Ever had one of those days where you lived a whole month inside 18 hours? That was yesterday…It was sheer craziness: work, back & forth to 2 schools, errands, appointments, teacher conferences, multiple committee commitments, a new Product Focus Review published at Splitcoast. church meetings and all those fun little things that the hubby considers right up there with bon-bons on the couch – you know: laundry, feeding the children, making the beds, finding time for a shower….I need a vacation!
I had started this card for today’s Way’s to Use It Challenge, hosted by my friend, Michele Boyer, over at Splitcoast a few days ago. Julie Campbell created a DARLING sample, as well. I was channeling ‘balcer‘, and used a little Splitcoast green. I finished it up while watching Idol on DVR at midnight. (I can’t even pick a favorite yet because I love several of them A LOT! Go Danny, Go Adam, Go Lil, Go Megan, Go Kris!) I used Splitcoast green to accent my new Unity Stamps.
Today, I want to ‘just be‘. I’ll let you know how that works out…tomorrow.

Oh Lori…I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels that way!!! Your card is adorable! This weekend is going to be a nice one for me. I am headed to the Women Of Faith conference in KC!!! It’s 10-3:30 and 7-9:30 on Friday and 9-5 I think on Saturday! I’m so excited about going. I’ve only been one other time and it was wonderful!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend too! Don’t overdo it too much!
Very cute stamps, darling card, definitely channeling Balcer!
This is just the cutest, Lori! Love the bright spring colors!!!
Boy did I have one of those days yesterday!
Love your card! Great colors!
Beautiful work! I love your blog! Off I go to subscribe….
ADORABLE! love it. {{hugs}}
Sorry about your day…I hope things are much better now, Lori!! I love your pretty colors you’ve used on this, and all of your stitching! I also love your popped your deer, flower, and ribbon!!
Love the balcer-feel to this one, Lori; the colors are whispering “spring”! Hope your next few days are a little less hectic, and I see from your WSC post, things are looking calmer!
I love how “scream” is in the middle of all those words. Sometimes I have to scream before I can pray! I know those days. I’m hoping to “just be” at my stamp table today with a few challenges in mind.
