Love You Slow Much

Hi there blogging friends, 

my my, it has been a while.

I guess I'm averaging 2 cards a year these days...

Been too hot to be outside so maybe, just maybe

I'll squeak out another card before too long.

I painted up this way too cute Sylvia Zet image called

Love You Slow Much, find it here at Whimsy Stamps

with distress ink pads and added some glitter and pearls.

For whoever might stop by to see this,

I hope you are enjoying your summer so far,

or winter, for those paper crafters from down under,

thanks for checking out my project!!

hugs, stephanne

you warm my heart...

Hey there peeps!!!

Well, I have made something.

Only took me 2 months but hey, 

here it is, at long last.

I got this darling sugar nellie image quite some time ago and have finally painted it up with distress ink pads to give to my sweetie as a late anniversary card sort of thingy. 

I hope you're warm, wherever you're at. It's bone chilling in Kansas tonight.

hugs, stephanne
