Hi! I'm finally back:) Thank you for all the wonderful thoughts, emails, prayers and cards. It means so much to me. It's been three weeks since my surgery and things are going well. I have strict orders of NO stamping or driving and a ton of other things but the no stamping or driving is really hard!!! Lucky for me I have awesome DT mates from FLLC, i {heart}papers and KSS who have offered to stamp images for me to color. They just ROCK my world! Thanks so much ladies:) You may remember my husband is a good stamper as well. He is more than willing to stamp for me:) Thanks to all of them I am able to post again YIPPEE!!
So today's card is for the KSS challenge Going Green. Lynn is our hostess this week. Instead of designer paper I cut this bag and ran it thur the cuttlebug.
This is the finished card. I used the 3 Step Butterflies and Vintage Words sets from KSS.

Thank you for stopping by. See you tomorrow:)

Dee,
Glad to see you are back. I'm not sure how stamping becomes a restricted activity, but I'm happy to hear that you are "easing" back into it. This is a great way to start and it proves that we can find designer paper almost anywhere! Fantastic.
