RAK from Enjoli

WOW!!! Look what Enjoli sent me. She won my 2nd Blog Candy Giveaway and surprised me with some yummy, yummy goodies. THANKS Enjoli. The CC Design stamp is soooo cute and I can't wait to use it. The notepad is super nice too. It'll take me a while to actually use it because I want to admire it first. :-) And of course, the brads will add the final touch to my cards. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Christmas Tag Swap

Hi All,
I entered my very first swap that Kyoko coordinated. It was SOOOO MUCH FUN. In fact, I was so excited that as soon as I entered a couple of weeks ago, I started making my tags. THANKS KYOKO.

My partner was Fran and here's what she made for me. Really, really cute. THANKS FRAN.


And this is what I sent her.

Well, I better go elevate my foot again. It's all swollen and it looks like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. LOL

Late "Breaking" News.....LOL

Many times, when I put up a post, I'm literally stuck for words. Well, I DO have a story to share now.

First of all, I was soooo looking forward to this long weekend and had plans to go to Island Scrapbooking for their Admission's Day Sale. All of that changed in an instant.

Yesterday, after I got home from work, I was walking on the sidewalk in front of our precious pooch, Buddy when he suddenly ran between my legs. I fell in a very awkward way and knew it was a bad fall because I heard and felt a snap. My son had to help me up and I hung onto him as I literally hopped into the house.

Since my hubby was all sweaty and stinky from mowing the lawn, my son took me to the Urgent Care Center where x-rays confirmed a "spiral fracture." I left with a "boot" to temporarily stabilize my ankle until I can get a cast put on next Monday.

My son will pick up crutches for me today so I can get around with more ease. Until then, if I need to get around the house, I'll hop and hold onto whatever I can. If there's nothing to hold, I do the "Army Crawl." I must say, I crack up laughing doing the crawl. Gives my son a good chuckle too. I'll be ready for basic training in a few weeks. LOL.

I feel so fortunate to have a great, caring, and helpful hubby (retired Paramedic) and sons.

So here's a picture of my stylish and fashionable "boot" next to my ugly, bony, dry skin leg. Hmmm, my right foot looks crooked yah and I should've put skin lotion first. Hee-hee. Oh what the heck, give everyone a good laugh. ROL.







And here's lovable, precious, playful, energetic, and innocent Buddy. I still think he's soooooo cute.
If you have a pooch, be careful if he/she is behind you. Don't want anyone to get "attacked from the rear" like me. :-)

Well, I better go elevate my feet again. Hope you all have a "scrap happy" day.

Karen :-)

Kyoko's Tag Swap

Hi All.......Kyoko of Cards and Tags Mania is having a Tag Swap. Sign up soon as the deadline is 8/14. It sounds like a lot of fun so I'm entering my very first swap.

Thank you from Terri

Look at this cute thank you card I received from Terri. She won my Happy Summer Blog Candy Giveaway #3. She said the image reminded her of Hawaii. THANKS TERRI! Hope you're enjoying your "candy."

"Monkey" Treat Box

Woo hoo!!! This is my first post of a treat box I made using my Scor-Pal. I'm so happy my friend Jenny happened to have an extra one that she could sell to me. I'm really enjoying my new "toy." THANKS JENNY!!!

Oh, and I love this cute monkey stamp. I saw the set at Island Scrapbooking about a month or so ago. I knew I should've bought it then but didn't. A week later I decided to get it but it was gone. I was so happy when Michele called to let me know they came in. It was well worth the wait. As the saying goes, "You snooze, you lose." Silly me. LOL. :-)

Sorry, the picture looks a bit lopsided, probably because I wanted to show the sides of this box as well. Or maybe I'm just too tired. It's late and I think it's time to hit the sack.
Here's the view with the top lifted. You may not be able to see the clear plastic in the "window" but it's there. :-)

Supplies:

Box pattern by Scor-Pal

Monkey stamp by CC Designs

Paper for box by DCWV Ultimate Stack

Butterfly Card

Making a card can't get simpler than this. I just cut out a bunch of these pretty butterflies and

taped them to the card along with the sticker. To give it a 3-D effect, I lifted the wings of the butterflies though you can't really see it. Great for a quick card.

Supplies:

Paper by DCWV - Garden Party Stack

Grosgrain ribbon by Comex
