It's a lovely Sunday afternoon in SW Florida! Sitting in the back screened in porch in shorts, bubbling fountain, perfect temp! Summer is DARN HOT & HUMID, so I want to appreciate every minute of winter! This passed week I achieved a monumental personal goal. I had FOUR left leg surgeries in just 2 yrs. This week I gave up my cane and am so very grateful to be walking fairly well without it! The cane was a help but annoying - and made me feel old. I'm finally FREE!! Hurray!

Huge success!

He got a beer!

100_3166
"Look dear, Tami sent me this awesome heart!" Hubby, "Are those bottle caps? I haven't had a beer in months. I think I'll have one." LOL Not the reaponse I expected about this lovely creation from my upline Tami Waddell in California!

100_3168
LOTS of detail and variety in this design! Hubby did offer me his beer cap for creating...I declined because it smelled...like beer - ick!

I'm not going to attempt to list all the supplies. Just get out your reds, pinks, and hearts and start creating! Don't forget the NEW Soda Pop Tops from Stampin' Up!'s Spring Catalog - they DON'T smell like beer!! CHEERS!!

Hello

100_3108
Who doesn't love the CRISPNESS of Polka Dots!! I punched a bunch of scalloped circles from the NEW Creped Filter Paper. Stacked them, then put a brad thru the center. I crunched the layers and got these fluffy flowers! TIP: If you have trouble punching the Filter Paper, simply add a sheet of copy paper for stability while punching.

100_3109
I was tempted to sponge or spritz the flowers, but decided the pure white was sooo clean with the fresh Polk Dots!

LOVE this card! Think I'll repeat it in several other colors of Polka Dots. Try it yourself!
