Our Friendship is Forever!

Hello friends!  I hope everyone is having a lovely week!  I've been having a great time with my crafty self, and hoping a LOT for the weather to get better!  =) 

Anyhow, I was so so SO excited about the new Lawnscapings Challenge!  I love making my own patterned paper using fun stamps!  I also loved the colors this week over at CR84FN's Challenge, and so here's what I came up with:

The stamped image is the big raindrop from Lawn Fawn's "Partly Cloudy" stamp set, and it just makes the most fun image!  I matted that down and used some shabby sheer green ribbon to tie a bow!  I added a sentiment and a button on the ribbon for an added touch!  =) 

This card was inspired by:
1. Lawnscapings #7 Challenge - make your own patterned paper
2. CR84FN #22 Color Challenge

      

 =D  Yay fun craftiness!  I hope you'll choose to play along with each of these awesome challenges!!! 

Finally, I promised about a week ago that I'd put up a picture of the hardwood floors that we found under the carpet in our dining room!  Here's a picture of the floors after I polished them with Orange Glo:

 

Why would you EVER cover these up?!?!?!   They are fabulous, and our dining room looks SO much better now! 

Ok well it's time for me to get to bed!  Have an amazing night everyone!  Be back tomorrow with more cards with doilies (I know I'm obsessed!  hehe!)
