Bella in Purple

Happy President's Day Everyone!

Hope everyone who works is enjoying this extra day off! As for me I think I'm going to go to Michael's after I post this today. I need a few things...you all know what that means, right? Don't we all go to the craft store & buy more than what we intended? We start out with good intentions & then we start looking to see what else they have or what's new that they got in or check out their clearance section & WHAM, we spent more than we wanted & it sure can add up fast!!! Well hubby gave me a gift certificate for Valentine's Day & I intend to use it today. Hope I stay within my limit....Yeah Right, like that's going to happen! Hehehe!!!

Well on to my card. I cased this fantastic card from Dawn of Dawns Stamping Thoughts she has a great blog with some amazing ideas & she is such a sweetie, your goin' to luv her, so run, (don't walk) on over there & take a peek to see what I'm talking about. I think I'll be making more of these, I had so much fun making this card. Hope you like it as much as I do!

Well I'm off to Michael's, so I need to take a shower first (I know, it's late but I've been dilly dalling around the house all morning & into the afternoon), so have a great day! Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs...Rita

Hi Rita! Your Bella card is so pretty! I really love the pretty colors and how you lined the inside of the card.

I know what you mean about shopping at Michaels. I always have the intention to buy one item and walk out with 10. I'm appalled with myself sometimes. I avoid going there unless I badly need something!!

Have a fun shopping trip!!
