It's true

Things do happen in three's. I am dealing with my insurance company because of a roof leak. They aren't going to replace it. I have to replace not only the furnace but the air conditioner as well. I'm a little concerned about the dishwasher but that would be starting another three set. Don't tell the dishwasher I'm worried - that's between us.

My daughter in laws birthday is coming up and this is her card. I used alcohol inks on vellum and a die cut from Stampin' Up lightly sponged. Added some gold embellishments to the center of the flowers and some strips of black cardstock where the vellum joins the cardstock. The sentiment is Memory Box.




Be kind to one another.

Oh, my! I guess when it rains it pours or in your case it pours out worn out appliances. But you certainly made a lovely card and I know it will be so appreciated by your daughter-in-law. And, I won't say a word about the dishwasher. I hope your week goes much better from now on.

Yep, things seem to break down in three's. It's good to get it all done now before the snow flies, so the timing is a good one, I'm hoping.

Your card for your DIL's birthday is gorgeous Brenda. She is going to love it. The colours of the AIs on vellum are so pretty and I love the sweet flower die. xx

This is a gorgeous background, Brenda! The die cuts are beautiful with it! Do good things happen in threes too? If so, you should be getting a big cluster of good!

Oh Brenda, I'm so sorry for all that is going on! When it rains, it pours and yes, it seems things happen in three's. Glad you have a sense of humor about it because what else can you do?! This card is stunning Brenda, I love the color's you used on this card too. Your DIL will love it! Hugs, Brenda

Hi Brenda, Oh dear! Yes things always seem to come in three's, earlier this year we had three ambulance trips within the family, stroke, heart-attack and broken ankle, all within 8 weeks. All are now on the mend. Love the inky background you have used, and the die cut flowers look great. Have a wonderful weekend... Megan

I hear you on the three-some issues that always seem to come at the same time! My lips are sealed as far as that kitchen appliance goes :) Your card is lovely with a gorgeous background and I love those little gold centers on each flower!
