"...lifes simple blessings' card

This is a card I reeeeeaally wanted to make from about a year ago. After I got my cute monkey stamp, I thought it would be perfect for this card. I thought it turned out pretty good. Hope you like it too. :-)


Cutting the printed paper was a bit of a challenge. I was all smiles when it got the margins squared away. :-) :-) :-)

Tree printed paper by DCWV - Green Stack

Monkey stamp by CC Designs

"Take time...." stamp by Imaginations

Copic markers

Lace punch by Martha Stewart

Ribbon by Offray

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. :-)

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.
