Whirlwind of Busy and Thank you!

First I would like to take a moment to thank a special friend from my House Mouse Group, Jovita at Inky Impressions for this great card she sent me and all the wonderful Happy Hopper Valentine Images! Also thanks for the help with the Links Jovi!

I have been so busy lately that I don't know what to do first! Do you ever do that?

Friday night I went to Heavenly Stampers Stamp Club! We worked on Alcohol Inks, Punching and using our Cuttlebugs. We had so much fun and found something wonderful. If you make your AI backgrounds and then emboss them in your CB, the effect is stunning, especially if you used metallic AI's in your background. Something you may want to play with in your spare time, if you have any!

Then I went to a friends House over the weekend to play and she made us all a wonderful dinner! We played with our Cuttlebugs some more and I broke my first "B" plate! Actually, I just made a very large crack in it and was still able to use it as the bottom plate! It was the cutting plate that broke and I think it was just weak from so much use. Luckily for me I had a brand new set at home. Now I will use the unbroken one for my cutting plate and a new one for embossing. Then I still have one new plate if and when I need it, for a spare!

Well, I have so many swaps to complete and things to get in the mail and am running way behind, so I will close for now!

Happy Stampin! Lori
