Here is a couple of Thank you cards. Again I used the Black and white with a splash of color challenge from over at Paperwings. I am still loving the Scor-pal too. LOL The scored lines add a little extra detail. (When scoring more that once where the lines will form a corner I like to alternate the scoring direction. Clear as mud, right? LOL I did the first line on the left side, rotated my card (90 degrees) and scored the bottom, then back to the left side and ended up at the bottom. This makes the intersecting lines looks cool.)

Stamp sets- Oh how and More abundance

Paper- White 110# and Black (TAC)

Ink- Pallete Noir and Cote d'Azure

Misc- Giga Scalloped Circle punch, Coluzzle cutting system, Coluzzle nesting circle template

Scor-Pal, misc ribbon

I hope everyone had a nice long weekend. Can you believe May is coming to a close already? My mom and sister came down on Monday. They brought the kiddos a swing set. Hunter loves going high. Sister is not too sure yet. (It may have to do with her only really being able to hold on with one hand. The cast is supposed to come off next Thursday. Woo Hoo) But, by the end of the day she was yelling, "Go high!" LOL

Today's blessings-

**Sunshine**

** Peonies in bloom out front**

** Having Joy**

Until later~

Ding, ding, ding we have a winner!!!

I used Random.org to pick a winner, so do you wanna know who it is?

Well, Jessica Smith, you will be getting a package soon. Congrats!!!

My friend Natalie shared a tutorial this week for Poppin' Pastels. (Natalie's DH and My Dh have been best buds since second grade. Believe me, that has been a loooooong time. LOL He was also the Bestman in our wedding.) Anyhoo, I had not used this technique for awhile, so I had to break out the chalks and play. LOL (Be sure to check out Natalie's Cards!!)

This is my card, it is a Sympathy card sent to a sweet lady at church that just lost her husband.

Stamp set-Good Timber

Card stock- White 110#, Blue-Greens Mono pack by Bazzill

Ink- Versamark

Misc-Scor-pal, Earth Tones chalk kit, Misc grograin ribbon, Chalk spray

We are re-doing my studio. I am hoping it goes quickly. (Well, you know since we have two helpers- ages 1 & 3. LOL) I am so excited to get it all done! So, my question for you is- What is your favorite organizational tips? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Today's blessing-

**A long weekend**

**"Finding" things that had been forgotten**

**Having a little snuggle on my lap until he/she falls asleep**

Until later~

An'udder birthday? card

You are not going to believe this- I do not have a Pretty posie card today!! LOL I do have another birthday card though. I love black and white!! One of the challenges on Paper Wings this week was using Black and white with a splash of color. So what do you think? The right front of the was scored with the Scor-pal and fold back. Brads were added to hold that edge in place so the cow spots inside the card would show. Gel pens was added to the ice cream and sunglasses to make them shiny and make it a little 3D. The bikini was done with a gel pen also. Hooves, horns and cone was colored with Prismacolor pencils and OMS. I think this cow is just too cute!!

Stamps- An'udder birthday?

Card stock- White 110# and Tac's black

Ink- Palette Noir

Misc- Glaze Gelly pens, Prismacolor pencils , OMS and misc brads

Today's blessings-

** the weekend!!**

**going to a crop at the church tomorrow**
