Hi Friends!! Happpppyyyyyy Fridaaaayyyyyy! We made it to the weekend! Yay! In Sac-town this weekend, we are having our annual Rubber Stamp Convention and I'll be working all day on Saturday there. Maybe taking tickets, maybe demo'ing. Not sure yet. If you're local, please come by - all day at the Scottish Rite Center by Sac-State! I'd love to see you there!
This week was a whirlwind - the first week at my new job. It was awesome! I'm so happy and excited to be getting back in the swing of things. My commute is much better and it's been so wonderful to see old friends. I am tired though, from all the excitement and major allergies this week.
When I sat down to make a card last night, I didn't have a whole lot of time and I knew I wanted to make a CAS card. It was POURING rain and hail when I jumped in the craft room and that inspired my card. I wanted to make something before the power went out! We don't really get hail and thunder like that here in my neck of the woods. So, here's my card...
I absolutely adore this cute rain boots image from Savvy Stamps!! It's super adorable, and perfect for Spring cards! The rain shower stamp is from Amuse and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
I made the rain boots glossy by heat embossing them with clear embossing powder. I used two coats of embossing and then cut the image out and popped it up on some foam tape.
There you have it! I hope that your weekend is fun filled and happy. Thanks for coming by! Also, thank you for all the very nice comments about my Palm Springs photos! Love ya rain or shine....
I am enjoying this site, this site some great resource that you are providing and give it away for free.

Nice meeting you today at the stamp show! Love this CAS card. I love Amuse as you know, savvy & paper trey ink are Fav's too! If they would have been at the show I'd be broke!

What a fabulous card, Wanda! Whether you're doing CAS or detailed or shabby chic, I am always in awe! You do it all to perfection. LOVE those embossed rainboots. Love the bright yellow and the raindrops, too. And could that sentiment be any more perfect??
Enjoy your weekend. The stamp convention sounds like so much fun!
