I saw an incredible card on SCS today by "stampalooza" and knew I wanted give it a try! My flower isn't as big as hers, but I think I did okay for my first time making it. It's one of the cards we will making at my stamp camp tomorrow! Here's the details:

Fresh Cuts

I made a quick card with the Fresh Cuts sets and the new in-color, Tangerine Tango. Don't you just love that name? Since I didn't have ribbon to match (at least not yet), I dyed a piece of white ribbon by pressing it into the tangerine inkpad using a q-tip. I'm off to the dentist to have a crown put on - have a good day! Here's the details:

Long Walk......

I forgot to include this picture - this is Richard and Ben walking up the 425 foot vertical drop at the dunes! I guess all that biking Richard does helped with the climb up!

Vacation Pics

We just got home today from spending 5 days at the Crystal Mountain Resort in Michigan. We had a wonderful time and hated to come back home! We spend a day at the Sleeping Bear Dunes and another day up at Mackinow. It was very relaxing and Ben had a great time doing the Alpine Slide; Richard even tried it! We bought a day pass for Ben, he would come down the slide and go right back up on the lift. The landscaping and surrounding area was beautiful and the weather was perfect!
