Now, what day is it?

Oh my, I'll be lost all week as to what day it is!  Today should be Monday, but it is Tuesday - so I'll be scratching my head all week and then to make matters worse - we are in a different month!  Dear me. However, what a fabulous week-end!!! Wonderful weather - very precious little rain for us here in central West Virginia.  I got a lot done, as did my hubby,  I even have some stuff done for convention!  Woohoo!!  I'm prepping this page on Monday night - and the retiring list will come out after midnight - Utah time - so I am not staying up to await that event - I will attach it under a separate page - just click on the right where you see retiring list - will be easier for you to print off also to have for your perusal. 

I am ahead on my projects for the week and I do have to hold back because the normal reaction it to throw everything up here! Can't do that though - but I have one really cute project but I have to wait until I deliver it to the recipient - it is not actually a stampin Up! item - just something creative I saw in Iowa and I feel certain some of you are going to want to case it.  No hints - just wait.  Cathey B - I'm certain it will be something you will want to use for some of your friends!

Now with that teaser, on to the card for today.

I actually saw something very similar to this somewhere and for the life of me I can't remember where it was - don't know if it was a magazine or a blog - wherever It was I used it as a springboard to copy the idea, and I say copy quite loosely as you'd never recognize this from the original card.   

This stamped image is from Watercolor Trio.  I've been using this a bunch over the past couple of days - so you will see a lot of it around here.  I stamped the hmmm, I guess we'll call it flower- like image in versamark and then clear embossed - then I stamped the french word background in soft suede and then sponged on some old olive.  Everything else is pretty basic - used the dotted swiss folder of ours for the card front and the large scallops at the bottom of the stamped piece is simply 1 inch circles punched out of old olive cardstock.   Ofcourse I used crushed curry because it is going away - I have lots of it to use up before it goes!  Be sure to check out the retiring list and see what is going, going gone!  Enjoy the day back at work!!

Nice card. I will miss Old Olive. I do like that color.
I also can't believe it's another week and another month. Where does time go.
I hope everyone has a good week and that you didn't get blown or washed away by the storm last evening. It sure was something else.

Just got caught up on the blog. Love this technique and of course your color choices.
