Oh so much on this creation to share! So I won’t “babble” to much OK!
My poor friend Dawn has been so sick for a while now.
Weird fever’s on and off and stuff like that. They aren’t sure WHAT is going on.
Anyway-that calls for a get well note! Its a true MIRACLE that I am actually getting this off in a timely manner. She is just the sweetest thing, so I want her to know I’m thinking of her.
I am including the COOLEST tin of tea I made with an upcomingMFT release! I cannot share it, because it’s getting published ๐ NEXT DECEMBER! LOL! Yes you read it right, almost one year from now. I have been making CHRISTMAS stuff-AGAIN for publications-CRAZY huh?
Ok the card-
When I think “note” I think “bird”.
This is yet another MUST have thing for me-these style of bird images. I just LOVE them. Elegant birds. Can’t get enough. Whimsical Birds-doesn’t matter-Love them.
This one above is by Inkadinkadoo. I got mine ——->HERE. To my knowledge Lindsay will be getting in more of these new images soon ๐ She is awesome to buy from too.
Did you see my SUPAH awesome embossed flowers?
After you pick yourself up off the floor, and catch your breath, REALLY look at the beauty of them.
THAT my friends, is a flower’s Spellbinder’s Nestabilitiesย die! Can you scream GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe Christine from All That Scraps will be getting some in. I know she is getting the hearts in soon.ย I got mine at my LSS. Couldn’t leave them there.
The scalloped circle , that the birds are stamped on, is also a Nestabilities die. They add such elegance.
I useย versamagic ink on most my solid creations. I LOVE the coverage and matte finish it has. I also love that they are SO close to SU! colors. They cover like a craft ink, but dry instantly. I own just about every color. Since they are dew drops they hardly take up any space at all.
Now that paper is the Target $1 spot! I scored there BIG TIME the last few weeks.
The ribbon was found at Michael’s.
Now the “get well” tab, is by Making Memories. Its a tag curling thingy that secures to your ribbon???
All I know is they looked cool, and I was NOT paying $25 for something to close it onto my ribbon! I used my wire cutters to chop off the curling part.
Originally it was on my ribbon (closed using Pliers), but it was unbalanced looking so I moved it.
The scallop row of stitching at the bottom is anOnare template, I love using.
WHEW! Are you still with me?
Was that the most boring thing you read ALL week?
I didn’t realize there was SO much on this crazy card, till I began rambling along.
Well tomorrow is our Blogger’s Challenge. We are all doing a SU! Catalog layout case! So that should be cool to see everyone’s interpretation of it.
Till tomorrow.

This is beautiful! I hope your friend feels better soon!
OMG target $1 spot, is amazing! I just went to target. You know how the dollar spot is right there when you walk in? Well I spent my whole time there and money! LOLOL. After that had to be quick in the rest of the store. LOL I did pick up a few of those paper packs as well. Now I can’t wait to go organize and check it all out.
Question for you… I know you have a great space and organized! But with all that you have and keep getting how to you know (remember) what you have to use? My issue is probably small space and not highly organized so I forget about cool stuff I have because it gets packed away where i can’t see it. Today I got one of those wire shelves only one to see how it fits etc. But I thought that might help.
Thanks for your ?
I have these clear storage stackable units that go in my shelf under my desk.
I have certain things delegated to certain “items”
For example-
One had JUST BLING stickers
The other decorative brads
Tags
chipboard
metal embellishments
and so on.
So I can easily find something.
Sometimes I find a object I forgot about, but thats the fun in having so much stuff.
Besides when its $1!!! That is always a good deal.
Glad you scored big too! I spent WAY too much money there the last few visits!
Oh my gosh Lauren, I LOVE how you used those birdies!!! You have totally inspired me as I LOVE my birdies too!!! NOW, I guess I need to get those flower dies!!! They are awesome! You are paying me back aren’t you!?!?!? Fantastic card!

Your card is stunning! It sounds like you have LOTS to do to keep you busy. I am so glad you still find time to share here. (I don’t know how you do it all…but I sure appreciate it!)
This is just beautiful! I LOVE all the muted tones and then the pop! of your ribbon and tag! I am off to check out those nestabilities!
This is gorgeous! Dawn will love it. I have a lot of catch up stamping to do myself, I got a few things done the other day, but more and more to add it seems!
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, this is so beautiful! The colors are gorgeous together and the flower nestabilities are the bomb! On to my list they go, and between you and Lynda B. I’m obviously going to have to get to Target some time soon!!
Just wanted to thank you also for mentioning my website (Mothers and Daughters) the other day – you were my very first order outside a group of followers I’ve had since I was a teacher, so I was really thrilled to get the order, and then Lynda made the connection for me that you were My Time!! I didn’t know when I got the order, even though I visit your blog all the time and I should know! I was so excited! So, anyway, (as I ramble on) thanks so much for your support and I really hope you enjoy your goodies!!
So, OK, reading your blog is definitely detrimental to the health of my wallet!
Now that I know spellbinders is gonna make hearts and flowers, what am I supposed to do!!??… ๐
great card Lauren. I wasn’t really feelin the birds until I saw this card. Is the flower die a new set from Sepllbinders? Do you know when it’s being released?
Dawn is just going to love this and the tea tin.
I dont think its new.

I love this card! It does have a lot going on, but it so does not look like “too much”. Your layout is great and I love the color. I think I may run to Michael’s to see if I can find that ribbon, it’s great too!
Absolutely beautiful card. Wow! That rust ribbon and charm really add the perfect finish. And flower nestabilities, oh my!
Absolutely gorgeous card! I gave you an award on my blog…I hope you’ll go check it out!
Gorgeous!! Sorry about your friend. This is sure to cheer her up!
This is simply georgous, that Spllbinders flower, oh wow!
This card is just beautiful. Love everything about it…the colors, the images, everything!
Oh Lauren, this came in the mail today! Thank you SO much, sweet friend! I can’t tell you how touched I am that you took time to make me a card AND an adorable altered tin!! And you sent me tea to help me get well — incredibly thoughtful. You SO brightened my day, Girly. Thank you a ton!!
Love you!
