No Layer Card

Posted on | July 2, 2009 | 9 Comments |

Before I start, I just want to tell my blog friends that I’ve been a terrible blog hopper. I haven’t had a lot of time to do that. When I do find a bit of time for me I either nap, eat, get cleaned up (I smell like spit-up A LOT… it’s my daily perfume!!), or make a quick card/page. I still try to go once a week so that I can see what kind of goodness you all have done but not much. Sorry about that!!!

Ok… to my post…

I felt like coloring last night and with stamps going up each year I thought I’d try to make more no layer cards for mailing and I’ll use the more bulky cards for those I give by hand (we’ll be seeing a lot of family this year too due to our move) or cards that I insert in packages. For this card I used my Copic markers and an SU stamp. I think it look Hallmark-ish {::SMILES}.

Sorry about the crooked picture. I was holding Jovie and my other hand was having a hard time holding the Nikon… too stinkin’ heavy for one hand! Next week I should have my new Beco Butterfly II carrier. It’s super cute. I was going for the owl but M said the Avery was more stylish. I listened to the 5-yr-old and now wondering if I should have gotten the owl. With the carrier I’d be able to be more hands free and so no more crooked photos and shaking paper/ribbon bits off my newborn since she was sleeping in between my legs on the bed while I crafted. I can’t wait! I had a hard time between the Beco and the Pikkolo. But the Beco’s designs won me over.

Then here’s a glimpse of me last Saturday…

I can now feel my stomach muscles and just yesterday I got into one of my size two pants. YES!! Ok, my thighs still need work. I can only fit into pants with longer zippers but I have faith, it’ll be soon! {::SMILES}

Ok, more later… hopefully soon.

Gosh, you already look so slim! :)

Hey, I was thinking the same thing as you…to make no layer cards for posting! Hopefully I’ll be able to make some as nice as yours :)

This card is, yes, very hallmark-ish :D

Congrats on the pant issue! Hm no I think M was right, Avery is the better one, I think it’s prettier – suits Jovie better ;) Very funny poo story btw. Many greetings from sunny Heidelberg
