LOL I love your style Susan, simple and always perfect at the same time, the little envelope is perfect with that heart bling and I love how you explain the balance of the card, what works and what doesn't. I tend to over-do and I'm just going to keep on trying for simplicity!! Eventually, I'm sure it will rub off on me. I have the zutter corner rounder and I got it because I had dulled my Mstewart corner rounder on some thick clear plastic/chip board materials, same for my 4.00 paper shaper from Wal-mart!! Ended up just having to buy another paper shaper and have 2 one for big corners and one for small corners and use both regularly on paper/CS only because I have learned my lesson. I would love to have your zutter to give to my mom, a future mulch, if you will. I've given her and my neice who reside together, die cutting machines for Christmas, and have mulched dies their way for various holidays/birthdays. Thank you for such great inspirations always!Paulette Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12058810593221275999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-74415507070534146492011-05-03T11:13:01.517-04:002011-05-03T11:13:01.517-04:00A) How cute is this?

It's totally cute, and sincere, and perfectly blinged!<br />B) Having trouble with this; to me, telling about your mulch kinda negates the mulch, if you know what I mean?

I really can't think of one specific thing as I try to always be like that with the people I know. <br />I did just recently give someone I don't know and will never know a big box of card making stuff, like many families things were hard with husband being made redundant and she was hoping to make some money selling cards using everyday items, she was thrilled to get the box and I'm sure she will put the contents to good use. <br />I have also just bought my mom a sprayer to do the fence and shed with that smelly stuff that stops mold.<br />I hope you don't think I am rolling in it in fact I am disabled and have a limited budget myself but I think if you can help someone you do.<br />If I am lucky enough to win and you don't send oversea's then you can send it to my son who is stationed at McDill and he will send it on. I look forward to seeing what you have to show us tomorrow.<br /><br />SheronSheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665405260562753756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-66465034378828981912011-05-03T05:27:09.552-04:002011-05-03T05:27:09.552-04:00Very nice card (as always).

I love the bling :-) <br /><br />It is funny that you would ask this today b/c I had an especially errand filled delivery day yesterday....I love to surprise neighbors and "teacher friends" at school with just a little surprise in their mailboxes. Especially when they have had/or will have a tough day. Yesterday I dropped off a huge colorful bucket with glitter pencils (sharpened) to my son's teacher for the class. They are working hard to review before End of Grade tests, and it is tough in there. I dropped off a trilogy of fun books (Janet Evanovich number series) to a neighbor who just lost her dog. And a potted plant to brighten the front steps (with thriller/spiller/filler) on a friend who just made the tough but fiscally responsible decision to move her family.kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03813664820071972909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-44048188336439016562011-05-03T00:24:46.823-04:002011-05-03T00:24:46.823-04:00Your card is always cute!

I recently got the Stampin Up set about chocolate. I found the perfect bags at Michael's that said Chocolate is my Life. I made cards to go with them, filled them with chocolate and made all kinds of fun tags and things and sent them off to to ladies that have been friends since grade school and believe me, that is quite some time ago!
