Girls Getaway & A Week of Penny Black Cards

Hello friends. I just got back from a weekend trip with these girls.... left to right...
Top Row- Britta, Ginger, Mary, Jana, and Latrice
Bottom Row- Sandi, Nichol, Jennifer, Kathy, and me

Wow. That sums it up for me. To be surrounded by the love of these incredible, strong, talented, kind, strong women was just what the doctor ordered. They were all so patient with me as I'm still trying to work through things. They made me laugh which is something I didn't know when I was going to do again. I've said this many times but I'll say it again and again, I'm so thankful for this hobby. It brings people together that you would never have met otherwise. Thank you girls for an amazing weekend. Love you.

Moving onto the crafting...I actually got a lot accomplished. Miss Kathy brought her Penny Black stamps and I fell in love immediately. I felt like I was cheating on Hero Arts a bit but they will always be my first love. :) I am going to show you a week of cards featuring Penny Black stamps. Here is my card for Day One using THIS set...
A close up...

It's hard to tell but there is glossy accents inside the watering can to resemble water as well as on the flowers to make them look wet.

I'll be back tomorrow with another Penny Black card. Thanks for stopping by. I miss you guys. :)

Sounds like you had a great getaway! I bet it was easy to be inspired. Glad you had fun. The card is adorable. Had to laugh at your "felt like cheating on HA"...I have a hard time buying any other stamps too! LOL!
