Hi there on this breezy Friday.......

here in AZ! I have a card for you all today, well, I actually had 2, but I could not get a good picture of one of them. I mean I've tried outside, inside, I just could not get the colors to come out right. Don't you hate that? I made this clean and simple card and I used white card stock as my base and added the embellishments on there in form of a handmade flower which I used kind of a dark purple for and some dark purple grosgrain ribbon, but the ribbon looks BLUE in all pictures, so I am not going to post this one. It is bugging me!!!!! Any tips on taking pics of purple things without them looking BLUE?

On to my second card, which I will show you a picture of :D:D:D:D.

Last month I discovered that Taylored Expressions was offering Key Ingredients Kits, and let me tell you I just had to give them a try. So I went to their website and signed up for a 3 months subscription. The August Kit was the first one I received, a little late, because there was such a high demand, but I did receive it and I am loving it!!!!!! This is not the first card I made with this set, but I forgot to take pictures of the other ones before I gave them out already. For those that don't know what the Key Ingredients Kit is all about, you get a box of supplies that are absolutely yummy ;D. There is enough card stock in there to make a ton of cards (16 according to Taylor) , 6x6 DP, coordinating ribbon, rub-on's for the Aug. Kit, and a package of Rhinestones, absolutely GORGEOUS. To find out more about it you can check out the details at Taylored Expressions

this is the link to the info on the 3 months subscription which I have, but I am loving it, so I am thinking about getting the 6 months one ;D.

Here is my card

I thank my God.....

Paper: All papers and card stock from the August Key Ingredient Kit from Taylored Expressions

I did receive my September Kit yesterday, but have not opened it yet, but from what I did see through the package, it is yummy as well ;D.

Well, I am off to get some cleaning done before my 8 y.o. DD comes home from school early today. They are having another half day due to teacher/parent conferences.

Oh, I usually don't say too much about my family here, but I just have to share this with you all. I am a very proud Mommy today, as my 8 y.o. has all A's and A+'s in her quarterly report card. I told her, when she comes home today I'll take her for pizza to Pizza Hut, yep, my kids love Pizza Hut, and she gets to buy a new Nintendo DS game. Sorry, but I just had to share. Doesn't it feel good when your kids do well in school? I hope and pray it stays this way :D.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful weekend, I might just see you all back this weekend, after I get some playtime with my new Kit ;D.

Hugs,
