Happy Stinking Birthday!

Hello!  Hello!  Did you think I was lost?  Who was wondering (besides Cathy who left me a comment) where this week's cards were?  I guess I was having one of those non creative weeks.  But not totally, after all, I did teach a card class on Tuesday and that was creative!  On Wednesday, my hubby & I drove up to Arlington and went to a Rangers game.  On Thursday, I tried to make a card but nothing would work like I wanted it to.  But last night, I did it!  I made a card that is just as cute as it can be!  But, the problem is when to post it.  Since, today's post is supposed to be a Saturday share day and not just some regular card post day.  Well, I am doing both!  There will be a post right after this one for the Saturday share, so look for it!  Back to my cute card for today, I recently saw on one of the blogs I frequent, the most adorable card.  And I thought, I must make one like that.  So, today is a total "case" from this card here.  Let me show you mine ... enjoy!

I know it is very much like Jackie's that I cased.  But, why mess with a good thing?  What's the saying ... if it aint broke, don't fix it!  Jackie does not know me, but I feel like I know her thru her blog ... so thanks Jackie for one adorable creation!

Those of you who follow my blog might have noticed that I skipped a Texas Tues-step last week.  I just wasn't feeling it.  But, somehow Mark with Deadbeat Designs must have sensed that from me and decided I needed a few new Texas stamps to get me excited about Texas Tues-Steps again ... On Thursday, a box came for me in the mail ...
 

Oh my gosh ... his new stamps!  Woo Hoo!  I am one lucky girl!  Texas Tues-Steppin' here I come! 
Don't forget to look for my second post today, the Saturday share. 

Enjoy the holiday weekend!
Happy Stamping!
