Sweet Card and I found out who the tampon bandit was ;)

I used one of my new Pure Innocence stamps I bought on our trip :)
You know what that means...I get to buy some more, lol.
I saw a card on the net and copied the layout. It was only a photo, no links to the original, so sorry I can't give credit to the original.
I also used my new punch :)  I stamped part of the phrase that came with the stamp set on the punched tab.
Now I think I need some small word stamps ;)

















I coloured her with my Copics and paper pieced her dress.
I really like how she turned out..until I uploaded the card on here and it looks like she is wearing a granny dress, lol.
I didn't ink anything, can you believe it.
Oh that's a lie, I inked the around the image.






















The inside of this card.
I used some left over papers to back my recipe card.
I think I may stamp something on here yet.

















Onto My Day:
I woke up to this text from Wayne.
"Think you might need glasses to read the thermometer, 10C=50F. And I'm the tampon bandit ;)  "
I guess he had some down time at work today and checked out my blog post from yesterday, lol.

I had some errands to do today. Banking, groceries, pick up some office supplies (which I forgot my list at home, so need to go back). And lastly brought Kristy to her boyfriends house.
The Natural Gas company was suppose to change our gas meter, but I cancelled. I hate being in a rush, so I phoned and rescheduled.

I went to the bank today with Ashley.
She has an excellent credit rating and there is no problem with her getting a loan for a house :)
I am so proud of her.
The Mortgage Specialist  was very impressed with how much she has saved and her credit rating. I don't think she could believe someone as young as Ashley is so responsible. That's my girl :)
She also asked where in the city she would like to purchase a house from....I told her close to me, lol.
The lady told Ashley its a good idea to live close to your parents, she lives close to her mom and loves it.
I am so excited for her, but at the same time a little sad that she is going to be living on her own, and not be able to see her every single day :(
The housing market right now is crazy here. There are actually bidding wars going on. 

Hope you all had a creative day :)

Tracy :)

  11. Love the card! I love Pure Innocence stamps and I really like your combination of pattern paper that you used. It really is awesome that Ashley can purchase a house all by herself. I'm sure that she wont be moving far. You just happened to raise beautiful responsible independent women that love their family. How awesome is that. Good luck on her house hunting. I was wondering about the 30 F it didn't seem to be a good day to go for a walk LOL. Did Wayne happen to mention WHY he had the tampon box to begin with? At least he owned up :)

  17. I'm not even going to ask WHY Wayne was the tampon bandit... ;D

    You do find the cutest stamps to use! I love this one in the red especially.

    How exciting for your daughter to finally be getting her own place and yes, sad for you to have her go. I'm sure she'll still be over a lot!

  18. Oooh! Pretty background paper and pretty card! I wish the housing market would do that here - then we could probably move back into town! But maybe 6 1/2 months pregnant isn't really the time to be moving anyway...
    :-) :-) :-)
