Hi friends! How are you? I'm hunkered down in my craft studio for the next two days…I gotta get some stuff done! That's okay with me though. Kitty is in here with me and I have some tunes going on my iPad and it's all good. The hubs is relaxing in the family room. A perfect day. I made today's card as a thank you card for a good deed that someone did for me last week. It's a nice story.
I'm sitting at my desk at work last Thursday afternoon and feeling sort of sleepy due to Excel spreadsheet overload…so I got on my iPhone and wrote a facebook post saying "I wish Starbucks delivered." That's it, forgot about it, and kept going. Well…down the hall in another department a sweet co-worker read my post on her phone and wrote me back that she would go and get us Starbucks and deliver it!!! There's a Starbucks about 3 blocks away from our office…and she needed some fresh air… SO how great is that? Technology + facebook + sweet co-worker = Starbucks delivery! What did we ever do before iPhones? Don't answer that…don't speak of it…LOL.
So here's the card I made her to say "thanks a latte" to her for going and bringing me a much needed Venti Soy Caramel Macchiato! Her favorite color is pink…
This trellis (called Tessatina) die is a brand new die from Memory Box for Spring…I am in love! It looks very nice and crisp against this pink. This quatrefoil pattern is without a doubt my favorite new stamping 'thing' and it's popping up everywhere. Hero Arts has a new stamp (Studio Calico) with this pattern coming out soon. I saw it at CHA. YUM.
Here are my supplies…The stamp set is from Amuse Studio and I cannot remember (sorry) where I got this pretty washi tape. I put a touch of Stickles on the little steam clouds. Two Copics is all. R81 was a perfect match for this Bazzill paper.
This is what I put on the inside of the card….
This past week I got five new email subscribers! That puts me at 225 peeps who are kind enough to let me pop them an email when I post something new! This is very very touching to me and I'm really glad you're here sharing with me. Thank you! Have a great day everybody. 🙂

What a sweet co-worker and card! Aren’t the little things so enjoyable?!?! Love that stamp set and die cut! Have a great day….hope it includes a lovely cup of coffee!
What a sweet story and a very sweet card, Wanda! I just love it when people do something kind out of the blue like that. But then, you’re so darn sweet yourself, I’m not surprised that sweetness comes back to you.
LOVE your card!
Wanda, what a thoughtful co-worker. It is so nice to have little blessings like this to put remind us of the important things in life. The card is so stinking cute!!! But I would not expect anything less from you. Love it!!

Very nice! How do you glue down really tiny things like the trellis?
