SAS Mission Accomplished!

What an awesome weekend! Hope you guys all had a great one too!

My SAS on Saturday was a blast... I had a sold out crowd and actually had an overflow class Sunday afternoon too.... I was tickled to see everyone again and so grateful for their love for me (or is it their love of stamping?? humm) anywho.. we had a blast!

Here's the last few cards I was saving to show as they're my very favorites...his one was inspired by a get well card I received from Ro... same basic format, I just changed the images.

And probably my very very favorite.... what girl doesn't love her shoes and bling!

And again thanks to Ro, who came down to visit me several times 

and helped me prep this card... 

picture doesn't do it justice!

Because I knew we'd have a "whale of a time"

I wanted to make one card with the new Oh Whale set....

darling for a get well card...

It pulls open to reveal another on-coming whale!

or here's another version thank you style...

with different background Designer Series Paper...

Like the card says...

Thanks a Ton everyone for coming!

Life is Good!

Yippppeeee.... it's Friday and I made it through my first week back to work! Life is Good.. and getting back to "normal". It actually has been a wonderful week... as you know I love my job and everyone I work with... my boss, even though he is out on travel, welcomed me back with a beautiful bouquet of roses and a Welcome Back balloon.. just too sweet. Then the "gals" showed up with a darling balloon bouquet too.... very sweet. And I'm the one that owes them big time for filling in for me for the past two months.... kinda made me nervous that they did too good of a job without me!!

It's also been a great week making final preparations for my SAS tomorrow....thanks to my PT, my stamping skills are improving, slowly, but they're improving... I still can't squeeze my hands enough to do much punching, but thankfully I can easily use my paper cutter and slice and dice all those little pieces!!!

As promised.. here's a few more of the cards...

   

And here's a cute little box for the Make n'Take:

I'm saving my last three very favorites to show you 

on Monday so it's a surprise to the gals tomorrow...  

trust me, you're gonna love 'em!
