Easel Card

I have been creating every single day (and even into the night), but I realized that I have not been sharing!  A lot of the work I am doing is for design teams, so I'll have to wait until reveal day to show you those things!  I took some time off of layouts to make some swap cards for a group of my co-workers.  I have not made one of these easel cards before, so I had fun! 

Items used: CTMH Cherries paper and TLC stamp set; Unity stamp; Mark Richards gems; Kraft paper; random ribbon

I have the day off today - yippee!!!  Last night was kind of a tough night.  Machines didn't work, flowers and cartridges were missing.  That's always hard.  Those of you that know me, know that I take great pride in my teaching, so it's always tough when things don't go right.  But yesterday is past, and I'm here on my day off!!  It's a BEAUTIFUL day here (80 degrees and low humidity)!  I whipped up a tuna macaroni salad this morning  with all fresh veggies in it from the farmer's market.  Jerry and I are going to take the boat out on the lake tonight to picnic, enjoy the scenery, and relax.  Sound like a perfect night to me!!
