Two new Thank You cards.

Tonight was Friday Night Scrapbooking at my house. I not only got to chat (a lot) I also made 2 cards and paper pieced a little cutie.
I have so many "Thank You" cards to make, its not even funny. Some of you may even get some ;)
I didn't have just the right stamp for the "thanks a bunch". So what I did (OK, what Kristy did) was print these up on the computer. I am really into the browns right now. Here is my second card of the evening.
Here is the close up of the embellishment. I just think these are so pretty. They are all sparkly. I added the scallop oval to the back of it. It got lost on this background paper, so I added an oval as well.
Isn't this little monkey that I paper pieced so cute. I just played around until I got what I thought looked like a monkey. I couldn't find my tiny glue pen so I had to use my bigger one. You can see a tad of glue around some of the pieces. Guess I will be redoing this one. He is for one of my friendly Blogger/You Tubers.
This little monkey was being a little stinker. After I made him I couldn't find him anywhere. Sharon and I were going crazy trying to find it, we looked every where.
I finally found it in one of my cupboards. It got stuck to a binder I had out. Onto my day:
It snowed a bit again today. The wind really picked up and it is getting real cold. Brrrr, not happy. I don't like the cold weather at all. I don't mind the snow, but hate the cold. So I am planning on staying in all weekend, Yeah right, lets see how long that lasts.

I cleaned up the house a bit, in between blog reading, YouTube watching and Facebook stalking, LOL. Oh had to do a bit of bookwork and faxing today also. See my day isn't all about doing what "I" want to do.

Here is to the weekend with lots of time to create.

    So pretty! I love those embossed flowers. I have those little flower brad things you have in the middle of one. I'll have to try that as a flower center.

    Do you sell your cards? I haven't, but I've donated them to fundraisers before, and I'm always at a loss on how to price them.

    The monkey is adorable! I hate the cold and the snow. Definitely a good idea to stay indoors.
