T

he card - a hybrid card.  This is the card I did for our shoebox club a couple weeks ago.  The doily image was printed on the computer using SU's MDS.  The sentiment (from Papertrey) was stamped.  I just added a pearl and some ribbon.  Colors are wisteria and white.  Easy! 

A birthday dinner tonight so that means a cooking day.  Off to make a cake, icecream and noodles.

Have a wonderful day!

My plan was to get some more yard work done this morning, but I've decided I need a bit of a break from pulling weeds.  So I'm going to try and get my stamp room cleaned up today - a bit of a 'need to' thing since Deb & Sherry will be here tonight to stamp.  (and at this point there's not even a tiny bit of empty table space). 

Have a great day!
