Let’s Get Shabby Challenge #14~Knee Surgery :o(

Let’s Get Shabby Challenge is a two part challenge, wings and this quote:

'Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly'

I took Heidi Swapp’s playing cards and created these:

If you lift up the flower you can see where I stamped, so, the left side reads “do what U Love” and the right is “Be Creative, play”.  I plan on putting these on a layout as embellishments.

I love the quote and I feel as you all are “Friends who are angels that lift me to my feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly” !

I want to thank you girls for your best wishes for my knee surgery Monday.  For those of you who don’t know I had a total knee replacement 18 years ago.  It is old and loose and has to be redone again.  Hence, my surgery Monday morning with 2 weeks in rehab and then another 4-6 weeks of out patient therapy.   So,  I hope you come back to visit me and enjoy the rest of the summer.  Don’t have to much fun while I’m gone!  ;o)  Hugz, Z

Christmas in July~SEI Clear Album

Here is a class I did using SEI collection Christmas Mint:

Hard to see the front cover is a clear snowflake that I stamped using staz-on ink:

Here the class swapped flowers and still have to put mine on.

These ornaments are clear to place photos behind, I just haven’t pulled the protective covering off, yet.

Well, it will be here before you know it!  lol  Enjoy the your week.  Hugz, Z

Let’s Get Shabby~Challenge #13

This month’s is Let’s Get Shabby’s 1st birthday.  The challenge is a birthday celebration and stamping. 

This a mini album I got at Michaels Craft Store.  I used basic grey Kioshi collection.  I added the brown ruffle, stamped the it’s a party and added the ribbon to make the cupcake bottom.   This is Gabby’s 1st Birthday party and this is the cake I made for the party.  It was a panda theme party. I made the birthday hat.  I used cupcake paper embossed paper.   I stamped the flourishes and hand cut them.     I didn’t do a lot of stamping, this last page has the petaloo butterflies, stamped Happy Birthday and the prima lady bug at the top.  Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.  Hugz, Z
