Hello World!
Welcome to my blog! If someone had told me a year ago that someday I would have a blog, I would have never believed them. (Not sure I even knew what a blog was a year ago.) But here I am finally putting a timid foot into this world.
I have to tell you about my rosey blog banner. It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and one of my sons shipped me a bouquet. I took a picture of them and made my banner from the photo.
My boys know how much I love pink roses. In fact anyone who sees my home could figure that out. The only spaces not covered in roses are the boys’ rooms. I should have realized my love for paper way back when I was having so much fun picking out all the wallpaper that is everywhere in my home. Even my kitchen walls are covered in pink roses. (Yes I have a very tolerant husband who proclaims that when I’m happy he’s happy!)
The card I chose to post is one in my Splitcoaststampers (SCS) gallery from last month. I so love the sentiment and wanted it to be for anyone who has dropped by today (and gotten this far reading this post!) I will try to post often whenever I have something to share. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope that you will find your way back here again soon.
Stamps: Priceless, All Holidays
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla, Bali Breeze DP
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Purely Pomegranate, VersaMark
Accessories: Embossing Powder, Satin Ribbon in Chocolate, Pearls, Corner Punch
(Card was made using products from Stampin’ Up!.)
HUGE CONGRATS!!! I didn’t even read what you had to say — just wanted to be sure I was the first to comment — LOL!!! Your banner is gorgeous, your pic is beautiful, I love the clean white look this has — now, off to read what you had to say!!!
HUGE CONGRATS!!! I’ll link you!!!
OK, now I read it!!! I LOVE your card!! I have wanted that one sentiment stamp since it came out, but it’s the only one in the set I wanted, so I didn’t order. Your card is so luscious!!!! And WOW, I didn’t realize about the pink roses — oh, would I LOVE to see some of your rooms!!!
Again, WELCOME, WELCOME, and have fun!!!
Hello, Susan!!! Welcome to the blogging world! I’ve only been here a month and I really still don’t know what I’m doing! My biggest problem though is finding the time to post. You’re going to have a blast! I’m adding you to my blogroll now! Your banner is beautiful and your card(s) is gorgeous, as always! Woo hoo for new adventures!!!
Susan - welcome to the world of blogging! I am celebrating one year this weekend and can hardly believe it. You’ll be addicted in no time. Such a beautiful card you chose to start with too - love hoe the sentiment seems to be nestled so cozy in the ribbon and butterflies.
Oh and I should also say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE pink roses too.
I LOVE IT!!!! You look fabulous - your banner is amazing - and that card is just delicious! Now, tell me you sell your cards - or are you like Barbara and you make them and keep them all to yourself?!?! And you belong to a secret society of stampers?!? I’m so impressed!!! When you feel like making cards and you want a remedial idiot to come and sit by you and copy everything you do - call me! Love you! Nan

Susan, I saw you had a blog from your comments on one of my cards and clicked on it to check it out. I guess I might be one of the few left that do not have a blog. I am going to subscribe to yours to keep up w/you gf!
