Mother's Day Notebooks

All I can say is "Thank goodness this week is over". 

I was in bed for 4 days. I have not been so sick in about 10 years and it better not happen again for a very long time!!  I don't make for a very good patient.

OK, partially it was my fault because I didn't get the flu shot last Fall, so won't be missing it again this Fall. Oh well, hindsight is what 20:20?

I did miss out on Mother's Day though.  I can't say I missed it entirely because we will be celebrating likely next weekend. 

Here are 3 Notebook Holders that I made as gifts...2 have gone, 1 hasn't, so Tina if you are reading this stop right now!!  I know you won't heehee

Apothecary Art Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone and welcome to my Apothecary Art sneak peek from the new Occasions Mini that will be available to order from on January 4, 2012.  This stamp is only one of the many fabulous products that will be available.

 

The Apothecary Art image is from MDS which I printed on Whisper White cs and then used my markers to colour and cut out the image to incorporate into my card.  I didn't even have to wait for my pre-order to get here.  How great is that...!

This card is for my niece's birthday 2 days before Christmas so I try not to use any Christmasy images, however, with a few tweaks and some other types of embellishments, I could see this image being used for a Christmas card. - Talk about versatility.
