&lt;br /&gt;
I hope all of my fellow card makers will get the chance to create at least one card today! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now for my announcement...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After blogging on Blogger for 6 years, I&#39;ve decided to have a self hosted site. My husband and I have been working on it all week and it went live the other day. &amp;nbsp;If you would like to join me in my new blogging adventures, you will find me at...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mypaperlife.com/&quot;&gt;MY PAPER LIFE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
There is no &quot;follow friend&quot; option like Blogger but I have set up an email subscription, Networked Blogs, Bloglovin and a Facebook Fan Page. You can find all those links on the sidebar of my new blog.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I hope you will join me! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Today&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Flutter By Wednesdays&lt;/a&gt; Challenge is Pixie Dust! Use lots of sparkle and include a butterfly or fairy on your project. We are sponsored by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/&quot;&gt;Sweet &#39;N Sassy Stamps&lt;/a&gt; this week and they generously provided the team with digis to use. Enter your project &lt;a href=&quot;http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;{HERE}&lt;/a&gt; for a chance to win 3 digis and check out all the DT inspiration too!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I chose &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/products/Coneflowers-and-Butterfly-Digital-Stamp.html&quot;&gt;Coneflowers and Butterfly&lt;/a&gt; to use on my card.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7eZbBtGCfBvndgEHg0YNJoEGM2TkJR1NglHEiEIfhN4LgX_GfKD3j66MR_oGQ8kMILcd0qscY6Y9ZxEoNRL-kRSNJJCuXhnmL439Qhj2inwDFKiBWAEbX6XCfsd70_oQYmdIBg/s1600/FBW208.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7eZbBtGCfBvndgEHg0YNJoEGM2TkJR1NglHEiEIfhN4LgX_GfKD3j66MR_oGQ8kMILcd0qscY6Y9ZxEoNRL-kRSNJJCuXhnmL439Qhj2inwDFKiBWAEbX6XCfsd70_oQYmdIBg/s400/FBW208.JPG&quot; width=&quot;323&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I used lots of shimmer and sparkle on my card! &amp;nbsp;I had SO much fun making it and getting messy! &amp;nbsp;I used &lt;a href=&quot;http://susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/products.php?cat=265&quot;&gt;Luminarte Silk Glazes&lt;/a&gt; to paint my image and then I outlined the image layer and mat layer with Diamond Stickles. &amp;nbsp;The background was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and sprayed with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
FASHION!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m not a fashion plate by any stretch of the imagination LOL.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Shopping for&amp;nbsp;clothes is something I do&amp;nbsp;when it&#39;s necessary, not&amp;nbsp;just for fun. However&amp;nbsp;I love to read fashion blogs &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.what-the-frock.com/&quot;&gt;What the Frock? &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;http://rufflesandtruffles.com/category/fashion/&quot;&gt;Ruffles &amp;amp; Truffles&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and I also like to pin outfits that I think I may wear or I like parts of them. So for today&#39;s prompt I took a screen shot of &lt;a href=&quot;http://pinterest.com/kreatedbykristi/fashion/&quot;&gt;my fashion board&lt;/a&gt; on Pinterest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s not a favorite but it&#39;s the best one of the bunch lol. I took it as soon as I got to work this morning. I was going to take one outside at lunch and completely spaced on it!&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TFL!&lt;/p&gt;

TGIF!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
It&#39;s been a super long week here, so happy it&#39;s the weekend!! I fell off the wagon with the SITS Girls blogging challenge but with good reason. &amp;nbsp;Our sweet Amber was quite sick and I had some long sleepless nights with her. &amp;nbsp;We took her to the vet yesterday and she is now on the mend thankfully. Hoping for a full night of sleep tonight!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I made this layout tonight for the 52 Week challenge, I&#39;m amazed that I&#39;m still in this challenge. I may not share my pages each week (lazy blogger that I am sometimes) but I&#39;m still scrapping at least one page each and every week.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I pulled out this pictures last week and decided to use them tonight. &amp;nbsp;They aren&#39;t the best as they are zoomed in cell pics but it was such a fun night that I wanted to document it for our scrapbook. &amp;nbsp;We went to Mohegan Sun on Good Friday and as we were strolling around after dinner, we came upon this awesome band. &amp;nbsp;I&#39;m hoping we can see them again and actually sit in the Wolf Den so we can see them a bit better (the lead singer was so cute! LOL!!)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Added some tape from Bella Blvd, stickers and brads from my stash. &amp;nbsp;I like how it turned out!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Today&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Flutter By Wednesdays&lt;/a&gt; challenge is the popular Anything Goes - just remember to include a butterfly or fairy on your project. Link up &lt;a href=&quot;http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; and check out all the DT Inspiration!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I found a cool sketch at &lt;a href=&quot;http://iclassygirl.com/&quot;&gt;iClassygirl.com&lt;/a&gt; and rolled with that and some of the same supplies I used on last week&#39;s card - still loving the washi tape! Cardstock is PTI and patterned paper is Authentique Delightful. &amp;nbsp;Sentiment is from a Scrappy Moms stamp set and the butterfly punch is from Martha Stewart.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Today&#39;s prompt for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thesitsgirls.com/&quot;&gt;SITS Girls Fall Back into Blogging Challenge&lt;/a&gt; is a photo prompt - a picture of what fall looks like in your neck of the woods or a picture that means &quot;fall&quot; to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are some photos I wanted to share of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?A=2716&amp;amp;Q=325228&quot;&gt;Kent Falls State Park&lt;/a&gt; from last fall.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We go every year and every year we manage to go either too early or too late and miss seeing a lot of color all at once LOL. One of these years we will get the timing right :) &amp;nbsp;We&#39;ve been checking the Foliage Network and it&#39;s still low color right now. So hopefully we can pick the right day to go this year!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for visiting!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I printed the image from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mydaydreamdesigns.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Bushel-and-a-Peck-C&quot;&gt;Bushel and a Peck Colorized set&lt;/a&gt;, it&#39;s great to have some pre-colored images on hand for quick cards! I also printed the two designer papers from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mydaydreamdesigns.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Fall-Digi-Papers&quot;&gt;Fall Papers&lt;/a&gt; pack. &amp;nbsp;I used this week&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://critterchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/challenge-134-sketch.html&quot;&gt;Critter Sketch Challenge&lt;/a&gt; for the card layout and incorporated the &lt;a href=&quot;http://thepinkelephantchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-pink-elephant-challenge-tpe167.html&quot;&gt;Pink Elephant&#39;s Chevron/Hexagon challenge&lt;/a&gt; by using chevron paper. &amp;nbsp;To add a little sparkle to the card, I used the Gold Spica pen on the leaves. &amp;nbsp;The edges of the image were inked with Amber Clay chalk ink and in place of the 3 stars in each corner, I added leaf brads from my stash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So I thought this would be a fun thing to join in on to get back into the blogging groove myself!&amp;nbsp; You can check out today&#39;s prompt about sharing your best school memory&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thesitsgirls.com/community/challenges/back-to-blogging/&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; and see who else is participating. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s been quite awhile since I&#39;ve been in high school and I don&#39;t mind admitting that either LOL!&amp;nbsp; I really enjoy being an adult in the real world, despite all the not so fun responsibilities.&amp;nbsp; Even though I was a great student, I can&#39;t say that I truly enjoyed school all that much. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I thought I would share a memory about one of my favorite teachers and her impact on my life that&#39;s still present in me today.&amp;nbsp; I LOVE to read!&amp;nbsp; I always have but in high school as a freshman, I was transitioning from young adult books to more adult reading.&amp;nbsp; My English teacher, Mrs. Petuch, had a small library in the back of the classroom where she encouraged students to &quot;check out&quot; books. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the first &quot;grown up&quot; book that I remember reading~&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Daddy&quot; height=&quot;180&quot; src=&quot;http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/covers_450/9780440207627.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
This started a lifelong love of Danielle Steel for me - I&#39;ve read almost all of her books. I own every single one of them, however I haven&#39;t read the newer ones from the last several years yet.&amp;nbsp; I am always afraid the next book will be her last and then I won&#39;t have anything new to read LOL! Silly I know!! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Thanks for stopping by today! I&#39;ll be back tonight with something scrappy to share and tomorrow with a new prompt from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thesitsgirls.com/&quot;&gt;SITS Girls&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;

I&#39;m finally trying to catch up with my blogging. I&#39;ve got several projects from the last few months that never ended up getting posted.&amp;nbsp; This is one that I found in the draft folder - it&#39;s a card I&amp;nbsp; made for a challenge back in July (and never entered! oops!)&lt;/div&gt;

It&#39;s been a while since I&#39;ve blogged about books - I got lazy about posting but I haven&#39;t stopped reading! I log everything into my Goodreads profile, if you&#39;d like to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/friend/i?i=LTM2MDM0NzYwOTU6Mzc4&quot;&gt;follow me there&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
Stuart Woods released his latest book on Tuesday and I could NOT wait to start reading it! I held off on Tuesday since it was my anniversary but once I hit lunchtime on Wednesday, I just had to start reading!&amp;nbsp; It took me about 5 hours total over the last 3 days to read this fabulous installment in the Stone Barrington series. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
Here is what &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13593568-severe-clear&quot;&gt;Goodreads&lt;/a&gt; says about the book:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
Stone Barrington is called to Bel-Air to oversee an exclusive event that will gather the top echelons of the beau monde: Hollywood starlets, socialites, politicos, billionaires from overseas. It’s a task in which Stone has a personal stake, and one that is made all the more pleasurable—though somewhat more complicated—with the arrivals of two beautiful women with whom he’s intimately acquainted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
But the grand occasion has also attracted a dangerous criminal group with sinister plans. The hunt to find them leads Stone into a complex web of deceit and misdirection, in a world where the intrigues of government intelligence collide with the clandestine machinations of the upper crust. As he draws nearer to his quarry, he realizes that the stakes are higher than anybody could ever imagine . . . and that the enemies he’s seeking might just be hiding in plain sight.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Scroll down for spoilers...............&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

﻿ &amp;nbsp; Are we clear now?? &amp;nbsp; Okay so I typically tend not to write my thoughts on books just because I like to include spoilers - not on purpose but I haven&#39;t figured out how to discuss a book without including juicy details!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Like I said above, this installment is fabulous! Lots of mystery and intrigue and I will admit that I was shocked to the twists and turns.&amp;nbsp; I tendn to fall in that la di di category when it comes to figuring things out. Mostly because I enjoy reading and don&#39;t want to wrack my brain trying to figure out who-dun-it. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I was very surprised to learn that Hamish was a double agent!! I really didn&#39;t see that one coming - here&#39;s what I&#39;m wondering, did Dick Stone know that before he died (a few books ago?)&amp;nbsp; Also did Hamish &amp;amp; Mo REALLY die in the van - I wonder if Lance Cabot really knew what they looked like and if the guys in the van could have been decoys.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m also wondering just how Lance knew that Dr. Khaul was involved.&amp;nbsp; Maybe he already had a lead on this guy? It didn&#39;t seem like Holly had given him that info. I also read very quickly and may have missed something!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am also surprised that Hamish told Kelli Keane to get off the premises - did he really want her to meet him in London or did he have a change of heart and not want to blow up 1+ million people?&amp;nbsp; I really thought the place was going to get blown to smithereens and that would be the end to the series.&amp;nbsp; I am obviously thrilled that didn&#39;t happen as I love this series but I also realize that 20 something books into a series that someday it may end....&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anxiously awaiting details of the next book!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Mike and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary this past Tuesday! We took the day off to go to Newport, RI but Mother Nature had other ideas {yet again, after spoiling us trying to go their for my bday last month}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We made the best of our day still since all that matters is that we were together {cue cheesy music} :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We started our day at the Rave Cinemas to see Finding Nemo in 3d. I saw it once before when it was first out on video and am trying to introduce Mike to all of the Disney movies so this was a good choice for a date.&amp;nbsp;The movie was super cute - my favorite is still Dory (voice by Ellen DeGeneres). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-yp8guy-Z1SxzYmvH6xKGoRCeuAPwAN5VyRgHnazYE4jCSpOugt8BoSKZE5dyGN8b1DaSNEjMD0h01Kc3JsZvUpoMuMR10xiXJDLqhAdTB7Yfqq5I0gYe6HH-fEwyNwnnzDh1Q/&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-yp8guy-Z1SxzYmvH6xKGoRCeuAPwAN5VyRgHnazYE4jCSpOugt8BoSKZE5dyGN8b1DaSNEjMD0h01Kc3JsZvUpoMuMR10xiXJDLqhAdTB7Yfqq5I0gYe6HH-fEwyNwnnzDh1Q/&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Then we went and had lunch at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pepespizzeria.com/&quot;&gt;Pepe&#39;s Pizza&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s been years since either of us has been to the New Haven location and we&#39;ve never been together.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
We had a pizza with pepperoni, onions and garlic - super yummy!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Our next stop was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thesugarbakery.com/&quot;&gt;Sugar Bakery&lt;/a&gt; {winner of Food Network&#39;s Cupcake Wars a few years ago}.&amp;nbsp; My sister introduced us to this bakery for our wedding cupcakes and now it&#39;s a favorite place to go.&amp;nbsp; My sister even works there now! She was there on Tuesday and was sweet to add the &quot;Happy Anniversary&quot; to one of our cupcakes. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnW4VOoSQCaz4nkwepdvrkeXKuIt7pKRxs-OzwiGzRuABFIiD7RfPfCff0Yg21w_T5ivrsCqTzOZZm-GVlfmUR0dOLm4H7hjfUF-W0-JxD4vXV8YL8fHuiKHaBvG58SSv0yEetyQ/&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
And finally - our anniversary dinner. Made at home by dear hubby since the weather was a bit rough to be out driving around.&amp;nbsp; I had seen a recipe for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.plainchicken.com/2012/09/chicken-ranch-pasta.html&quot;&gt;Chicken Ranch Pasta&lt;/a&gt; that morning on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.plainchicken.com/&quot;&gt;Plain Chicken&lt;/a&gt; blog, so we stopped at the store after the bakery and picked up the ingredients.&amp;nbsp; Overall it was tasty but I think next time we make this we won&#39;t take shortcuts.&amp;nbsp; We used Perdue Shortcuts chicken and well it tasted like it came from a bag lol.&amp;nbsp; We also used pre-cooked bacon and I think it would take a bit better with freshly cooked crisp bacon. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVv8QmDNyV2BQ_Ab8DGeiM46HA-WyNTYjwkr1fVuybz-_mBe59cDg8PIsD8nv8I4ZLRqpdaYdzR0h5SOTutnKTZktExm7nYt3p3z-NWYrh_V0bRgbvjw8DnfTMJHvMbWKBHftI3w/&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Sunday marks 5 years since our first date. I had Mike meet me at a fair on a Sunday afternoon and this year the fair falls on the same exact date/day&amp;nbsp;it did 5 years ago so we are going to go back there and reminisce. :)&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Time for another &lt;a href=&quot;http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;FBW&lt;/a&gt; challenge! This week we have a fun sketch by our very own, &lt;a href=&quot;http://willstampforwine.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Kathy&lt;/a&gt;! &amp;nbsp;Just remember to include a butterfly or fairy on your card. &amp;nbsp;You can enter it &lt;a href=&quot;http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is the sketch~&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiORmnDCCGITDMIIbh9d4rHTzz4EeHymYKSCvNfV83sefo_mnN64SWXvfgrc-lA0x-GRSAvHmsXnnoZknmNqiWUEkHIcOfHe8B6hRERbuGnlPegFZ8dLOM8IU5lSQ-ZD3h-hzRD1w/s1600/FBW206.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;258&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiORmnDCCGITDMIIbh9d4rHTzz4EeHymYKSCvNfV83sefo_mnN64SWXvfgrc-lA0x-GRSAvHmsXnnoZknmNqiWUEkHIcOfHe8B6hRERbuGnlPegFZ8dLOM8IU5lSQ-ZD3h-hzRD1w/s320/FBW206.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
And here is my take on it~&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik5kZ30da90vkzrMtELu49cQfPvICI0_s4kw0MzS-pLrWcbn541YvoiA0KESOGfsZEr-UbreEpGgD_ocmV4rcAahJ8XBCt88ygUuuyoIDCJXzlggOVakyOxs-2-ZC-8vgRRLPe7Q/s1600/P1010205+-+Copy.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;308&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik5kZ30da90vkzrMtELu49cQfPvICI0_s4kw0MzS-pLrWcbn541YvoiA0KESOGfsZEr-UbreEpGgD_ocmV4rcAahJ8XBCt88ygUuuyoIDCJXzlggOVakyOxs-2-ZC-8vgRRLPe7Q/s400/P1010205+-+Copy.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I challenged myself not to take the sketch so literal (by using scalloped pieces) and used washi tape for my background. I LOVE how it looks! &amp;nbsp;Different and fun! &amp;nbsp;I must get more LOL! &amp;nbsp;The patterned paper is from Authentique Delightful and I used some PTI ribbon along with two&amp;nbsp;different Martha Stewart butterfly punches. &amp;nbsp;The pretty quote is from the Verve Kind Words stamp set.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
TFL!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Here is a double page layout that I created at a crop on Saturday for the first challenge at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cutitupchallenges.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Cut It Up Challenges&lt;/a&gt;. The challenge is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cutitupchallenges.blogspot.com/2012/09/anything-goes-challenge-1.html&quot;&gt;Anything Goes&lt;/a&gt; - just include a die cut. I used circle die-namics and the new flower medley die-namics from MFT.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVVki1GB9GnXMl9IRJyCLK9XCE0yc2TA3w5cBUzyV2BzwPB2ZGIT4_2JyIe1Q-YnyYK6K_7_AtkcD2eP7f2DACVZOvIUUDFMG18k3HWsecVVtigDizDMMml5gs4UZyia91wrdj8w/s1600/P1010207+-+Copy.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;203&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVVki1GB9GnXMl9IRJyCLK9XCE0yc2TA3w5cBUzyV2BzwPB2ZGIT4_2JyIe1Q-YnyYK6K_7_AtkcD2eP7f2DACVZOvIUUDFMG18k3HWsecVVtigDizDMMml5gs4UZyia91wrdj8w/s400/P1010207+-+Copy.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The layout uses Week #228 sketch from &lt;a href=&quot;http://nutsaboutsketches.blogspot.com/2012/08/blog-post_27.html&quot;&gt;Nuts About Sketches&lt;/a&gt;. This was my birthday celebration just a few weeks after we closed on our house in 2009 - before we officially moved in. It was fun to look at these pictures and see how far our house has come since then! &amp;nbsp;Patterned papers are Imaginisce - All Kinds of Happy and Bazzill cardstock.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
TFL!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Today&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Flutter By Wednesdays&lt;/a&gt; challenge is to use &lt;b&gt;your favorite color along with a butterfly or fairy&lt;/b&gt;. &amp;nbsp;This week we have a sponsor ~ &lt;a href=&quot;http://papermakeup.com/&quot;&gt;Paper Makeup Stamps&lt;/a&gt;! One lucky winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to use on PMS digi images. &amp;nbsp;Enter your creation &lt;a href=&quot;http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;{HERE}&lt;/a&gt; and check out all the wonderful DT samples too!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PMS was kind enough to provide the team with images to use, however I chose to use something from my vast collection of PMS. &amp;nbsp;I chose to use a WordArt for my card - &lt;a href=&quot;http://papermakeup.com/product.php?id_product=693&quot;&gt;Sing, Love, Dance, Live&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgihtKfPBllf0oq22clzSlqSMzQ23BxeVIZbFM7Z_GWpJx5SyzmqT9x5Q7FTXuniVq-7BuWfoXqdrzQpITgoETgaBNCcxYTiWKmw7IuRaPTGHiVVtDKMHUvZNNhliMwi7HROqCbAg/s1600/FBW205.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgihtKfPBllf0oq22clzSlqSMzQ23BxeVIZbFM7Z_GWpJx5SyzmqT9x5Q7FTXuniVq-7BuWfoXqdrzQpITgoETgaBNCcxYTiWKmw7IuRaPTGHiVVtDKMHUvZNNhliMwi7HROqCbAg/s400/FBW205.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And some long time followers might be wondering when my favorite color changed from pink lol. &amp;nbsp;Last winter I fell in LOVE with some butterfly material at Joann&#39;s. &amp;nbsp;It&#39;s black with white, yellow and grey butterflies. &amp;nbsp;It has yet to be turned into curtains for my scrap room but I&#39;m hoping my mom will be able to make them soon. &amp;nbsp;I plan to repaint my pink craft room grey in the next few months and add black/white accents and pops of color. &amp;nbsp;This Authentique paper is some of my favorite - its from the Blissful line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My card was made using this week&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeling-sketchy.blogspot.com/2012/09/f-sketchy-24.html&quot;&gt;Feeling Sketchy&lt;/a&gt; sketch ~ it was the perfect starting point for my WordArt!&lt;br /&gt;

Just a few more days til the weekend, yes I&#39;m already counting down LOL!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I&#39;m sharing my card for this week&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Flutter By Wednesdays&lt;/a&gt; challenge. &lt;b&gt;This week we have a birthday themed challenge - just remember to include a butterfly or fairy on your project!&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;You can enter &lt;a href=&quot;http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; and check out all the DTs card on the FBW blog too!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For my card I used another from the large pile of &lt;a href=&quot;http://susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/&quot;&gt;SCACD&lt;/a&gt; stamps I cut apart on Monday ~&lt;a href=&quot;http://susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/proddetail.php?prod=SLS-028&quot;&gt; More Celebrate Cake&lt;/a&gt;, isn&#39;t it cool? I love it!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For today&#39;s card, I am using the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mydaydreamdesigns.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Sweet-Christmas-Wishes&quot;&gt;Sweet Christmas Wishes&lt;/a&gt; set, it comes with the cupcake and the sweet sentiment. &amp;nbsp;I just {love} cupcakes and this one is especially yummy. &amp;nbsp;I had a great time coloring it (except for discovering my R24 marker is bone dry!!) I added cut apart a second cupcake to add the holly leaves by themselves as an embellishment.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Today I&#39;m sharing the first project I created for September. &amp;nbsp;Yesterday I started cutting apart all of my rubber stamp sheets from &lt;a href=&quot;http://susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/&quot;&gt;Susana&#39;s Custom Art and Card Design&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;While I&#39;ve used several stamps I bought from there, most of the stamps I bought on sheets just stacked up (I know shame on me!!) &amp;nbsp;The ones I cut apart so far have been stamped and then filed into a 3 ring binder (my new method of stamp storage). &amp;nbsp;I had a pile of stamped images on my desk this morning and decided to make a holder for them using the &lt;a href=&quot;http://mytimemadeeasy.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=7_5&amp;amp;products_id=90&quot;&gt;Slip Cover&lt;/a&gt; template from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mytimemadeeasy.com/&quot;&gt;My Time Made Easy&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;I made one a few years ago and it&#39;s starting to show its age from being toted to crops.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjew9_wHY1-cobeGASTuEYNr2dM1EZZY0Ayjp1wva4_VH9R5G0EZJt2gYs0Fb-nXjNnDdD9oRgjeCYETGKiilhvDlVGpcEKWjPm94NXlwX2VHKmRBviYgXI2VKhqdrV9axEWFdc_Q/s1600/Mariposa+closed.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjew9_wHY1-cobeGASTuEYNr2dM1EZZY0Ayjp1wva4_VH9R5G0EZJt2gYs0Fb-nXjNnDdD9oRgjeCYETGKiilhvDlVGpcEKWjPm94NXlwX2VHKmRBviYgXI2VKhqdrV9axEWFdc_Q/s400/Mariposa+closed.JPG&quot; width=&quot;326&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First I stamped &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/proddetail.php?prod=SLS-006&quot;&gt;Mariposa from the Eyes of Beauty and Dreams Collections&lt;/a&gt; on a piece of Copic Xpress cardstock. &amp;nbsp;I then stamped the flowers from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/proddetail.php?prod=cm4scacd-028&quot;&gt;Fall Flora Fairies&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/proddetail.php?prod=cm4scacd-047&quot;&gt;Spring Flora Fairies&lt;/a&gt; collections. &amp;nbsp;Next I stamped the butterfly (not sure which collection this came with). &amp;nbsp;I colored all the images and made the grass with my copic markers. &amp;nbsp;I finished off the images with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/proddetail.php?prod=Notions-27&quot;&gt;Crystal Stickles&lt;/a&gt;. I added ribbon and buttons from PTI along with some brads in the button holes from my stash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a view of the open box~&lt;br /&gt;

Woohoo!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The challenge at &lt;a href=&quot;http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Flutter By Wednesdays&lt;/a&gt; today is to create a card with a butterfly or fairy and decorate the inside of your card.&lt;/b&gt; Fun!! &amp;nbsp;I always love seeing the decorated insides of cards but rarely take the time to do it myself so this was a great challenge for me :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I decided to make a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/gate_fold_card/&quot;&gt;Gate Fold&lt;/a&gt; card using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/gate_fold_card/&quot;&gt;THESE&lt;/a&gt; instructions on Splitcoast Stampers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Here is Day 24&#39;s Christmas card - &quot;Anything Goes&quot; was our prompt.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
I still had my Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper pad on my desk so I went in my scrap closet and found the coordinating Woolies. &amp;nbsp;A quick and super CUTE card was then put together :) &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
I used a Stampin&#39; Up punch for the sentiment which is by Hero Arts and I randomly stamped snowflakes with a stamp from the same Hero Arts set.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Any plans for the weekend? I&#39;m hoping to take advantage of some tax free clothing shopping and spend some time cleaning my craftroom. &amp;nbsp;The daily card challenge is taking its toll LOL! &amp;nbsp;I cleared off the desk on Sunday night and now it looks worse than it did before I cleaned it that day!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I&#39;m sharing a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mydaydreamdesigns.com/&quot;&gt;Daydream Designs&lt;/a&gt; card. It was created for the daily Christmas card challenge on Monday. The prompt was to use &quot;25&quot; on our card. &amp;nbsp;I had the great idea to use a bingo card from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mydaydreamdesigns.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Christmas-Bingo-C&quot;&gt;Christmas Bingo&lt;/a&gt; color set. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To make the &quot;25&quot; stand out, I decorated with a circle of yellow pearls and then filled in the rest of the &#39;bingo&#39; line with some rhinestones. &amp;nbsp;The paper is more of my Authentique Festive...I will be so sad when I finish this pad up! &amp;nbsp;I finished off the card with a crinkle ribbon bow.&lt;br /&gt;

Just a week left!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I still have several cards to share but I&#39;m not sure where I left off. &amp;nbsp;Hope to catch up on posting over the weekend :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today&#39;s prompt is to make a shaped card - let me tell ya that had me sweating! &amp;nbsp;I have a Cricut and a Gypsy &amp;nbsp;but there are several features that I don&#39;t use often enough so I forget what the little icons mean. &amp;nbsp;Once I found a shape that I wanted to cut, then it was time to read the manual. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJxcilRVzusXlvbvEkhQOsa9WcVKwikz0a4KbsT_qtO-A7IEY8j_AJ33ONiZ50d4ZQRe1wrPGcpEMU_Cl5QIl21Ih6huw5HnXTBeF-yKl_MzXT9WAjn7zJAMfESylUfmD5KhLlDA/s1600/SNC+CC23.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJxcilRVzusXlvbvEkhQOsa9WcVKwikz0a4KbsT_qtO-A7IEY8j_AJ33ONiZ50d4ZQRe1wrPGcpEMU_Cl5QIl21Ih6huw5HnXTBeF-yKl_MzXT9WAjn7zJAMfESylUfmD5KhLlDA/s400/SNC+CC23.JPG&quot; width=&quot;370&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The welding didn&#39;t quite match up but not too bad for my first attempt at making a shaped card. &amp;nbsp; The reindeer was cut at about 5 inches from the Doodlecharms cartridge and the tag was cut at about 1.5 inches from the Tags, Bags, Boxes &amp;amp; More cartridge. &amp;nbsp;I stamped a sentiment from a Scrappy Moms stamp set on the tag and tied it on with some crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot. &amp;nbsp; Added in brads for his eyes and he was declared ready to be photographed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m sharing my card with these challenges:&lt;br /&gt;
