You're Just Peachy Card

Hello, and long time-no-see, everyone!  I have been incredibly busy lately!!!!!!  I wrapped up another school year (with 2nd graders this time), had a huge Fiesta at my house, helped a friend plan her wedding, AND, last but not least, I GOT MARRIED!!!!  :)  It has been non-stop around here!  Now my hubby and I are working on tearing out the carpets and breathing new life into the hardwood floors in the house, so the fun just never ends...  ;)  I think often of posting on my blog, but I have just not had the time at all!  I have been working on projects, though.  I made a lot of things for my new classroom this year, made a few cards, and I put a TON of effort/planning/crafting, etc. into my wedding!  I will be posting pictures of that soon.  But for now, I have a card that I am going to enter into a couple challenges.  My grandma got really sick with pneumonia in April, and I made her this card to help cheer her up.  She is doing much better now, and we are so happy & thankful she's back to her spunky ol' self again!  Here it is!

You're Plum Terrific Card

Hello everyone!  Oh my goodness!  I have been gone for a really long time, and there is NO excuse for that!  It's the end of the school year, so there is a lot going on at work, and I'm getting ready for a vacation, etc.!  I have been really busy, but still...    I am super-duper excited that the Krafty Girls Challenge Blog is back in business!  And, guess what?  This is a card I made for their first challenge!  Woo hoo!  The challenge this week is:  Anything Goes.  For some reason, I have a more difficult time with that challenge.  I think there are too many possibilities, and I have to try and narrow them down!  :)  This card is going to be given to my friend Shelly, because she is terrific, and she needs a bit of a pick-me-up right now...  Onto the card!
