Little Miss Muffet: VALENTINE Release!!

Little Miss Muffet Stamps
Happy Thursday everyone! Sorry I've been a little MIA lately. I had gall bladder surgery a week ago and still recovering. I didn't realize how much pain I would be in. When they say quick recover they mean longer than 2 days apparently, LOL! I have my post-op appt today so hopefully I'm healing quickly! Thank you all for your prayers well-wishes!! It really means a lot!! I'm just praying that the stomach issues I've been dealing with for the past several years are finally gone. Things so far are going pretty good and I haven't had any of the stomach problems I was experiencing before the surgery!
Today, the LMM Design Team is showcasing cards using the newest stamps to hit the shelves at Little Miss Muffet for our VALENTINE RELEASE!! Oh my word, you're gonna love all of them!! You can view the new release inspiration from my fellow DT Sisters on the LMM Challenge Blog HERE! To go shopping and stock up on these AWESOME stamps, then head to the LMM Store HERE!!

And for an added BONUS,  they are on special - so from now until Sunday evening, these items are 15% OFF!   Plus, for a limited time, there is a free row of hearts stamp with every purchase - digi for digital orders and a rubber stamp for rubber orders!

For my card today I used this super adorable stamp called Monster Rose! I made my monster girly, but you could certainly color the monster blue and make him a boy monster. :)
 Copics:
Monster: R81, R83, R85, B00, B02, B05
Red: R22, R24, R27, R29, R39
Green: YG17, YG23, YG67

I tried my hand at a CAS card today. It was so hard not to keep adding stuff to it. I wanted to add a banner or something, but then it wouldn't be CAS, haha! The embossing folder is from a Cuttlebug Set called Love Is In The Air. The red felt ribbon is from Walmart. The sentiment is from One Little Dreamer Love Never Melts Clear Stamp Set.

Now be sure to head to the Little Miss Muffet Store to snatch up the awesome stamps from the Valentine Release! You're gonna love them!

Have a great week and see you back here soon!

7 Kids College Fund Challenge~ANYTHING GOES!

Happy Wednesday everyone!! I hope you all have had a great week so far! Yesterday I had surgery to remove my gall bladder. According to the doctor it was inflamed so it's probably a good thing I went ahead with the surgery before I had a full blown attack! Hopefully it fixes some of my health issues. It's supposed to be a pretty quick recovery time so we'll see how it goes. I just know last night I was in pain so I definitely need to be more consistent on taking the pain meds and taking it easy for the next few days.
