Another Good-Bye...


Welcome back!  It is a COLD one here in Central Alberta - winter really can go away any time now... *sigh*  I have had the kids home for two days now as yesterday school was canceled due to the cold and on Monday, our driveway was so drifted in I got stuck trying to get out!   Hopefully today will be a Happy Hump Day for all of us.  :)

It's time for me to say good-bye to another one of my amazing design teams - I can't believe that my six months with Riley over at the Color Dare are all done...*sniff*  I've had a fabulous time with all of the ladies and Riley's combos are always so much fun to work with.  So, thank you to ALL of you!  This week's combination is Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, and Basic Gray.

I dug out the Viva la Verve sketch again...and over on the Verve Stamps Blog there's a chance to win some more Verve-y goodness so go check it out:


Stamps: Sentiment from Verve  Ink: Cherry Cobbler  Paper: Basic Grey, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist, SU! DSP  Accessories:Labels Fourteen Nesties, Cherry Cobbler seam binding, sewing machine, Marina Mist satin ribbon, adhesive pearl, Snow Cap embossing folder, sponge dauber

Thank you to all of you for popping in this morning - enjoy your Wednesday and I'll be back tomorrow for a brand new 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge!
