Two first for me this week...

First one was I got a Sty on my eyelid, woke up at 3 a.m. knowing my eye was hurting.... It really was no laughing matter that thing hurts like H&#*.... I called my doctor and she could not get me in she sent me to urgent care.... First off I hate that place.... They almost left us in the room one night as they where locking up, they found us because they had to turn off the lights in the room we where in.... I went as soon as they opened so, I would not have to wait all day because, of my eye issues the doctor at urgent care sent me to my eye doctor... I have AIBSE Acute Idiopathic Blind Spot Syndrome Enlargement what this means is they have no idea why I have a really larger than normal blind spot in my one eye... It is really big, I bet you had know idea that I was partially blind...hehehehe The thing is the blind spot is in the other eye and once the eye doctor looked at it (sty) and gave me something for it I could not see to drive all that well... So, no work today...:0) Sorry, SIS it was my sisters day for cleaning I am a housekeeper...

Okay, now for the second first... I was online last night trying my hardest to read and play along with the Gina K. opening party at SCS... I made my first upload there for the Gina K. sketch contest... The card needs something? Maybe a thin ribbon horizontally... TFL

Well, DH and I went shopping the last week one night after work and I asked him to stop by this sweet craft and frames shop before we went to dinner.... Because, we happened to have been one town over and they have some cute things and I hate to pass up a chance to just peek... I do not make it over there to shop very often... All, I have to say is I went in bought one six pack of H2O's and now I want more...:0) The scan does not do this image justice at all.. As many of you know that whom already play with these... Bought the pack with Nutmeg (my favorite), Evening primrose, Fresh oregano, Caribbean mist, Coral berry and Razzleberry... Woo hoo, I need more, is what I said after playing with them...:0) I first stamped the image in Old paper ink from Ranger, then painted it in using H2O's and a water pen from M's the green one.... I masked off all but the water and went back over it with Versafine, O.B. so, that you cloud see the movement of the water that the stamp has to offer...

Christmas is still a few months away but, I could not wait to play with one of my stamps....:0)

This is an awesome stamp to play with... I can see myself coloring it in and doing even a few more things with it...

Okay, two things to tell you all about... First I got picked up on a design team, that right I am working for rubber...heheheehe I am now a member of Auntie Amy's design team... Thank you, Auntie Amy, I am on cloud nine right now... You can find a link to her site on my side bar...

They have great stamps and other stuff go pop over and check them out...

As if that was not enough I was in chat last night with some friend's and a my pop up window came up telling me I had new E-mail messages... I thought nothing of it and spaced it for a bit... After most of the girls had left and I was just chatting with one friend I told her to go get her craft things out of her craft room that is unattached to her house and that I would stay on-line with her just to make sure she made it back into the house okay... Her family was away for the night and I knew I would sleep better knowing my friend was safe and in her home playing the night away...:0)

Well, when she stepped out to get her stuff I popped over and checked my E-mail's.... These E-mails only made my cloud nine got to over the moon... I got Two message from Gina K. from Gina K. Designs on my blog.... Now you stampers know whom I am talking about as for the rest of you SHE IS AN AWESOME TALENTED LADY IN THE STAMPING WORLD...

I think this turned out better than I thought it would... I like it but, my DH does not care for the swirls in the corners... Because they are not solid or, consistent in color.... LOL I told him you try stamping on Dr. brown card stock and embossing it an see what you get...hehehehe
No really, what do you do if you want something on the card and you can not find what you need in the stores?... I could not find pink EP any where... Is it out there?... If it is let me know I may need to get some...hehehe But, for now I will stick with what I made up Pearl EX, Duo Red-Blue in clear EP... Maybe I should have tried it in white EP?... White ink with mixed EP over it, that is what I did... TFL

I had a heck of a time trying to get the fiber to glue down the way I wanted it to... I used an old Fiskars glue pen on it, and it seems to be holding on really well...
