No Electricity!

Hi, everyone! I'm working tonight from Chris's office, because we have been without electricity at home since about 3:00 yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. We had terrible winds (gusts around 75 mph) all day -- compliments of Ike! Duke Energy said that 900,000 (about 90%) of their customers were without power, the most ever. It's down to about 600,000 at this point, and we're among them! It's a mess around our area -- lots of trees down, minor damage to some homes. Our rear gutter is in a mangled heap in our backyard! Luckily, though, no one was hurt, and I know that many others in our country have dealt with much worse. It certainly makes me count my blessings!

Anyway, I'm here at Chris's office, getting laundry done and catching up on computer stuff, so I thought I'd sneak in a quick post. I made this card early yesterday before the storm hit. It's for the Featured Stamper Challenge at SCS. This week's FS is lazylizard. I CASEd her card shown HERE. I changed the colors and images, and I added some layers, ribbon, and a Cuttlebug background.

The images are from First Fruits by Papertrey Ink. It is a gorgeous set, full of autumn and Thanksgiving images and sentiments. I created the "patterned paper" on the corners by stamping repeatedly with one of the images in the set. On the corners and the image panel I did a lot of rock-and-rolling. I really like how it turned out!

That's all I have for now! I don't know when I'll get more stamping in or when I'll get back on the computer, so I hope you'll check back with me! Thanks so much for stopping by -- I hope to be posting again soon! :)
