Leafy birthday


Monday morning! The kiddos are back in school and I'm back to work. *sigh*

Whipped up this quick card Saturday night for my SIL, Laura. Deep pink is not a color I would normally associate with her, but I still think she'll like it.
I really enjoy spending time with her...she calms me down, makes me laugh at myself, and is uber-talented.
I started with the black base because Kristina Werner issued a "use black" challenge on her blog Friday. The rasperry and green colors just came together like soymilk and cookies. *grin*  It was the first time I'd inked up Turning A New Leaf (which I absolutely adore!) and it was fun to add the glitter.

So what do you have planned for the week?

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.
