Monday and I'm back to posting

Hello friends,

I didn't realize that I've been gone for a whole week of blogging! My goodness is that terrible! LOL So the truth of it is that I've had an ongoing nuisance with my lower back and hip, not to mention a small sprain in my thumb that prevents me from gripping things for long periods of time... like my markers!!!!!! I started going to the doctor two weeks ago (and still going) and I've been a bit mojo-less. I promise it has come back and I'll be providing some inspiration for you all. Stay tuned! Until then catch these tidbits.

I have a couple of posts this week with Stampendous design team and May Arts Ribbon team. Oh my word, that company can put out some fantastic ribbons. You can start hopping with the teams today by going over to Stampendous blog. I'll be back on Tuesday with something to share and more links to hop along. There are prizes!!!!!

It's a new month and Stampendous is going Fabulous Floral! Join the designers as we challenge ourselves to get as Floral as we can! Here's a card I made that will make an impressionistic mark. I've kept it simple but dazzled up the petals with a sprinkle of Chunky White Embossing Enamel! The detail is in the center, though. I've added dabs of Beacon's glue and sprinkled my own mixture of Fun Flock from the Over the Rainbow kit. (There might be a photo series coming up on how I did this card, but I'm not going to guarantee it either. (It's a busy season around here.)
