 THought I would post one extra card for the DH today,  oooo la la, in memory of the anniverysary yesterday which was #20  WOW.  we have been together 25 years, but this was our 20th since getting married.  We always said we would go back to Vegas this year, but with covid and a trip to Turkiye...it just didn't seem like the time.

 Just a reminder that Sandra Caldwell has some great stamps over at Blank Page Muse.  Here's an adorable Nurse card that I made using "Nurse Gnome More Virus"  CLICK HERE to see her page in the store.  I added some great Turkish lace to go along with it.  I am out shopping lace in Turkiye now.  FUN FUN.  I will try and take some photos so you all can see.  I love how perfectly this lace color matches the card.

Keep Calm

 Well, it's the last Monday of April, we definitely need some coffee!  I just love the coffee and tea images from Cat's Pajamas.  Their rubber (Clear) stamps were excellent quality, but now they only do digital.  That makes me sad.  But it's their business and it's much cheaper, so I totally understand.  I will say if they made some coffee images, I would buy them.

Art=Happiness

Here's the cutest Penny Black card using some gorgeous Turkish Lace that I just love.  I think the light brown lace set that I have is probably the best one.  But, then, I am biased, lol.  I probably use more white than anything and sell mostly cream/white combos.  At any rate, I love this lace on this card.  I hope you are having a wonderful week.

Sweet Bunny

 Here's a sweet image from Purple Onion.  I just adore their tiny cute little images.  This little rabbit makes me smile.  I used paper tearing to create a tree from which the swing would hang.  Isn't it just a Delight?  I hope it brought a smile to your face today.  Can you all believe we are just about half way through the month of April?  WOW.  The kids won't be in school tomorrow, so there's just 30 school days left.
