Surprise!!

Thought that yesterday's post would be my last post until I got back from Vegas.....but I got some Happy mail yesterday, so I want to share that, then a card I made for Teri, my sweet friend.

This first card & cute images came from Mina (PinkPuds). She know's how much I love Tilda's

This is a cute set of stamps I won from Jean at Dandelion Designs. So adorable......can't wait to ink it up!! Check out her blog, she makes the cutest stamps, and she also has one last give away going on.This is a card I made for my sis & bro in law, when they come out here from Texas to visit, their favorite place is the North Shore.....inside it says "wanna come"

I made this "just because" card for Teri. When I saw this image, I thought of her cat Mochiko!!!

Okay ladies...this IS my last post until next week! Take care.
