Lexi and Her Fur-iend

Good Morning.  It is Wednesday and today is my turn to post at One Crazy Stamper.  This weekend my bff , Shari and I were talking about what type of cards we made the most of.  Turns out I make a lot of "All Occasion" cards and she made the most birthday cards.  What type do you make the most of?

Happy Saturday, my friends.  I get to spend today and part of tomorrow with my BFF and I am so excited about it.  I don't see her near as much as I would like and when we get together it is a great time.  I hope you are able to do something special this weekend too.

Today is my post for the Action Wobble blog.  The card I have to show you is totally cased from my friend, The Scrapbooking Queen.  I liked it so much that I had to make my own version because I had just purchased supplies that were similar.

Sunkissed

Good Wednesday morning.  I have some exciting news to share with you today. I have been chosen to the design team of One Crazy Stamper and every Wednesday I will be posting a project on their blog HERE.  I was introduced to this amazing scrapbook store by my best friend, Shari, and also some ladies where I last worked.  They have both a brick and mortar store and an on-line store so please check them out.

For today's card I actually had limited supplies to use that One Crazy Stamper has in stock because unfortunately I have not been there for a while.  That will be remedied soon as I am planning a trip there very shortly :) 

This sweet little image from Whimsy Stamps Elizabeth Bell Designs called Sunkissed reminds me that Spring is on its way and I just have to be patient:
