Love Affair with Cool Caribbean......
Yes, it's true........I still *heart* my SU! Cool Caribbean - I would use is ALL the time if it wasn't for the fact I know I can't get anymore!! I still have about 3 packages left so I'm good for now. I think this color combo rocks (Creamy Caramel, Wild Wasabi and Cool Caribbean) and started to use it for my cards for the Arlington Shoebox Swap this weekend, but opted for some brighter spring colors instead! I colored the topiary image with my copic markers and did some shading with my prismacolor pencils - love how it turned out. This adorable image is from Rupa Shevda's set "Thinking of You" - it's available at Gina K. Designs.
Does anyone else out there not like Monday's as much as me??? Monday's are my least favorite day of the week! Now next Monday will be fabulous, because I will have the day off *sweet*!! Did I mention I can't wait for Friday? I think I did in my last post.......I will be heading to Arlington to stamp with some of my best stamping buddies - nothin' better than that I tell ya! I have all 45 cards cut, bagged up and ready to go. Now to finish up my door prize......
Love the "Cool Caribbean" too. I will cry when the current in-color are retired..... I want them to stay for ever. Are you enjoying the your new Typepad address? Is it easier to use than Blogger? I need more posting space to work with!!!

Kendra, I love your designs...always so beautiful. I also love the way you make your knots. I made a card this weekend using a similar knot and posted it on my blog. I hope you like it.

Mondays are actually good for me! The kids go back to school and hubby goes back to work and it's my self appointed day off!
I love your card and can't wait to see what you made for the swap! Your stuff always rocks!I'm going to the Arlington swap too!
My mantra for the week! Hurry Friday, hurry Friday!
