OK ------ I finally have a chance to sit down and post!
For those asking my first day of the gel nail course went good! The only practical I did was putting on tips and filing (I knew I wouldn't like tips but it was more the fact that it's so insanely time consuming - especially for me b/c I wanted them all to be perfect!) and now I have a bunch of studying and chapters to read and questions to answer before next week.
Yesterday was Veronica's 5th birthday. I ended up throwing an impromptu birthday dinner for her with all her grandparents in attendance so I spent the day cleaning and cooking and got hardly any pictures but I'm hoping to take some of her with her birthday presents (which she's playing with right now and surprisingly the girls have been pretty well behaved all morning - of course with all the new things to play with they're kept nice and distracted *wink*).
I am still in shock that my baby is 5 and that she's starting kindergarten this fall!.............

Now here's a few cards I made before the weekend:
I used GinaK's new He is Risen! stamp set for all 4 of these cards, and stuck with Basic Grey's 6x6 Stella Ruby patterned paper.
The cross was stamped onto the paper using The Essential Glue pad, then I brushed on Aztec Gold PearlEx - in real life they're quite shimmery and elegant looking.
I used various ribbons, some gold brads, and Stampin' Up!'s Chocolate Chip and River Rock card stock on all of the cards to finish them off.
