It is the 'Best Day Ever'!

Here is one of the cards I created for my February monthly card classes.  This color combination is one of my favorites.  It just reminds me of Spring & my Grandma Cox, whom I think of often & miss greatly.  

Check out some of the products used here that are from the Occasions Catalog & the Sale-a-bration Catalog.
Don't you love the white leaves on the top of this card.....it is the embossed resist technique using the Sale-a-bration Irresistibily Yours Specialty Designer Paper.  Isn't it pretty!!  And oh so easy!!  Just rub ink over this embossed white specialty designer paper with a stampin' sponge & an ink pad.  You can then make it any color you want!


(This is also my swap card that I made for Carol's monthly group- so if you are in this swap group- you could be getting this card.)

We had a great time with family yesterday!!  We enjoyed seeing our nieces- Stephanie & Michelle, sister-in-law Sheryl & great niece Katie.  We visited them yesterday morning & got to enjoy the kids all playing together.  It was so cute watching them play hide & seek.

We then took our kids out for lunch for Valentines Day at the Mexican Place in Sigourney.  Then we went back up to Deke's parents for the rest of the afternoon/evening & enjoyed our time together with family there.  We got to celebrate Katie's 3rd birthday with her last night before they all head back to Philadelphia/New Jersey this morning.  We are so glad they came to Iowa to visit all of us!!!  Katie told Uncle Deke that he needs to get horses before she comes to visit again. LOL- I doubt that happens, as he is not a horse lover, but it sure was cute listening to her tell him all about it. 

This morning I'm headed out early.  I have a stamp class this morning & then another one this afternoon.  I can't wait to see everyone & spend my day sharing & stamping!

I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
