I’ve been really busy with my Stampin’Up business lately and haven’t had a lot of time to stamp in a non-business mode of mind. Well, today, I found some time!! Yeah for me!

When I’m in my non-business mode, I let myself go, my sets are not always current, my ribbon might come from Michaels, and my inspiration can be anything!

I have a rather large “favorites” gallery at SCS. These are cards that we can flag as favorites. They go into a gallery that I can pull up anytime and I don’t have to store the images on my hard-drive. SCS take care of all that storage for me and my husband appreciates that! THANK YOU SCS! One of those cards flagged as a favorite comes from Jovi. Her gallery is just full of “critter” cards. . . . kitties, hedgies, and mice are some of her favorite images to work with. This card HERE is where I took my inspiration from today. I needed to make something “warm” as the weather outside is frightful!!! Hope you enjoy!

Oh, and by the way, Karel turns 14 today! My oldest girlie is growing up. I gave her a GORGEOUS pair of earrings, Pride and Prejudice, the movie, and this afternoon I’ll treat her and a couple of friends to an expedition to Caribou. I am so proud of her amazing self-disipline, her artistic flair, and her love for family. She is always sweet to her two younger sisters and that is a treasure I will always hold in my heart.
