Big Top Birthday with A*muse Studio!

a|s is still celebrating it's one year anniversary - and they are giving away FREE Polkadot Notecards with purchases over $25!  You can order online anytime from my online webstore!  (free notecard offer ends March 31 2012)     I used the Bermuda notecard to make an inverted window card - where I punched out the oval in the card and then Layered the panel to the inside of the card with pop dots.

The Under the Big top stamp set is also still on sale - as one of our Spotlight Specials!

I colored the Ring Leader in with regular Tombow markers on this card - very simple but with a punch of color.  I love how he fits perfectly with the words inside the oval.  I cut the oval with my Nestabilities ovals.

Before I layered my inside panel I tied a piece of Cherry Bakers Twine around the bottom edge of the card.  Doing it before adding the layer allows you to "trap" the twine - so it will not fall off  your card - and it is not visible on the inside!  Cool trick - thanks Sherry for the idea!

I am off and running this week - including a trip to MN to see one of my BFF's Annette!  I know alot of people wish they could ride along - and I have room!  :-) 

 I also have my 6 month check up today with my Oncology Dr. - and am excited to get the all clear!  I had my CT scan last week - so this is the first official look since i finished treatments.   I am just dumbfounded that it has beenalmost  6 months already!  I am so thankful and blessed to be able to put that chapter behind me - but to have grown and learned so much in such a tough few months!  Thankful for all the prayers and kind thoughts.  Thankful for God's grace to get me through it all.  So thankful...

Hey there, my sweet beautiful friend! I'm praying that all your test results were clear; and that you're having a wonderful time with Annette (B?). She is such a HOOT - say hi - if this is the great gal that attended one of your retreats. Love ya -- and your blog / sample cards!
