Out Of My Box

Hi Stampers, It has been awhile since I posted, so I thought I better get to it. I have been really busy and the days just seem to fly by.

I made this card and I am so pleased with the way it came out. It is a bit Out-Of-My-Box, because I am so ribbon challenged and through my blogging experience I learned how to tie the
knot. It only took me watching a video over and over again to get er done, though! Another thing that is really Out-Of-My-Box is layouts and I am working on changing my style and actually doing
some layouts on my cards.

So, I would love to hear what you think of this card. The scan is not the greatest, but I am hoping that before the week is out, I will have a brand new digital camera! Eeeek! I am so Jazzed about it and can't wait to get my hot little hands on it!
At the moment, since we are having electrical problems in the house (only half having electricity), I have to unplug this very heavy duty extension chord to plug in my old PC to use my scanner (not compatible with Vista). Then I have to save the scans to my Flash drive and transfer here, Shut-down and Unplug old pc, so I can have power back in my bedroom! Ugh! Lotsa work!

Happy Stampin and if I get time I will post again later or tomorrow! Hugs Lori

Something about me you didn't Know!

I know this is odd, but I just started thinking about something I want to share with you that I don't share with many people. It kind of holds some mystery to it! As long as I can remember, since I was a little girl I have loved boxes.....not your everyday box, but Hat Boxes, Decorative Boxes, Cigar Boxes, Trunks and especially any that had hidden compartments. I like the ones that have secrets or surprises in them. I also love old houses that have hidden rooms, rooms with hidden doors and strange rooms. Is this weird or what? Does anyone else feel like this?
Do you ever have moments where things like this just pop into your head? Would love to hear your comments on this.

A Tribute to Charleton Heston

A TRIBUTE TO CHARLTON HESTON
10/04/1923 TO 04/05/2008

This is not the normal type of post that I would send to the group, but do you ever feel like you have a personal connection with a celebrity? I believe this is the only actor in my life that was a true lover of God & Jesus. He was (in my eyes) a good man and true Christian.

Charlton Heston passed away last night. Being my one & only favorite actor, this has had a deep affect on me this morning. I was so shocked when I turned on my pc to see this.

Charlton my prayers are with you as you sit at the right hand of Jesus and your family who loved you and grieves for you. For those who loved him and are interested in reading about him here is the link to a news article about his life and passing. Hugs Lori

This card that I made for the MAR swap was a real challenge and I don't think it will ever be repeated by me at least. I used seam binding up each side of the image and it was not easy adhering it to the panel. Is it too much with the background plaid panel? I sort of like it. Do you ever have a card that you have done and you like it, but are unsure of what your recipient will like it?

I would love to hear your comments on it. Thanks for stopping by. Lori
