two years later and i still can't stand to be apart from hubby for more than a day. two weeks - this is the longest time we've been apart and right during our second year anniversary. what can i say about my husband except that he is a blessing i am grateful for everyday. he has never asked me to be anything or anyone but myself and that unconditional acceptance has made me want to be an even better person. if i am any kinder, more patient, more understanding or more generous, it is merely because i have husband who has been all that to me and more. any difficulties and challenges that i have overcome, it is partly because i have husband who has always been there to support and encourage me especially when i am on the brink of giving up. all triumphs and milestones that i have accomplished, it is partly because i have a husband who has always believed in me more than i do myself. i say partly because i because i believe everything i am and i have i owe to a God who has been so good to me.so here's to my husband and the rest of our lives together.
i think the paper is pretty enough by itself, i didn't need to embellish much. loving the colors of k&co's que sera sera line, reminds me of nick bantock's griffin and sabine series. this one is for scrap and stamp saturday's 1st challenge. i used two stamps as background, the studio calico map stamp and the flower stamp from the making memories line. i finished this lo in less than half a day. anyway, off to church in a while. :)
scrap and stamp saturday's summer challenge
p.s.
still not as quick a scrapper as i want to be but maybe with more practice, i can churn out more of these in a day.
the card is for simon says stamp challenge, this week the challenge is to use tim holtz. i have just recently become a huge tim holtz fan (i know, what took me so long?). anyway, i managed to get the urban tapestry stamps and i am loving the set.
i was also able to finish the lo below for becky fleck's basic grey challenge. i've been eyeing the two new releases, lemonade and june bug, and i thought i might give it a try.
anyway, enjoy the rest of the weekend. there seems to be prospect of sun. :)

websters' pages backsides contest
what husband doesn't know won't hurt the marriage. just kidding, i have the best husband in the world who understands how scrapping (and scrapbook shopping) keeps me sane. although aside from the goodies on the way that i previously ordered, i should be done shopping until the 3rd quarter of the year. the last few months and especially the last weekend and week has been extremely streesful for me. i can't wait for the week to be over so i can start playing with these goodies. warning, exteremely picture-heavy post. looking at the pictures makes me happy and keeps me sane.
eta: it's past 6, weekend has officially begun. scrap goodies come to mommy. i just have to catch up on sleep and eat something first. looking forward to a scrap-filled weekend:)
my second order of the year from two peas - lots of cosmo cricket goodies from the early bird collection and girl friday, some k&co que sera sera papers, an ac thicker and an oa stamp.
a couple of glimmer screens and stamps from my tattered angels. i still have the flights of fancy stencils on the way.
then there are the imaginisce stamps from the all kinds of happy, summer cool and fairest of them all collections.
then there are some chatterbox together die cuts, crafty secrets and prima stamps.
