Something specials going on...

This week over at
we have a special challenge going on.

This week each designer will be showcasing a
product that was supplied to us by Madeleine and her online shop.

the



For this week challenge you must use one, or two, or more
of the products that one of us has showcased on our blog.



The product I am showcasing is the gorgeous
EMBOSSING folder I used on this card.
I think it made this card look so elegant. Don't you? 

That was not the only item I received from
the Craftsite.  I also received the paper flowers I used here as well.


So to get more details on this challenge you can hop on over to CCCB.

Here are the links to the rest of the team if you want to see
what product they are showcasing. 


There is a wonderful prize up for grabs you should play along. 

And if you get the chance you should hop on over to 
the CRAFTSITE 
lots of wonderful goodies to purchase. 





So the exciting news that I mentioned on my last post 
is that we might start our Big Adventure sooner than we thought.

All along we had planned on renting our house out.
Well the housing market has improved a bit here in Vegas and
we changed our minds.  So now we are selling..
Our house will be put up on the market TODAY. 
YIKES..

We wanted to make sure it sold before our original departure date. 
So if it doesn't we will go back to plan A. Renting our house out. 

Wish us Luck!!

We spent last week packing and sorting and packing and sorting.
What goes to storage. What will come to the trailer with us. And what 
gets given away.  When you live in a house for 15 years
you sure do collect a lot of stuff.

I just wanted to let everyone know I will keep on Blogging.
There might not be as many crafy post. But I will share with you 
all the wonderful destinations we will be visiting all over the US and Canada.

I'm so excited... 


Thanks so much for stopping by

Till next time..

Love your embossed card Linda! Very elegant! Love the photo of the stamps too. While I've mostly been creating with thread lately, a box of rubber stamps can still make me drool. Lol Just think of all the photography options you are going to have on the road!

Wish you all the luck in the world. Am crossing my fingers and my cats' paws !! It is a bit sad to part with our dwelling places, brings me back to my childhood place when we moved out 20 years ago. But, that means renewal and new adventures awaits!!. HUGS.

Love your elegant wedding card. The black and white combo is so crisp and inviting and I adore all those layers. Beautiful layered flower and embossing, too!

Gail Dixon said...

I think selling the house is a good idea, rather than renting, so I hope it sells quickly! Nice to know that the housing market is coming back. Woot! What an adventure. I'd love to have the courage to do something like this. Your card is gorgeous and "elegant" is a word I would definitely use to describe it.

Mona Pendleton said...

Wow Linda! What a major life change! Hopefully you will get the chance to see your daughter and grand son more often than not! :)

Ros Crawford said...

I love your pretty card ... And it reminds me of you and your hubby ... they lived happily ever after ... I'm so glad things are going well for you ... I can't even imaging trying to clear out this house ... i shudder at the thought of all the things hoarded!

Sweet, wonderful creation Linda, great used of that embossing folder.

I am excited for you, I think you will have no problem selling your house, my friend sold it in 2 days when they have to move to Hong Kong, there just aren't enough private seller here in LV.
