I am a very restless kind of person, perhaps it's the ADHD.. or something, but I have a hard time with processing my time and emotions, so this week has been a challenge since hubby has been off. YIKES.. everything I wanted to accomplish didn't really happen. You see I have a list but I'm not able to do the things I once did, and well it's a lot for one person to do alone, so I guess I set my expectations a bit to high. Needless to say I've been extremely crabby to live with because of this. So I got myself busy by stamping this here card that I will submit to the challenge at:
I also thought I'd try my hand at painting rocks. Apparently that's all the rage to hide them around town. So we will see what happens. I thought I'd share a picture of those here too. I have a hard time waiting for the paint to dry, before writing on them.
The stamp sets featured in today's card are:
Stampin Up~ Hello Friend
Stampin Up~ Garden in Bloom
I am pretty pleased with this square card, even though I had to consult with youtube to figure out the dimensions of a square card, my first attempt was not so good. UGH.. I'm embarrassed to say I wanted the 5 inch square, however I went about it all wrong, and I'm so thankful for stampers who know what they're doing and giving dimensions.
I added a few little embellishments to the flowers, and I added a bit of washi tape to give it a more finished look around the edges that I masked off to stamp the flowers. I really like the vibrant orange colors and the cute little bee made my day.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping.
What a bright and cheerful card! This would definitely brighten up the recipient day! I know what you mean about making lists!! I'm lucky if a get one or 2 things done for the day anymore. God is definitely teaching me patience! Your rocks are so cute. Jennifer and I will have to make some. People put them all around town and on the hiking trails.
