Lookie Lookie what Mr. Brown brought me today! My SAB order! I have been waiting SOOO long to finally place my SU order for the quarter....hmmm where do I start? Love Friendly Flowers (that one stamp is HUGE...wait until you see the card I just made!), Tart and Tangy (so adorable, - can see these going on some 3X3 cards! The silver hodgepodge, definitely my fav hodgepodge SU has come out with yet! and everything else! Woo-Hoo! I am going to have some serious Stamping time this weekend so I can play with all my new goodies! The felt flowers are yummy too - and check out the tin! It's like 1" deep! How cute is that? Stay tuned to see some creations with these goodies! :) 

Diggin Out of the Storm of the Decade (or so they say!)


Yep, IT came and went... 13.4" inches of SNOW....This is what the outside of the house looks like now. It was a good one to say the least, although have to admit, as bad as it was here in Madison, it could have been worse. Other places got 21". As you can see I don't have much of a backyard so we don't have much room to pile the snow up. I keep joking to mom and dad they are going to need to buy me a plastic sled, so I can start hauling anymore snow we get to the back yard! LOL! 
The storm kept me home yesterday from work. It was just not a good idea to venture out. 
Got some goodies to show you tonight....hold on!

CC152 - Have a Heart!

I pulled out this oldie but goodie set for today's color challenge on SCS (CC152) We were to use Real Red, Ballet Blue, and Apricot Appeal for the colors. The set is called Have a Heart. I think it retired back in 2004. Such a cute set! I really like the bright colors on this card. This is a great color combo for spring!

Thanks for letting me share my card with you! I'll have another one tomorrow, we are getting the biggest snow storm of the year, and I'm taking off work (aside from a meeting in the morning - they can call me!).  So I should be able to come up with something new to share...stay tuned! (and I'll let you know what the snowfall total here is in the mad-town!
