Jeanette, I find it amazing how you decorate the insides of all your cards! Taking the time to do that one extra step just floors me because you are not just stamping the inside, you are DESIGNING the inside, too!
Having problems with the site or my computers today. So will try uploading again. Has sometime to play a little with my Christmas present over the last day and put some together to be mailed. Thanks ladies for the comments and inspiration. Gotta find more time to play I'm getting behind.

Wow Karla, these are incredible!! Did you do these with a Cricut or a Silhouette? The Winter Lace one is unbelievable, and the Happy Birthday script is amazing! Love those butterflies...Oh heck, I love them all LOL (but really want to know how you did them...)

It's been quite a productive card making day for me.....I'm working at getting all the cards in my gallery and blog....and haven't posted here much this week of cards I have made....and sadly, haven't been in any of your galleries to leave some love - but I will! I promise!!! But here are the cards I made yesterday and today:
Hi ladies!!
I had my stamp night last weekend- a group of wonderful ladies gathered by our local SU! demo for the last who knows how many years- and made cards for it!! Swapping has become mandatory as participation was waning, lol.
I made 14 cards!! So now I'm up to 16
No pics as my cameras are all either broken or out of batteries (remember i have three little boys, haha), but they were standard size, top fold (tent), and all in Sahara Sand with various red prints DP and white paper daisies layered with a ladybug sticker. Copied the wonderful stamper here with a matching strip of DP inside which I scalloped. Very little stamping, just some ladybugs on the backside- I just cannot make a card with a naked backside, even if we aren't supposed to sign these in our swap so as we can pretend we stamped them haha.
Ladybugs are my thing, that's what "Bubamara" means in Croatian, BTW. My hubs is from Croatia.
Anyhoo!! I'm still sticking around and actually stamping, working on our challenge.
Good work all, Thank you for sharing such wonderful cards! I will check in again soon.

...I am EXAUSTEDDDDDDDDD...
Hey all. Just checking in quickly... From my phone lol. It's raining buckets out here and we've been on flash flood advisory since about 2 or 3pm. The power's gone out twice, but thankfully its come back on and stayed on since. My internet's down along with my phone, but my tv works. Weird, huh? I thought they were all linked. The only way for me to get online is via my phone with the wifi turned off so I am having a super hard time seeing everyone's cards!
Hopefully this weather will settle down by morning and I can check in and get a blog post up!! Hole the weather's better wherever y'all are. Ttyl
Oh my goodness.... April! WOW! WOW! WOW!!! This 100 Cards in 100 Days is YOUR thing... I think your already impressive skills have gotten even better. Love these cards! (And I was impressed with that pretty green ribbon on that one card. ;))
Sweet P, sleep! Do you want us to sing you a lullabye?
Kel, yikes! Be safe! Sounds like quite a torrential rain going on.
Wow! April---those cards are all great....love the boys.......on all of them and the little girl on the circle one....Your coloring is so delicate.......
Jeanette---are t hose letters matted??????? what a bunch of fussy cutting.
Kel,,,,,you could send rain to us.......We received about 25 drops Saturday night......and need about 25 inches of slow steady rain to break the drought......and catch us up to our annual average.
Our DIL's sister had her baby Saturday.....on a full moon just like I told her it would be....the parents of the two girls are going to have two grandbabies born in less than 3 weeks time.....girl first and then boy from our son and his wife(their other daughter). So I figure the boy will show up about the 10th of February.....will see if I am right.

Thanks for all of the kind comments! Everyone her is so talented....hard for me to compete! Actually, I compete more with myself than anyone else.....I always like to better myself....lol
I have a card due in two days and am clueless to what I am going to make.....that is on my play for today.
The weather is gross, so am holding off going to the Post Office til tomorrow. And, I need to make some broccoli soup for tonight's supper. Think I will whip up a couple loaves of bread to go with it! Not sure if I will make rustic loaves or some beer bread??
broc soup and rustic bread sound great for supper........don't know what we are having but it may hit 70 today so I am fairly certain it won't involve soup...sent DH fishing this morning so after exercise session, into the craft room I went...
These 4 cards are CAS but think they will get the job done.
The poppy parade thank you is SC129
The Magnolia girl on stripes is SC130
The icecream is SC 131
and the stars, stripes and checks is 131.
These are fun and I am loving the 100by 100 challenge.....using up stash left and right.

Looks like everyone is keeping busy. Love the cards Pansy - you keep this up you will have all the sketches done before the end of February!
Broccoli soup sounds great! Homemade bread, yum...but not at this house - took a casserole out of the freezer and some Rhodes rolls. Wife of the Year I will never be...procraftinator yes!

Came home after work and needed to de-stress so made a card for a challenge...this is #35 of 100. Jeanette - you've inspired me with how you take time to make the inside special too so I tried to follow your lead on this one.
How pretty Zella! In our house,,,DD1 was born on Feb 15...so funny as back in the "olden" days---preg teachers didn't work till they gave birth....I had to go have a special meeting with the superintendent to get permission to work up to the due date...and no budging....so on Feb 2 I turned my classroom over to a sub......and had used up all my "sick" days before DD1 decided to make an appearance during an ice storm and all.....and DH had brought home flowers for me for Valentines day and because i was going stir crazy at home for two weeks he even cooked supper. then the next day he had to buy flowers again....and ever since,,,Valentines Day hasn't been a big thing around our house.....but I love to make cards for it.
