…because Rebecca should have gotten her gum graft done this morning. I slept horrible because of it. You know how it is when you know your little ones will be in pain and there is nothing you can do.
So we go there at 8:00 a.m. and guess what? The receptionist who wrote the appointment down for me forgot to put it into the computer! I was upset. Not that I showed it. Mistakes happen, but it really messed with us! Rebecca hadn’t done her homework (we thought she would have all weekend), I was all nervous and for what? Man! So now her next appointment will be next Thursday at 9:00 a.m. I saw her put it in the computer, so hopefully that appointment will really be it.
Yesterday I finally got to stamp a little. I first worked on the tutorial for next week and made two samples. Next I finished a card that I had started last week Friday. It had been laying on my table ever since. I knew how I wanted to do most of the card, but I just couldn’t decide on what sentiment to use. I was stuck. Another reason I didn’t stamp over the weekend.
I cased the idea of the flower from the gorgeous Shadow box in the catalog. I LOVED that sample.
The card was made for last week’s Limited supply challenge: Back to Backgrounds.
I started with a 4 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ piece of Bashful Blue cardstock. I stamped first the Baroque, then the Canvas background in Bashful Blue over it.
Next the two right corners were punched with the corner rounder and the edges were sponged with Chocolate chip. It was layered on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I added a rounded photo corner on the bottom right, topped with five silver brads.
For the focal point I stamped the background stamp from Brocade Basics second generation in Always Artichoke on a 2 7/8″ x 3 1/8″ Very Vanilla Cardstock piece. That was layered first on a 1/4″ bigger piece of a Chocolate Chip, then on a 3 5/8″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Always Artichoke. I paper pierced the top right edge.
Next I inked up the word Enjoy from Lovely Labels with a Chocolate Chip marker and stamped it next to the flower stem. I stamped some flowers in Bashful Blue, cut them out and added them to the center piece. I added half pearls from the Pretties Kit in the center of the circular flowers and Dazzling Diamond glitter on the oulines of the double layered half flower. The flowers were adhered to the card with dimensionals.
5/8″ wide Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon was tied to the left hand side and a hat pin with more pearls was added.
Have a great day! Hugs and smiles

Oh gosh! Sorry that the morning didn’t go as YOU had planned…mistakes happen but I’m sure you both were psyched up to get this done and then that happens…ugh!
Your card is STUNNING! I love those colours together and that ribbon and hat pin is stunning!
Sorry about the mixup! What a way to start a day. Your card is so beautiful (as always). It is truly a piece of art. Thanks for teaching me how to get out of my rut.
This is one of my favorites! You really did a wonderful job with this! Is Bashful Blue still available? I ran out and would love to see it again! Deb
Horgeous as always! I love your use of the pretties!

Talk to you soon.

Wonderful!!!
I should say wonderful card. (((HUGS))) about the appt.
Great card. Sorry about the bad night, try sleeping with a sleep-walker. I think my husband slept walk at least five times, and I have troubles falling back to sleep. Oh, well!!
Love your card! Sorry about your appt. My husband is in the AF. I don’t like going there for medical needs. They often mess up my appt. I know how you feel.
*gasp* This is jsut stunning, Beate!!! Now I *need* this set!!!
I love this card!! The rich colors, the cut out images, piercing, all of it!
I can not even imagine having that happen. That is awful for both you and Rebecca. I am sure she was dreading the appt too, now she gets even longer to be dreading it. I am so sorry!!!!
HUGS
Gorgeous card, Beate! Sorry about the mix up with Rebecca’s gum graft. I know how you feel – our son’s open heart surgery was bumped TWICE at the last minute. THAT is nerve wracking!
Sorry about Rebecca…that stinks! Hope all goes well for her next week. Your card is gorgeous…love the flowers!
Beate,
I probably would have started crying if they had gotten the appointment wrong…..that’s horrible! I’ll keep Rebecca in my thoughts for next week.
Your card is gorgeous, love the trumpetie flowers with the pearls!
Oh boy, that would be frustrating. I feel for you both.
Absolutely stunning card!
🙂
Sorry about that appointment. I know what it’s like to worry, waste time worrying, and then have to do it all over again. It just takes too much energy!
I love the card though! The sentiment fits! I really like the rounded photo corner too — wouldn’t have thought about rounding it myself. Jeanne
That totally stinks! But the card is beautiful! : )
What an oh so elegant card, Beate!! I hope that you have a much better start to your day today. Soooo sorry things didn’t go as planned yesterday morning (not that you were looking forward to it in the first place!)…it’s always those unexpected things that can throw you for a loop. Hang in there!! 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous…….as usual. I wish I had just a pinch of your talent.
/p
Oh the card is so beautiful that my favorite color are brown and blue. Do not worry if you are busy to take care of children. Smile
Hope she feels better. Thank you so much for showing me
WOW this card is AMAZING! I love the way that blue just pops with those flowers! So sorry about your daughters appt! That would be a dissapointment! Have a GREAT weekend! {SMILES}
Beate, this is beautiful!!!!! I love the blue and brown.
I am so sorry about what happened with the scheduling!
Your card is stunning!! I love the colors, dimension, pearls and pin!! Gorgeous!!!
That stinks! I am so sorry that happened to the two of you. Now you have another week to dread it! Uhh! Keep us posted. On the lighter side…this card is really beautiful! Take care.. 🙂
I have never wanted this stamp set…until now. This card is just breathtaking Beate! It is gorgeous in every single way.
Sorry to hear about what happened at the doctors office. Now you and your daughter are going to have to go through the whole ‘worry’ thing again. I’ll be thinking about you both next week and praying that everything goes OK.
