it's been a while

it's been a while since i've posted a card, hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving. i've been working crazy hours at sears, i was there until midnight one night, and there at 6 this morning. i'm trying to stay awake and watch dexter, i think i should set the dvr. went to a khs alumni hockey game, cody is considered an old timer now. then when out with his girlfriend for drinks. the alumni won and cody did a good job. i can remember when he was little and i told him "just think when day you will play hockey for the high school" and now it's all over and it went by soooo fast. i got the colors for this card from the color coach. the blue is not quite navy, but it looks more like ballet blue. i used poppy parade designer paper and sahara sand. i embossed the image with clear embossing powder, but it has a little dazzling diamonds in it. the image looks pretty in real life. thanks for stopping by.

christmas poinsettia

this is a card i made using poppy parade and old olive. i used the flower layer #4 die and layered some layers. i scored down the middle of each flower petal with by score buddy. the leaves are the bird wing from the bird punch from su. my daughter said that it was pretty, but i would be hard to mail. she has a point. maybe i will have to hand deliver this one. i'm working at sears at 7 this morning. i hate working in retail during the holidays. have a wonderful day.
