Cards

I have never been interested in making cards. In fact, I rely on my friend Jing-Jing to provide me with cards to use for birthday parties. But this year, I decided I should make a couple of cards to send out to my family. I didn't get around to do the whole "annual holiday card" thing but a nice homemade card and a photo of the kids...what could be better?



With the help of some Crate and Fancy Pants chipboards, each card only took a few minutes to put together. Quick, easy, and homemade!

So, do you ever make your own cards?

After discussing if there may be boys in my six year old's new dance class, my daughter turns to me and says, "you want to put some money on that?". Not only did she use the phase properly, when asked what it means, she was able to explain it. Where did hear that....iCarly.

I had to laugh to hear my cute little girl using such a grown up sounding phrase!

I've become...

I've become a terrible, terrible blogger! I can make any number of excuses but I won't, I will just say, I have been busy! While I have been happy doing what I have been doing, I have not snuck much time for crafting. I think I have scrapped a total of 3 pages this past month and sewn one Roman shade. Other than that, my cool new supplies, Crate and OA's Farmhouse and Echo Park's Times and Seasons, sit here untouched. Sad I know.

I will share one of those 3 lonely pages --- I am still loving and using Crates Random collection when I do sit down to create. The colors are just fantastic with the bright fushia, navy, and mustard yellow...a combination that surprisingly works so well together. At least they work well on a scrap page, not sure I could pull it off in my attire!

Finally a single shot scrapped from our trip to Arizona in early November. It is only one of many, but it's a start!

Beautiful

I have been enjoying a short break from blogging. The kids have taken over....between birthday parties, Halloween, and then family vacation to Arizona, there hasn't been time for much else. Until today, I hadn't scrapped in well over a month. I haven't read any of your blogs let alone commented. I may even have a few unanswered emails sitting in my inbox. Pictures remain unedited and yet to be printed. Someday, maybe someday soon but for now, this is how it is.

Since I did scrap a bit today, I will leave you with this. H truly does light up the world with that smile of hers!! Love you H!!
