Good day, friends!

Some of you may wonder where I have been for the last week.   The short answer is… on the couch.   The long answer is much more complicated.   The sad part is, I have NOT been in my studio.

I woke up feeling a tad better this morning, so I decided since I NEED a birthday card today, I would give it a whirl.   It’s really strange.   I have mojo.   I have desire.   I just struggled to get my ideas on paper.   Frustration and stamping do not mix well.Today is my aunt Marci’s 63rd birthday.   We are having a little dinner gathering this evening to celebrate.

Just yesterday, I received these Lilac Avenue papers (kaisercraft)  from Stamp Simply.   These colors are SO Marci.

I assure you that the ribbon on this card IS purple.  For some reason, my camera wants to make it blue!

As unbelievable as it sounds, I do NOT own regular circle nesties.   I am going to have to fix that soon!   I have the SU circle cutter, but with the JustRite stamps,  it’s difficult to stamp first, then cut and even harder to cut first then stamp!

    You did pretty darn well for not having circle nesties. Lovely card and a great use of the pearls in the flower. Please wish my fellow January birthday girl Marci a happy birthday for me – mine was on the 21st. Hope you are back up and running soon.
