Happy Mail...

 I have been very blessed to find all these lovely cards in my mailbox these last two days.

First up is a card from a dear on line friend that I had the privilege of meeting in person because of us both blogging.  (So glad I found blogland).
Carol's wonderful cards can be found here...

 Next Up...is a card created by the delightful, talented, Darnell...
No, Darnell did NOT send me a card with the sentiment upside down.
It was me who photographed it upside and didn't even realize it till I went to post it...
If you would have seen our (Not  so great week  last week) and my problems with my camera
and computer before I posted these cards....smile...   You would understand!  Maybe I can
blame it on yesterday's.  HEAT!  It was unseasonably warm and we don't have Central Air and
got caught off guard with no air conditioners or fans in windows yet!  (needless to say we didn't sleep too well last night...  (maybe that's why I'm more fuzzy headed than usual)?

Merry Monday...use Kraft

 I made the above card for this week's challenge at Merry Monday.  This week's challenge is to use Kraft on our card.  My background paper almost looks like it's white...but trust me it's Kraft.
The challenge can be found here...

I made my card using a  DreamWeaver stencil, and Tim Holtz paint.  

The card above was a Quick card...(like those)  I used a HeartCreations die to cut out the lace border (borrowed the die from my hubby).  Added a flower embellishment from Kaisercraft!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today,
Blessings,

NBUS #11

 I Made the above card as a birthday card for my sister.  Since I used a NBUS stamp...
I'm going to add to Darnell's Boo Boo/NBUS challenge.
The Link to Darnell's challenge can be found here...(and also a link to her blog on my
sidebar...)

It's been such a busy week that I didn't think I would get the time to enter the challenge...
However, I received a call tonight from my Mother's friend, about going to lunch tomorrow
to celebrate OUR birthdays.  My Mother's friend always treats us to lunch for our birthday...
(My Sister and I...) every year...Usually at the end of April because all three of us
celebrate our birthday the last week of April.  I thought I had more time to get my cards
done for the birthday luncheon...surprise, It's tomorrow instead.  So that meant I had to
quick throw a card together for my sister...(Already had my Mother's friend card finished
It's the one in my last post...(I also have the link to the card fold I used for these cards in
My last post.)

 This shows the little gifts (That I purchased) that I am giving to them...The lunch get together is NOT supposed to be about gifts...but I always have to come up with a little something anyway. (They're just note pads) My sister has a cat, and Carrie loves Pugs!

Speaking of NBUS,  I was able to go to a stamp show last week...and the above pic is a photo of the goodies that purchased at the show. ( and also some were purchased at Hobby Lobby after the show)  Look at all that NBUS.  Hopefully, soon it will all be used.

I know I have made many boo boos in the last year...but did not save the cards...In the TRASH they went.  
But I sort of had a boo boo On Thursday.  I was trying to get a card together for this week's Merry Monday Christmas Challenge.  I stamped an image that I wanted to use...but it did not turn out very well, and I did NOT have time to do another one right away...  So I cleaned the stamp and put it away.

The next day, on Friday, I went looking for the stamp that I was going to use for the card, but it was NO where to be found.  I even had my poor husband helping me to look...  on the floor, in my craft room, in the kitchen (I had cleaned it at the sink)  It had me a little upset because it was a NBUS stamp.  It's depressing to lose something...but even more so when it's the first time you used it.

Well, the happy news is that I found it...TODAY.  Too late for the Merry Monday Challenge, but so happy that I found it.  Where was it?  Stuck to the BOTTOM of a box in my craft room.

I have done this before.  I was sitting at my table crafting and could not find my acrylic stamp...Again, I looked all over the table, on the floor, etc.  Only to find it much later stuck to
the bottom of my score pal.

Thank you for visiting my blog today...
Blessings,
Jill
PS.  I hope to be back later to comment on the other cards in the challenge.
