		<title>Camptastic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend David and I went camping with our next door neighbors Brad and Allie.  These two are straight up hilarious, they even  have a Nascar kiss!  It was the first time we had spent any real exclusive time with them and hey, what better way to get to know one another than to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=melodiegrace.wordpress.com&blog=4373546&post=344&subd=melodiegrace&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Grateful for wonderful you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once again, I would like to say how grateful I am for my husband.  I know I devoted a full 7 posts to him in June, but he really deserves so much more.  Sometimes I marvel at how giving this man can be.  I was laying awake in bed one morning, relishing how lucky I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=melodiegrace.wordpress.com&blog=4373546&post=338&subd=melodiegrace&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Friendly Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple weekends ago my friend Brandi came to town.  She is a fellow papercraft fanatic and we were up &#8217;til the wee hours of Sunday morning creating cards.  Here are a couple examples from that design session.

We decided on a friendly challenge that evening.  We agreed to each make a card inspired by this bag. 

This is my result.

		<title>Waitressing. The new lazy.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am perplexed. Puzzled. Befuddled.
Today a friend and I went to a decent sushi shop for lunch.  We had service that was less than impressive, but at the end of the meal, came a real shocker.  I asked the waitress for a bowl of red bean ice cream and, after glancing around the restaurant, she replied, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=melodiegrace.wordpress.com&blog=4373546&post=328&subd=melodiegrace&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Flutterby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months back I got a couple Martha Stewart butterfly punches.  One didn&#8217;t punch right so I had to take it back and exchanged it for a dove shaped punch because they were out of the larger butterfly and of course I didn&#8217;t want to wait.  And I have a thing for birds.  SO &#8211; now I have a dove, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=melodiegrace.wordpress.com&blog=4373546&post=323&subd=melodiegrace&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Ode to Ginger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My sister in law Melissa gave me the fantastic sentiment stamp below (or let me borrow it for a very very long time&#8230;can&#8217;t remember!) .  I love what it says and had the perfect little high heeled shoe embellishments to use with it!  Products are from a mix of companies including SU!, Marvy and others-  word stamp is by [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=melodiegrace.wordpress.com&blog=4373546&post=316&subd=melodiegrace&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Fifth Avenue Floral</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I borrowed this SU! stamp set from my friend Stephanie.  I had some ideas I wanted to try but don&#8217;t own the set.  It is so convenient to have friends who stamp and are willing to share!

I think I will leave the insides of these cards blank for the time being because they could be used [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=melodiegrace.wordpress.com&blog=4373546&post=312&subd=melodiegrace&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Family Ties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my older brother Mark, his wife Melissa, and their boys Ezra and Lincoln.

This card totally reminds me of Melissa.  When I think of her, I think elegant with a splash of spunk.  She moved around a lot growing up so she experienced a lot of different styles and cultures.  She is great at [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=melodiegrace.wordpress.com&blog=4373546&post=302&subd=melodiegrace&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pattern of Friendship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I am thinking about friendship.  This has been on my mind a lot lately. God has blessed me with so many wonderful people, in so many interesting ways! There are people I never would have known had it not been through some connection within my family.  Then there are those I met in completely [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=melodiegrace.wordpress.com&blog=4373546&post=297&subd=melodiegrace&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>More little cuties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These are two more cards I made with the discontinued Gifts of the Orient set from SU!.  On all four of these cards I stamped the images on white cardstock, then again on patterned paper.  I then cut out the little kimonos so they would look like fabric.  I used some Japanese papers out of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=melodiegrace.wordpress.com&blog=4373546&post=292&subd=melodiegrace&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
