Hello hello everyone!
I trust y'all had a great weekend? Mine was fine - Tim and I went to a local comedy gig Saturday night and yesterday I basically took a *lazy day* and didn't do much of anything. And honestly I needed it. Even though I felt guilty for not hacking away at all my "to-do" lists, I still NEEDED to just do nothing.
And now that my *lazy day* is behind me I have tons to do and I'm doin' them! So while the dishes are cleaning in the washer and clothes are in the washer and dryer I'm gonna get this post done before moving on to the next task.

So for today's card I pulled out one of the Recollections stamp sets that I purchased at Michaels and showed in my most recent haul videos.
And like I mention in the video the set doesn't have a name on it. I looked all over the packaging and around the bar code but there was nothing (a few numbers over the bar code but that was it). It is SO annoying that they don't name their sets!
Anywho if you don't have a Michaels near you you can check e-bay, Amazon etc etc as I've seen a lot of the Recollections sets on there for about the same price (maybe even a bit cheaper) as you'd pay at Michaels.
To see how I made the card check out the following video:

May Arts 1/2" Red Wrinkle Ribbon (I originally purchased mine from All That Scraps - they don't have any in stock anymore - I've been getting a LOT of questions about where I got this ribbon. I suggest contacting ATS to see if they can get it in again as it's a GREAT ribbon for cardmakers - and it comes in a wider width too that I wish I had now as well as the 1/2" width I have and always use)
