Hi Everyone. Happy Thursday. Yay… it's almost Friday!
I hope you are all having a great week so far and managing to stay cool! Tonight, I am SOOO late with my post!!!
I seem to be hooked on the layout for tonight's card! I think I might just need an intervention. 🙂
I really wanted to play around with Wisteria Wonder and the Love and Care set. I love it paired with Elegant Eggplant and Lucky Limeade. This was another card I made for OWH.
Oooooo… and talking about the OWH card drive. I have a huge shout out for Beth tonight. I received another packet of wonderful cards from Beth. Beth has supported every one of our OWH card drives…. WAY TO GO, Beth…. you absolutely rock!
Also, I heard from Andrea tonight… she also has cards on their way…. I can't wait to receive them. Thank you so much to all of you who have already sent me cards…. and to those of you who let me know that you have cards in production 🙂
Here's one of my contributions:
I love the striped paper with just a little border of the Lucky Limeade. Since SU released Wisteria Wonder, I have discovered Elegant Eggplant!!! It wasn't a color I used very much, but I really love it with WW. The other thing I have recently discovered? Naturals White card stock. Yep… How on earth have I gotten thru all these years without using it! 🙂
Card deets:
- Card stock: Naturals White, Lucky Limeade, Elegant Eggplant
- DSP: In Colors Patterns Pack
- Stamps: Love and Care
- Inks: Elegant Eggplant, Lucky Limeade, Versamark
- Accessories: Wisteria Wonder ribbon
On a personal note:
Well..we are really excited about the floors! Now we just need to work out how long it is going to take them and just how much it is going to disrupt our daily lives. In addition to the new hardwoods on the main floor, we are going to be finishing up our master bathroom – I am really excited about that, too.
I don't know about you, but sometimes a girl just needs to revel in a warm bath, with dim lighting and just….. relax. When I'm stressed there really is something incredibly relaxing about lying in a tub – it must be that who back to the womb thing :-) So, I have new tiling to go around the bath (to match what we did in Lou's updated, snazzy, shower), a brand new spa tub and new faucets. I really can't wait!!! It's wonderful to get housing projects finished. Rach and Jodi know all about that… Rach with her brand new laundry and updated bathroom, and Jodi with the great new floors she spoke about in her comment on last night's post! Then…. there is Adelle, whose bathroom is, she tells me, a really good reason to stay put and not move! I can absolutely understand that!
As always, thank you for visiting my blog. Prayers and hugs to those who need a lift tonight.

Lovely card Jaydee . . . I love Eggplant CS with Old Olive and for a really clean cut just WW.
Thanks for sharing with us. You are getting that house ready for a cozy retirement : )
Have a great weekend!
I’m glad the cards arrived safely Jaydee. I am also glad that you give us the chance to do these cards for our troops.
Great card again today. I am finding that Versamark on the normally “blank” part of the card really adds a lot! Love the ribbon too!
Gorgeous card! I love the layers & the stripes. The eggplant & wisteria wonder are so beautiful together. How great to have a wonderful relaxing master bath. Would so love to redo ours & create something more spa like. It was painted a beautiful relaxing blue/green last year that made us want to keep going & do tile & the works. One day. So great to have a spa at home. Did forget to mention that while you work on the wood floors, the whole house will be full of DUST. I mean everywhere. Don’t even try to keep up with it, just wait til it’s done. It just may drive you nuts for awhile. Question to clarify about the OWH. These cards are sent to the soldiers so they can then send them home. Is that right?
This is beautiful! i love the colors and the large tag on the front of the card.
I love theses colors together. What are you using for the “scallop”? It is so lovely and understated. The floors will be lovely! Home improvements are such fun when all is finished.
Purple is never one of my go-to colors and looking at this card, I can’t figure out why. This is so beautiful. I love the pop of LL with the EE and WW.
Oh I can’t wait to see your bathroom! I too love a good long soak (haven’t had one by myself in YEARS–kids, gotta love ’em) with candles and a good book. I love adding hot water when the water gets a bit too cool and can stay in there all day. Ahhhh.
I don’t have many cards for OWH, but I do have some for you. I just don’t have as much time to stamp as I would like. :sigh:
