Hope you all had a fun weekend and are charged up for the new week. Yesterday morning we were awakened at 4:30 a.m. by jolts of a 4.4 magnitude earthquake. It was strong enough to kick the power off in our area. I fell asleep again and awoke about 6:30 to get ready to head into town to run some errands. But the power wasn't restored yet and it was still quite dark. I had to put my make-up on using a flashlight. Oh my, plus no power to blow dry for my hair. That meant a bad-hair day, better duck if I see someone I know. Hee-hee. Oh but just as I was about to leave, the electricity went back on. Whew, SAVED!!!
Gee, seems like it's been about a month since I last played with my rubber stamps. We've been so busy with the holidays, year-end cleaning which is still not complete (call it Spring Cleaning now), and painting the house (inside).
Well, I squeezed in some craft time this afternoon since I was getting withdrawals, and made this card using a Penny Black image. I also used Copics, Spellbinder dies (Label Seventeen), distress ink, DP by Bugs in a Rug, butterfly edge punch by Martha Stewart, cloud dies by Memory Box, sun die by Hero Arts, rhinestones by Elements, ribbon by Offray, twine, and butterfly charm by Horizon.

Sorry to hear about the earthquake and power outage, but glad your ok.
Love your card. That image is adorable and I love the colors.
Yum! This is card has such a 'sweet pie' image that it probably made me gain a few pounds just looking at it. Delicious work Karen.
So sorry that there was an earthquake and the power was out for a bit. I remembered when we had the powerful winds a little more than a year ago. The lights went out just when I finished washing my hair. That was horrible having to sleep with wet hair. What was the worst was that I had to go to work the next day with a bad hair day. At least I was not the only one with a bad hair day and wrinkled clothes. :) I am glad that all of you are okay from the jolt and that the power came back on just in time.
The card that you made is such a cheerful one. I kind of feel like you with missing the stamping/crafting. I finally did some yesterday and it felt very nice. Have a good week!
This is so cute Karen, I love the image, it is so sweet.. and that earthquake must have been scary. glad it wasn't a big one... And me too haven't crafted much lately. It's good to be back again and thanks for stopping by yesterday. Hugs xx
Cute, Cute, Cute! Love the image and that butterfly border is perfect!
Sounds like a crazy morning. Too bad you couldn't just stay in bed. Glad everything turned out ok and you had a chance to deal with your withdrawal. Crafty withdrawals can be a nasty thing!
