in preparation for the trip to CHA later this week. I went to town and had lunch with my best friend! Oh yes, I DO love my days off! :-)
I made this card yesterday. Honestly, I didn't like it when I finished it, but it's beginning to grow on me a little bit. Ha! The main image is Stampendous Lucky Bee Friends . Aren't they cute???
I stamped on watercolor paper and used Tombow markers to color. After coloring the image I used my oval Nestabilities to cut and emboss all the layers.
I realized as I was making this card that obviously I'm really into glitter these days. It seems that I have used it on a lot of cards lately!
After coloring, I used my Quickie Glue Pen as adhesive for the rainbow and the bee's wings. Then I sprinkled Art Institute Crystal Ultrafine Glitter for some sparkle!
The shamrocks were made by punching 3 hearts with a Marvy heart punch, then adhering them with foam tape. The stem is just a sliver of cardstock. The center of the shamrocks is a self adhesive rhinestone . The ribbon is by May Arts .
On the inside of the card I used Stampendous Rainbow Friend sentiment. I just love what it says!
So, that's it for me tonight. Unfortunately, it's back to the salt mines tomorrow. But not to complain...I have a lot to look forward to with CHA coming up.
I am leaving Saturday morning, flying into Anaheim. I haven't been on an airplane since 1981. Obviously, all the rules have changed a bit. I spent some time on the Internet last night trying to figure out all the rules. Geez!
Tosha and Laurie are picking me up at the airport in California. Even though we email regularly and talk on the phone often, we have never met...so I am super excited! Several of my favorite people are also going to be there...so we're trying to make plans to meet up somewhere. Those include Carolyn King , Kimberly Crawford and Amy Sheffer . If anyone else is going, please be sure to let me know so we can make plans to meet! Am I gonna have fun, or what???
Let's hope it's a short week so it gets here soon. Only 5 more sleeps till then! :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Happy Holidays

I am so happy for you going to CHA! I'm glad you decided to go, and you'll probably be going every year afterward! You go girl, have yourself a wonderful time!
This card is just too cute! I LOVE how you created shamrocks with the heart punch! SO clever! The glittered rainbow is awesome too - a perfect touch to a great little card.
Gotta have the Lucky Bees now. Your card is delightful. HOWEVER, I am green with envy that you'll be in Anaheim (my old stomping grounds for 40 some years) AND that you'll be off playing with Tosh and Laurie. Please - please - please give them my warmest regards. Have fun!
