Well I had not done my blog challenge yet, when a surprise friend package arrived on my door!
I was absolutely giddy at the assortment of things that came in that box, that I shocking did not own! I don’t know “WHO” my secret friend is yet-but a HUGE thank you for the amazing and thoughtful assortment of YUMMIES!!!
In the box was a Gel-A-Tins Coffee set! Everyone know’s how much I LOVE coffee stuff.
A super adorable altered mailbox filled with CHOCOLATE!!!
GORGEOUS Prima Glitterfied flowers-NEVER seen these! A bag of Prima’s-prettiest assortment ever, and another purple pkg too!
Some loop brads, way cool bolt like eyelets, 2 pks Making Memories paper, Martha Stewart notecards-LOVE EM, Martha and other asst ribbon, some adhesive pearls and bling I don’t have, cinnamon stickles, pkg of K& co glitter-brads, and rhinestones-and a sakura gel pen!
WOW! Who ever you are-thank you SOOOOO much.
That being said I made a card for my “person” using the new goodies, to send when I find out who it is.
So this Blogger’s Challenge came JUST in time.
So that is why you have “double duty”. I am partaking in the blog challenge by making a card that I NEED to get done! Can you believe this will actually go postal soon? MIRACLES can happen 😀
The challenge was to make a card using the baby card layout on page 141 of the Stampin’Up! Catalog.
My card is 4 1/4 X 6 1/4. I had a blast making this one.
Here is my attempt at the layout. I did change it up a bit, but I like my version better! LOL! I fell in LOVE with the colors of the paper! Perfect for a cheery cup of joe-thank you!
This uses the following goodies from my pkg-the Coffee Break stamp set, Making Memories patterned paper, gorgeous Fantasy Prima’s, andcinnamon stickles.
The tag-is the SU! Keytag punch. It was a perfect accent for my sentiment.
So there you have it!!!
Huge thanks again-to my friend.
Stay tuned because Sat. is my sketch! Hope you can play along 😀

Glitter primas!? Don’t let Sarah see those or they’ll be gone! LOL I need to figure out how to modify some of my older ones to look like these. Theres got to be a way to do that. There has to be a way, there has to be. Looks like a lot of us got happy mail today.
Wow… what a package! Look at all of those goodies! Have fun playing with all of it!
I love your card! I have so many “smaller” stamps and I’m always at a loss on how to use them. Thank you for the inspiration! Consider your card cased (with credit). This is a great layout and these colors together always make me happy! Oh, and I really like how you used the key tag punch for the sentiment on the side.
Have a great day! TGIF ♥
