The color purple

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted .... I have been stamping and creating things really ... I just can not show you here what I have been doing yet.  Time will come though soon.

Here is a card I made for a friend's birthday using a stamp from Just for Fun.  I love the look of the realistic flowers.  It is colored with Copics and I used a Sizzix Texture Fade embossing folder for the black mat and my Scor-buddy on the white base card. I also added a clear glitter pen for accent with the ribbon.

This one was for another friend that I send out last week.  The tulip image is from Stamping Sensations. It is colored with Copics and is stamped on a Spellbinders Die with a Sizzix Texture Fade for the purple.

Our Angelic Impressions Gathering is in two weeks and I have a few places still open but will need to know today or tomorrow if you are interested in attending.  All of the information is at the top of my blog under 2011 Gathering.  I will not be able to get any sleeping rooms at this time though.  I am so loving the projects we will be making at this gathering ... my theme is practical and simple with class!  I may have to show you a few next week as a sneak peek .... do you want sneak peeks????  It is really going to be fun!!

My family room is done except for moving a large piece of furniture that I need help with .... anyone available to help me???  My decking is in the drive way and he will be putting it on next week.  This is so exciting for me .... it has been a dream of mine for so long.  I feel so guilty doing all of this when I keep hearing all the tragedy going on in the world ..... but it is started now ..... so I need to keep going .... right???  I hope everyone will come over this summer and help me enjoy it!
