It's like when Stella got her groove back...

...except I got my scrap back!! Oh, how I've been dreaming of the day when the inspiration gods would lay their hands upon my head and say, "Get scrapping, Sam!" I can't completely blame my lack of creativity on "the blahs" since I was pretty sick this past week. I don't know about you, but when I'm sick, I'm in no mood to make anything, not even dinner. I'm definitely getting better now that I have some good meds, so I'll be A-OK.

Now, onto my new card! I whipped this one up last night for my friend who just had a baby last week. I went to visit them today and reconnect with another friend I haven't seen in a couple of years, and I had so much fun! Babies are so cute and they smell so yummy (don't get any ideas just yet, mom)! She liked the card so much that she said she was going to frame it and hang it in her baby's room since it matches the new decor! LOL :)

For this card, I used those great $1 Inkadinkado stamps that my wonderful mom picked up for me last week. The patterned paper is from the Basic Grey "LilyKate" paper pad I picked up at Big Lots of $2! Score! The main flower is a small Prima with a Garden Party flower behind it that I got on clearance at Target (yup, this girl is all about the bargain!). The ribbon is American Crafts, and all the little acrylics are "Skittles." This may be difficult to see, but I used a Stampin' Up! wheel stamp to roll across the green strip of paper to give it a very soft and subtle look. I used my Dew Drop "Key Lime" ink pad to ink up the wheel. I really like these small ink pads. They're great for getting into tight spots, and they have a wonderful matte look.

This past week was also a very good scrappy mail week. First, I received my All Moments Remembered monthly kit which is absolutely beautiful. Then, I got two awesome ATCs from my scrappy friends. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of one of them, but here's the card that accompanied it. Great sentiment!

This ATC is from a friendship swap from my new scrappy pal. She taylored the card just for me! On the front we have my favorite flower, and when you lift up the flap, we have my favorite animal! The entire card is also done in my favorite color. She couldn't have captured anymore of "me" if she tried!

Lastly, I won a little something over on Laura's blog, Where the Tigardlily Grows. She sent me the cutest card along with some of the ever-popular "Skittles" as well as a real bag of candy Skittles! LOL! She had me cracking up over here.

I think you're all officially caught up. I have lots to accomplish this weekend, but as I'm still working on getting better, I'll probably be taking it easy and just laying low. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and thanks for stopping by!!
