Oh So Big

Posted on | August 27, 2008 | 5 Comments |

Ok, this Etsy thing that I mentioned earlier. Anybody sell on that thing? Does it work? Seems like there are A LOT of people selling there. How the heck do people find you? I really do have a lot of cards. I only send out a few. I just love making them. I do get attached to the cards that I make but it is getting a bit ridiculous and it’s only been nine months. I don’t want to temporarily quit making cards. Suggestions?

If you’re in the area, I’ll be teaching a card and a mini book class in Sept. Call the scrapbook store for the dates (I forgot). One’s a Wednesday and the other is a Thursday, both at 5:30 p.m. Yeah, MINI!!! I’ll be bringing in a few toys to create with. I think it’ll be fun.

Back to the layout… Here’s a funny picture that I love. Emma was just a little over a year old when this happened. Hubby’s so sweet, once in a blue moon, he’d buy us girls flowers. This was one of those days and this was also the first in M’s little life that she’s every seen such an arrangement. You can see from her expression that she was in awe. She signed “so big” after. It was just cute.

I didn’t use a lot of material for this. I used my goodies from Studio Calico: some SEI and Tinkering Ink stuff plus rub-ons (the golden itty bitty border) and a tag. The swirls and alphas came from my K-n-K. Love that machine! There is a downside. Instead of taking a few minutes to cut on a Cricut, it’ll take you 15 minutes because you can’t decide which font to use. Or, instead of using what’s in the CD, you just got to go make one of your own.

Ok, going to bed (1:30 a.m. almost)… have a great Wednesday!!!

That is so cute that she signed “so big” after seeing that! and how sweet (even if in a blue moon) that your DH brings you flowers!!! I will have to send this post to my DH and inspire him a little — I think he has gotten a little rusty … but in all fairness – I am pretty rusty too…. LOL! Doesn’t seem to be any time for those sweet little things in the insanity of it all – but this is great inspiration to make the time! Love your layout S. seriously beautiful!!!

wonderful page!
and in my opinion the etsy thing is worth it. i don’t have one (yet) but i’ve bought so much off there…and have had no problems at all. it doesn’t hurt to try. and all you need to do is put a link here on your blog.
good luck!
