Loralei Shopper

Almost a month without a post.....whew! I thought I was getting better at this. Here is the shopping queen....definitely not me. Don't really like to make big shopping trips but a couple of times a year. Personally, I think food and clothing are overrated...cuts into the stamping budget too much! But she's cute and so much fun to color. Image is from Loralei and colored with Copic markers. I added a little glitter gel pen for sparkle. I had just purchased the MFT corner dies, so I had to use on my card. Not sure that it was a good move for this particular card, but it is what it is. 
On a personal note, just when I thought things were settling down, it all went a little crazy again. The hubby and I spent another two weeks in Ohio working at my dad's place and things are finally starting to take shape there. We got rid of a lot more of the outside clutter and started working on some of the outbuildings. Planning on another trip next summer.
Things with Kyli have been going well. She is responding extremely well to her treatments. She is at the clinic right now for an all day appointment for a chemo treatment and spinal tap. It won't be long though before she begins a segment of her treatment plan that will have them running to the hospital about 4 times a week most weeks. This will make it difficult for my DIL to work enough hours to make ends meet. Trusting that God will provide.....

The Shopping Queen

I used this new Lorali shopper stamp to make my card for the Queen for the Day challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers. This week's queen is Linda aka Hotwheels. I cased a card that she had done with a shopping theme. For my card, I used groovy guava and chocolate chip cardstock and SEI dsp. I used some of the dsp for paper piecing and Copic markers for the rest of my coloring. Added some tiny half pearls here and there and a big chocolate ribbon. The corner and border punches for the frame are by Martha Stewart.
