Hello stampers!

Wow, what a cool, wet weekend here in the St. Louis area!  It really felt like fall here on Sunday!  Where did summer go?

Thanks to the weather, I had plenty of crafting time this weekend.

First, I spent a couple hours going through my MDS downloads and picking up those I wanted for my collection before they are gone.  Next step is to back them up!  If any of you are MDS users and have questions about what to use when MDS is no longer supported by Stampin' Up!, let me know.  I will send you what I have.

Next, I made a card!  This is the first card I've made in a couple weeks and it felt great to create again!  For today's card, I used the sketch for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge from Karren for my inspiration.  It's a great sketch and can be used for so many wonderful cards!

Here is the sketch:


And here is my card:

Season of Love

Hi stampers!

It's the end of a very long week for me, so I am really looking forward to the weekend!  Do you have big plans for the weekend?  I'm having lunch on Saturday with a good friend I don't get to see very often.  Other than that, oh, I don't know, there may be a football game.  We're also supposed to get some snow this weekend.  We haven't had any since November, so I guess we're due.

But first, I have a card for you from my very talented sister!  She's been on a Valentine kick, so I'm going to share a couple cards today.

A Valentine's Shaker Card

Greetings stampers!

I hope everyone had a good weekend!  Ours was good.  We had some gorgeous weather for January!  Lots of people outside this weekend.  The guy across the street even mowed his lawn today!  

A huge shout out to Nance at The Paper Players for selecting my card as A Cut Above in their color challenge last week.  You can see that card here.

Thanks to those who came to my workshop on Saturday!  We had a good time and everyone seemed to enjoy the projects!  The next workshop will be on February 21st at 1:00.  Reserve your spot today!

I made a Valentine for my card today.  It's also a shaker card.  And very easy to duplicate!
