SURPRISE...

Hi guys. Thanks for all the sweet comments yesterday. I am so appreciative for all your wonderful thoughts and encouragements. Thanks again.

Well, it was a busy day at work yesterday and I am sure today is going to be some more of the same... So let me get to it. I actually made this card last week for the Tickled Pink Challenge blog sketch . I have just been so busy and wanted to get other things posted before their deadlines that I postponed this one. I used Amber's wonderful bow tying technique on this too as I really do love the way it looks. :O) You can watch her videos here. I just had to use Lyla from the Lil Lolita stamps from Tickled Pink stamps. She just has the biggest eyes and I wish that my hair was this straight. So cute! I also wanted to use some of the new shear ribbon that I purchased and then the whole thing just kind of came together.

I forgot that there was no mail delivery today, and I am waiting to get my new Die-namic's rolled rose die. I have never used these, but OMWord! If you want to see an exceptionally beautiful rose you can see it over on Cindy H's blog here. Just be sure to check out the second card on this post. I am telling you that you are going to want that die as bad as I do. heehee Please be sure to give Cindy some love as she has some of the cutest cards I have ever seen and she almost always put 2 to 3 cards on per day. I am telling you she is one busy lady. If you are so inclined you can purchase any or all of the Die-namics here.

Ok, I think I have been enough of an enabler for one day. Have a great all and I will talk at you tomorrow.

Hugs, Lisa G
