Finally, I get to post!!

I finally got my computer back today!! I got some kind of a trojan virus on it on Thursday and had to take it in again to be fixed!! Agrhhhh!!!!

I couldn't decide what to use for the Sweet Dreamers Challenge#2 card, which we were to use something recycled. So I started looking in my garbage can (in my craft room)!! Everything, except the card base is from the garbage!! I was practicing on the flower stamps and didn't like any of them for the card I was originally making, but actually thought they looked ok for this card. The card base is Pretty in Pink, the white is PTI. The stamp is SU Greenhouse Garden. I used Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo and Certainly Celery inks. The top green paper is the backside of a misc. dp, and the bottom green is a piece of Kiwi Kiss. I added a piece of green sheer ribbon and popped one of the flowers up on a dimensional. Here is a close up of the top of the card. I also stamped some of the flowers on the card base.

Close up on the bottom of the card. I really like this set. Once I get the hang of it!! Eventually, I'll have to try it in different colors!!
Had a busy day today. My Grandson Hunter is spending the weekend with us. Today we went shopping at Target and got a new Thomas the Train train set! Then we had supper at
B-Donalds (McDonald's) and then a trip to the park. Came home, had a bath, then we put together the train set, watched a few cartoons, ate some popcorn, had a few stories, the Hunter was fast asleep!!!
Tomorrow, we will start all over again!!!
