Island Beauty

I love Rubber Stamp Tapestry's 3 peg stamp sets. They're easy to use and there is so much you can make with them. Today I'm using their Island Beauty set and just mixing up the colors.

The QFTD66 on Splitcoaststampers is Marie aka momof5sons and I cased this card of hers, changing the stamp set, turning my card, and using a different sentiment and colors. Just mostly kept her design.

Flower Spray

May I sound off a bit? Many years ago we had a sprinkler system put in the front yard. So, now it's going into the back yard along with some sod to replace some that had washed away, etc. Why didn't we do the back to begin with? No, I didn't want to. The crew started yesterday and cut my tv cable and a water line. Arghhhhh! Actually, it was no fault of theirs. They said the cable had been marked wrong and a long story with the water line. Just last week, we had ANOTHER storm and the tv cable went off on Sunday and didn't get repaired until Tuesday. Now, the cable company won't fix this until probably Monday. It is bad without a tv.
Edit: Two hours later-- My goodness, my internet and phone went out while typing  my upload. Guess what? Wire cut!!!!!!!! It is fixed temporarily until next Wednesday when it gets a permanent fix. Sometimes it just doesn't seem to pay to get anything done around your house. Does anyone agree?
I really shouldn't complain when I think of all the tornado, floods, and fire damage people have gone through and still suffering with.

So, on to my card. It is made using a KittieKraft tutorial for a flower spray. Kittie does awesome tutorials that are so easy to follow. Some of you may remember, last week I did one of her hydrangeas.

I want to enter my card into the QFTD 64 challenge on Splitcoaststampers. I cased a card made by the new Queen, Lee-Anne aka Shadow's Mom.
