What an Experience

Hello weekend. What a week it has been. Totally out of my comfort zone, but I did meet some amazing people while there. Learned ALOT of good information. I received my 2 certificates. All while having a good time. Made it home safely yesterday. Very happy to see my family. Not used to being away from them that long. Now it's back to the real world. Luandry , house cleaning, making meals and back to work on Monday.

Introducing our end of the table:  Denna, Cora, Me, Lora, Roseanne, and out front Raj

Miss all my new ladie peeps.

4 out of 5 complete

Hi all. This is my last night in the big city. One more day of class and I head up the hiway home. Dispite my fears at the beginning it has turned out to be a good week. I have met alot of different people and become close friends with afew. I will miss them after tomorrow. I have even managed to drive use around shopping, Grant you it's still on the same street as the motel.

Last night we were able to relax. The end of the first section, and the test was written. What a releaf. I passed. I spent the evening coloring a card. So relaxing.

This is a one layer card. I stamped the images right onto the card base.  I colored it with prisma pencils.

Waaaaay Out of My Comfort Zone

Good evening all. Before I get to my card I would like to share with you my day. When I started my position as Compliance Associate five months ago I have been dreading this day. They told me I would need to take a Health & Safety Core Training. This consists of five days of training in the city. I live in a small town where I was born and raised. Nice country setting just outside of town. I managed to miss the first date, but then the next training session came up. No avoiding it.

So after a few nights of unsettled sleep, the day arrived to go. The first part of the journey was fine. Straight to visit my daughter which I have driven several times. But then the butterflies started again, when I was driving new territory. But 20 minutes later and very proud of myself I arrived at my motel. Checked myself in and waited for my roommate to arrive.

Another high five to myself, when she arrived I drove us to Walmart to get some groceries. Ok, that wasn't too bad it was on the same street as the motel. (So is the Michael's that I will be visiting later this week)

Now if you are still with me, here is a card I forgot to post. This is the last card using this floral set for awhile.

I stamped the images all over the background and colored with prisma pencils. I then took a rectangular die and cut the centre out. I placed fun foam behind it to give it dimension. Lastly is used perfect pearls on the centres of the flowers.

Thinking of Spring

Happy Sunday afternoon friends. It has been another snowy weekend. Light snow for most of the last two days, but not a whole lot of accumilation. Nothing like last Monday.

Yesterday I finally die cut the flowers I had colored.

I first started with a stencil and two colors of distress inks. The images were colored with prisma pencils. I then die cut with the matching dies, and arranged them ontop of my distressing. The sentiment was stamped on a thin piece of white cardstock. I lined one end with the edge of the card and flagged the other end. Adding it to my card with foam adhesive. I used liquid pearls for the centre of the yellow card. 

It's been so long since I've actually finished a card in time for the challenge.  I am entering this one in Freshly Made Sketches - 377
