Hi Ho Hi Ho

it's off to work I go...
Well, sort of.
Arrangements have been made and confirmed for me to attend the Friedreich's Ataxia Patient Group Workshop in Toronto later this month.
I debated about going but after learning that there were only 4 people invited from Canada and only 1 from the US (with the remaining few being company representatives) I really felt quite honoured to be invited.
So, hubby and I leave Vancouver on the 15th to attend the workshop in Toronto on the 16th. My stepdaughter and her children (which are hubbys grandchildren whom he has never met!)are taking the train to Toronto from Sarnia on Wed. to visit with us. The workshop is over at 3:00PM on Wed. and we don't fly out until the red-eye on Thursday. So it'll give us lots of time to visit. Not only that, but my mother, brother and niece are all meeting up with us too. WOOHOO - I'm really looking forward to it - especially Thursday spending time with my family! It'll be short but sweet!!

This week I made a card for my friend. She lost her husband last year and with the long, cold days of winter, has been feeling down lately. So, I made her a card but after I mailed it I realized it wasn't very bright, uplifting colours!
She liked it, but I owe her another!

I stamped the 'elements of style' SU stamp on a piece of CS then matted a smaller lighter piece of CS and stamped and embossed it placing it directly over the previous stamped image with dimensionals. I then stamped, embossed and cut the hummingbird and adhered it with 2 layers of dimensionals. Misc. sheer ribbon and bow was added. I also used the SU scalloped border punch along the bottom of card.




Here's a closeup showing the embossing a bit better.



That's all the scrapping for this week folks.
Tommorrow I have to work on my agenda and get things ready for the
BC Ataxia Meeting on Saturday.
Next week, I have something new I want to try. Stay tuned.

Have a good weekend!
