Hello Sunshine!

Hello Sunshine! I wish, another gloomy winter day in northwest indiana. We finally got some snow yesterday and it seems people forgot how to drive in it.  I usually shy away from black backgrounds, favoring black as an accent color.... but i enjoyed challenging myself to try something outside my comfort zone. Speaking of comfort zones, off to bed now after a grueling day... I'll be back later to check out all the other bloggers cards. Nite, Sam

thank you

Hello, finally getting around to posting this.... it's been a very busy week.  This is my take on the thank you challenge @ Cas-ual Fridays.  Off to bed early, after a 11 hr work day, then a wake(2nd in 2 days) ...nite all, Sam

Thank you

Hello, hope your monday is going well. Busy last few days here, as I had my sons in the regional chess tournament, went thrift shopping with hubby(found tons of great books CHEAP for me and the boys) , wardrobe shopping for hubby's new job(after almost 4yrs of unemployment) and mass card making..... I really could use a nap. Have a great night... off to work on some more cards, sam

Wishing you a day filled with good things.

Hello, an early post for me today. I have a half day today , so i wanted to get a few things done early so I can tackle the Christmas tree later, finally taking the last one down. This is my take on this weeks color combo @ Play Date Cafe. Now I'd better get ready for work, later. Sam

A last minute Make it Monday.....

Hello,  here I am last minute for the challenge. ..... but early for the birthday card. I have loved this technique since I first saw Betsy showcase it. I created this card for my nephew John, as you can tell he'll be 11 on the 9th.  Now off to finish the laundry...nite all. Sam
