To Quote Sheryl Crows Song : Soak up the sun

Its not having what you want ,  But wanting what you got ..

I love this song just for this verse ..  because  who out there whats  everything?  We really need to stop to see what blessings you already have in your life …. I must say though there is NOTHING like FREE RUBBAH!!  I always want that 🙂  Yesterday  UPS stopped  by  and knowing I didnt  order anything from SU! ( Thats the only reason my UPS man stops at my house ..) delivered a  package of FREE RUBBAH from SU! YAHOO!  The set I recieved was from  the award I   recieved  this past year  for recruiting   level 1  and the free  Rubbah was the set " Much Love "   Nothing puts a smile on my face like Free stamps  and of course recieving  a Anniversary card from Gina yesterday also .. YUP   Tommorrow    Hubby  & I will be celebrating  our 18th  anniversary   But  actually  going out on a "Date " Saturday  night..Yahoo for alone time with HUBBY..

I made this card last night   really didnt have  a clue  how it was all going to turn out . I added lots of  different elements to this card .. I used  the ON BOard  accents  Flower punch out as my template for the  base part  ( paisley paper  from REBECCA DS paper ) ) and then added  a little flower from the  On board  acceents  coverd it with  designer paper ‘ Rebecca"  Then I used the  slit punch to make the  scallops  on the top and bottom  very easy to do just  line up your slit punch and  punch along the  paper  lining up each  punch  so it connects each other  But not overlapping .  I then  punched out  small circles  and added them  to the inside   flower cut out ( this also gives the scallop feel  too )  while I was making this card Hubby was watching  me over my shoulder  and he said he really liked this card .. HUMMM  Anniversary card  in the making ..  But maybe with the HEART  On Board accents ??

This morning ( remember I am up very early to get my  bones movin ) I also finished up the 1st set  of my swap cards  for  lansing  regionals ..

  This card we actually made   this past saturday at my  club meeting  and its so cute and  easy I thought I would make 10 of them  to start me on my road to  getting  as many swaps done as I can over the next 6 weeks ..  SO If I make at least 10 cards a week   I should have   a minmum of 60 swaps … Sounds great . Now I am  on a Mission 🙂

Until later .. Happy Stamping
