I made this card  really starting out  with NO idea where this would go all I wanted to do is make this type of card and  use these 3 colors  and  well one thing lead into another and  this is the finished card .. I think its really BUSY But I also think a young girl would like it . My white gel pen kept  stopping on me ..Not to sure why  it kept doing that .. But  once I started the swirls   and dots there was no turning back KWIM? CS colors for this card are orchild opluence, Pixie pink. pink passion  cur base card at 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 the next layer is cut at 4 X 8 1/2 score one end at 3 1/4 and the top card is   a 3×3 card ( 3" X 6".. scored at 3" )  I did stamp the image 1st of the raccoon and the balloons and then  I traced a square around this image   with my handy  small ruler    and  when I traced  the lines  to make the square I went below the balloon line So when I cut out the sq I also cut the  tops of the 2 balloons out balloons ..  I also added a small  section on adesive to the 3×3 card to hold it shut  for its photo session Hee! Hee! I also added some purple  stickles  to the dots around the base and  what I must tell you  these glitter bottles called stickles  that are soo popular right now ..I  found  that I had bought mine over 3 years ago  I  found 6 tubs of  these   great  glitter  bottles ( yellow , pink,   white, blue,  purple , teal ) stashed in a drawer of course for safe keeping I suppose .. Its really amazing what you find when you least expect it hidden in the way back of a drawer  HUH?   Here is what this card looks like opened up..

I stamped the Hip Hip hooray its your special day on the inside of the 3×3 pink passion card

Yesterday at the knee doc I got a steroid  injection I really wanted him to drain my knee too BUT he didnt think there was enough  fluid in there  so we passed on doing that .. Even though My knee surgeon  was  good at giving me this needle in the knee MY R.A Doc is way   better at doing this proceedure..  Hopefully it will start to help  ..   

Yesterday I got some news  that My friend Gina was in the hospital  Yes Stampin Queens  this is our  very own GINA .. She was admited Tuesday  But I found out about it  yesterday ( Thanks Jenny )  anyway Me and My mom  went up to see her after my knee appointment .. They are still running tests to see whats all going on with her .. I did make her a card BUT I didnt have a chance to take a photo of it  before I gave it to her .. We laughed about her  having to get out of the hospital before Saturday Because Saturday is our club meeting Hee! Hee!

Today seems to be shaping up to be a stamping day I really need to get everything ready for my club meeting  this  Saturday night  So I will be doing  that plus maybe   FUN stamping for Birthdays cards I need this month .. At least thats the plan . Last night  we   went through Our Christmas play at church we all arrived 1 hour  early to do a run through  BUT this Saturday  afternoon 11-1 pm we will be doing  the  dress reheseral  and  finding   everyones places on  stage .. also tommorrow night we have my daughters Christmas concert .. she  will be playing the piano and of course singing . The song she will be playing on the piano is called " Winter Sonatina "  We didnt think  she may be playing since  they were wanting to cut  so much out of the  Prelude  But her piano teacher told her yesterday she is staying in the  program for her  piano solo .. YAHOO !  Alot of fun  to see the whole school  appling their gifts  for the Lord ..  Thanks for peeking in today  and  I will see you tommorrow ..

OH by the way  when we leave for vacation  to go see  the in- laws in TN I will not be able to update my blog  for that week .OH NO I know I will go through withdraws . ( unless I can  set up something on here that lets me plan  the postings  1 week Out ..) Does anyone know if we can do this  with the basic package with Typepad ? But apparently  They do  have internet  access in the boonies  Hee! Hee! (If my Father  in-law , Jodi , Michelle & Mark are reading this  they all know  I kid around with them living in the boonies  everything 45 mins  away from them OH my whats a city girl like me to do ? Hee! Hee! Chuckle  Chuckle ) But I wont have access to  my photo  files  to upload  I will have to wait &  see what I can do once we get there ..I just wanted you all to have a heads up  and not  to think I will be  gone  forever ,  even though a week from blogging will feel like forever for me   Hee!
