Another Blog To Check Out...

It just dawned on me that I subscribe to another blog that I haven't shared with you, so without further ado, let me introduce you to Paperlicious. I love the humor of the author, and the cards are stunning. Her address is http://paperlicious.typepad.com/ and I will put a link under Blogs Of Note.

Here is another card I recently made:

All images by The Angel Company

I apologize for the blurry scan, but the image is stamped on acetate, the colored on the reverse side with alcohol inks. The acetate is attached with brads, and it doesn't lay flush on the scan bed, so it didn't scan clearly. But you get the idea.

For those of you who tuned in yesterday and learned of my brother's health problems, I can report that he had the heart catheterization, and the heart doctor put 2 more stents inside 2 of the stents they already implanted previously. We'll see how he does with this. The next step will be a bypass. Personally, I think they should have done the bypass when the first 2 stents didn't work properly, but then, I didn't get the medical degree and I don't make the big bucks. So....thank you for your prayers. We really appreciate them.

I'll be checking in again tomorrow. Until then, happy crafting...

Good morning!

Good morning to you! It's Wednesday...we are halfway through the week! Woohoo!! (Can you tell I live for weekends?)

Have you noticed the blogs listed on the right side of the page? Take a few minutes to check them out. Lots of inspiration and beautiful work. Also, check out the links section...templates and other resources.



This card was made after being inspired by Michelle Zindorf and her tutorial on her blog, Freedom in Creating (http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/). It's not complete yet; I need to trim it down and mat it and put it on a card base, but you get the idea. The sentiment stamp is from The Angel Company, and the shell stamp is from My Paper Moon (http://www.mypapermoon.com), and is one of 3 shells in a series.

I will be busy at work for the next little while (and possibly up to 2 months). My brother Steve, who I work for, had 2 stents put in last March. In December, he was having heart pains, they re-did the stress test and the heart catheterization and determined that he was clogged up again and put in 3 more stents. Now, here it is March again and he's having more trouble. So, this afternoon he's going to have another catheterization to see what's stopped up this time, and the heart surgeon will go from there, but his Internal Medicine doctor has already told him no more stents, so we will have to see what happens. So, if you are a praying person, your prayers would be very much appreciated right about now. With him gone from the office, I will be responsible for all the office work.

Talk to you again soon....
