♥ U (pub'ed)

Hey there! Well, summer's quickly coming to a close. School has started (for many) and the weather's cooling off. I'm still finding myself a little swamped, particularly as we just found out that my hubster's job will transfer us all to Nashville, Tennessee, effective immediately. SO... in addition to getting all four kids started with school, I can add a deep house cleaning, minor routine maintenance repairs, packing, house hunting, and multiple appointment scheduling (movers, showings, etc.) to my list. I really despise house hunting, especially from long distance. :P And we know NOTHING about Nashville... can any of you guys fill me in? Nice areas? Suburbs to avoid? Any advice in general? And if you could just keep me (and my sanity - ha) in your prayers over these next few weeks, I'd REALLY appreciate it that, too. :)

Anyway, on to a card. This was a pub a few months ago... which means that I made it several months ago. LOL So I'm not sure I can remember exactly what stamps (sets) I used, but I do know that they're all Hero Arts. ;) It was for a "Stamping Double" assignment, which means that I was required to use at least 2 stamps on my project. Easy peasy!



As you can see, I used many... the cloud background, the bird, and the grass, obviously. I also used a speech bubble stamp and some alpha stamps for the sentiment. The bird was colored with Prismas and Gamsol, cut out, and put up on pop dots, as was the speech bubble (sentiment). I remember that I had just gotten this Hero Arts bird stamp set at the time the assignment was due and thought he was so cool and funky looking! :D Anyway, not my usual style, but still fun. :)

Thanks again for reading. I know my posts have been sporadic at best lately, and with all I have to do this month, September's not going to be much better. :( But I really appreciate those who are patient and stick with me. Means A LOT. :) XO

On a more personal note, just had to say happy birthday to my sweet daughter 'A', who turns 8 years old today, and a great big kiss to my hubby today as well, for stickin' with me these last 16 CRAZY years (yep, it's our anniversary, too). I love you both, with all my heart. You are my reason and my purpose! Every day. :) XOXO

Thanks... I hope to have more cards to share, so see you soon!
