I was worried I wouldn't be able to post today. Tonight begins yet another 3 night stretch of work for me (don't worry, I have posts prescheduled! *lol*)
Jonah has been pretty active lately now that his bout with the flu is over. And my almost-6-month-old Malia is quite the handful now that she's discovered CRAWLING (not super coordinated yet, but homegirl can get herself from point A to point B in a FLASH when we're not looking! We swear she thinks she's older than she really IS!)
So my beloved craft time is slowly dwindling. I try to sneak in coloring or cardmaking everyday, but with 2 kids under 3, I'm LUCKY if both are napping at the same time and when that happens, I've got chores around the house to do, phone calls to return, DVR I need to catch up on, or sleep I sorely miss.
My next request from my DH is a TV in my craft room (complete with a DVD player and DVR hook up! Too many fall shows that I need to keep up with!
Anyway, here's the card for today:
I had a chance to play along with Mojo Monday's sketch this week and was super happy with the results! I would have used circles, but ovals were speaking to me this week. (And my scallop oval Nestabilities set just came in the mail and I hadn't used them yet! *lol*)
And I used my BFF's wedding colors too for this card. (Whattup, Corinne! *lol*)
Isn't this Gorjuss Girl so cute? I really love this image. I really need to start using my Sugar Nellie stamps more!
supplies:CS: Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss - SU! (retired), Whisper White (SU!), Pure Luxury White CS (Gina K.)
DP: Chatterbox
stamp: Poppy Fields Gorjuss Girl (Sugar Nellie)
ink: Tuxedo Black: Memento
accessories: brads (American Crafts), large oval and scallop oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders), modern label punch and scallop oval punch (SU!), Copics, dimensionals

In other news... I recently discovered Dustin Pike's digital stamps. The images are SO cute! Well, his stuff is getting turned into rubber so he's having a HUGE blowout sale on his digital stuff! $25 for 130 images! See the details HERE.
Ooh and I got my first Key Ingredients kit from Taylored Expressions yesterday! I'm so bummed I have to work all weekend. :( I really want to play with it!
Anyway, I hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend! Happy Friday!
This is just darling!

Well you know I'm all about my wedding colors!! But I swear you and I think alike (unless you did this way in advance?)... I just made a card using my wedding colors, too, but can't post it yet!!

This is so sweet Jo! I find it hard to sneak crafting time too! Darn kids! ;) Hope your shifts at work go smoothly!

Very cute! It is really hard to fit in crafty time in between all the other gajillion things that need to get done in a day! I can't believe Malia is crawling too!
