Simply Simple 101

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Monday !!!

It has been a tough week for me being sick and all. I seem to do fine in the morning but in the afternoon I feel hot and cold and weak all together. Whatever bug I caught, it is not going away.
I try to keep things normal. I even made this card today for Simply Simple week- using the Creative Elements and Great Friend stamp set which is being retired.  I did very basic layout and kept everything clean.  Hope you like it.

MDS Tuesday

Hello Peeps!!!

Happy Tuesday !!!

Orlando Airport...

Celebrating our Anniversary, my DH and I just had a wonderful  and fun time in Orlando where we

stayed and visited Mickey and friends and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We had so much fun just being two old  kids for days.  The weather was crazy but that did not stop us from doing what we wanted to do. I meant to post while we were there but our schedule was as crazy as the weather- we did not rent a car since the resort we were staying provided shuttle amenities and we had to be there at a certain time and got home late. There wasn't really much time to post. It was so wonderful to get e-mails wanting to know if I was okay and thank you for all your concerns.

Anyway, I hope today's card will make up for my absence.The card of course is MDS Flower Garden using the MDS.  I printed and colored it, and added striped ribbon for embellishment. I used the

labels die cut behind my main image and the striped EF. Hope you like it.

RECIPE:

Stamps:  Flower Garden MDS, Thoughts of You

Paper: Blushing Bride, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Twitterpated DSP

Ink: Basic Gray, markers

Accessories: striped Basic Gray ribbon, pearls

Tools: Big Shot, Labels collection diecut, stripe EF, piercing tool, dimensionals
