Warm hugs...


Well it seems forever since I last posted anything! This weather is just too nice to pass on! Mom's taxi service has been in full gear this summer, that is for sure! But I do not have any regrets as I know all too soon the kids will be on their own and not need mom as much...and I will truly miss that. Now today I did treat myself to a little Stamping Bella trip, a very quick visit, but I really enjoyable one! You know the saying" If mom's happy, the whole family is happy". And I do love my trips to BellaLand! Lots of new goodies! So from my trip came inspiration, which I have been lacking in lately. Here is my Stamping Bella Challenge Card for this week. I'm not to sure why I making wintery cards..when it is officially summer! Oh well, you have to take inspiration anywhere it comes from! This is one of Stamping Bellas new stamps! Love it! Coloured it up with lyras and added some white fun flock, some buttons and ribbon! Nothing to over the top!
