Day One: Birthday Wishes

Posted on | May 29, 2010 | 16 Comments

Kristina Werner is hosting a color challenge again and I had to play. When I saw the colors I thought they’d go perfect with WPlus9’s new stamp set: The Birds and the Bees. Super super CUTE with tons of possibilities and if you want to see more, hop on over to Dawn’s blog and see what she’s done. Plus she has an awesome giveaway!!

This is a long weekend for us. Actually for M it’s a week long break. It’s her mid-summer break. I’m not sure what to do with her for a week, it’s a new thing for me being home with her during breaks, but we’ll figure out some fun things to do. She did get a bike yesterday so there’s that. She’s still a bike newbie so even on training wheels she’s still flip-flopping everywhere because the sidewalk’s not even. But, she said she’s getting the hang of it.

We’re organizing still. It seems never ending but I know we’ll get there.

Ok, gotta go and do more chores. Ta ta for now!!

2-in-1

A card for Kristina’s colors and Cuttlebug challenge. Yeah me {::SMILES}. I had fun making this. I had no clue what I was going to do with all the many colors but I did it! I LOVE the new SU animal set, love me these owls!!! Behind the owls there is twine going around the frame but I got carried away and ended up covering it. Oh well. But it’s not bad, I kind of like having bits of red poking out.The clouds and branch is Sassafrass (an owl set too) and using one more of Cloud’s flower (LOVE!!).

Ok, short post. M and I are going on a lunch date. She wants Mexican, YUM!!! Laters!

Finally a Card

Just a really quick post. I haven’t been doing a lot of crafty stuff. But today I really need the break. Had a rough night with the Jove. I don’t think she liked the onions that I ate. So no more raw onions for me. Darn. I love them on hamburgers!!!

For this card I used Kristina’s colors: Gray, rust, mustard, and cream and Kazan’s sketch. The background paper is Cosmo and the stickers are Basic Grey. For the YOU I used my Klic-N-Kut. That thing’s been neglected.

Ok, we’re off to visit some friends. More later!!

The Poo Story…

Posted on | June 12, 2009 | 17 Comments

Before the story, here’s my card using Kristina’s colors for this week. Just something quick and simple. I need a few thank you cards to give to all sorts of people, from friends to the folks at the hospital. With baby I can’t spend an hour working on a card so here’s my simple creation from today:

My poo story… I think there should be a note on every onsies: Take cautious when unbuttoning. Without much care, poo can literally propel from the buttons on to your face, clothes, arms, and wall.

The poor husband. He’s been a great sport. A lot better than when M was a baby. Hubby’s been changing poopie diapers like a champ, until the other day. His poopie phobia came back. He was screaming for me to come into the room. When I got there he was running around in circles and said: Hurry, hurry, hurry, I got shit on my face. I thought he was kidding and when I realized he was for reals, instead of being a great sympathetic wife, I laughed my ass off. Ahh… the joy of parenthood {::SMILES}.

He’s recovered but now he’s taken extra caution when changing Jovie’s doodoo he he he…

One More Week…

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!!!!
