One More Week…

Posted on | May 26, 2009 | 21 Comments |

Almost!! Until my due date of June 4th. So far nothing exciting is happening in terms of labor. With my luck, just like M, she’ll show up on her due date. In the meantime, during my insomniac moment, I made the below… I used Kristina’s colors for this week: black, white, red, blue, and yellow.

Oh, I’ve gotten a few emails on what envelope I use for my larger/super bulky cards and where I get them (most of my cards are 4.25×5.5″ but a lot of times I have stuff sticking out of them… like this ribbon). Well, I’d go to Hallmark, we have one in town, and ask if they have any leftover bigger size envelopes. They usually do and they’d sell them to me for $.03 each. Pretty cheap I think. Even though I can stick this one in a regular envelope I hate how the ribbon will end up looking once you take it out. So I stick with bigger envelopes. If I give a gift with a card sometimes I don’t even do an envelope. I just tuck the card under the ribbon inside the gift box and it’ll be part of the gift decor. Is that rude? I don’t know but my card stays nice ha ha ha…

I also have a little toot… I’ll be guest DT-ing at CardPatterns next week (sketch #17). Yeah! It was my first time playing there and really didn’t expect to win sketch #15. So I was super super happy when I got online Monday and clicking through my Google Reader and saw my card plus the email from Michelle. I’ll get working on this tonight… in case I have a baby {::SMILES}.

Oh, one last thing… it’s SIX (6) more days until the big 2Sketches4You contest!!! TONS of prizes and the big winner gets to keep over $500 worth of stuff!!!!
