What time is it?

It is FWF time :)  Pulling out another card that I have not yet posted from my archives...mojo still has not returned.  I did get to make a card this week, a step in the right direction, but I cannot share it until next week...stay tuned...dun, dun, DUUUUN!!! Hmm, apparently there will be no more sugar for me this evening ;)  The sentiment on this card makes me think of that old RNB song by Al B. Sure..I better get to the deets before I start dating my age...

Hope you all have an awesome weekend!  I am getting off of this computer before I get zapped...it's is storming and lightening outside like crazy...perfect napping weather :)

A blast from the past...

This is a card that I created back in September of last year.  Not my best (which explains why I have not posted it until now), but I do not have anything else to post since I have lost my mojo.  Hoping I can find it soon.  I absolutely NEED to create something...for the well being of my soul...have you ever felt like that?  These ice skates can finally be packed away until next year here in Pittsburgh.  The weather has been gorgeous and I hope to get some time to enjoy it on Sunday (my day off)...maybe even create something too ;)  {fingers crossed}

Rise Above It All...

pretty much says it all, doesn't it?  I love the way this design turned out so I think I am going to make a stack of these in an array of colors.  For this card I used a total of 5 different greens.  4 for the background and the 5th to stamp the sentiment.  Anytime any one needs a little uplifting, I'll have a card ready to go :)

Here's to a fabulous weekend for all!  

Play ball!

Another quick post here.  This card took about 10 minutes to make...it is a quick thank you card for a friend who always takes charge and gets a whole group of us opening day baseball tickets.  Thought it would be rather fitting :)  Please excuse the awful picture..I think my background paper shifted and my card appears to be crooked.  Next time I will have to choose a less busy pattern too.  I just can't pass a good polka dot up ;)

Have a great weekend sweet friends!!!  Oh, I almost forgot...I love to return comments.  I try to always do so (sometimes life does get in my way from time to time though).  I noticed that there are a few of you that I cannot seem to locate.  I normally just click on your name link and get your blog from your profile page.  It doesn't always work.  To make a long story even longer (lol), if you have left comments for me and have not heard a peep back, please leave me a link to your blog and I promise to stop by and check out your beautiful designs!  Hugs to all!

FWF :)
