Some Days......

Wow, can you believe we've made it to Thursday already?!  I'm so looking forward to a long weekend.  Truth be told, ALL of our Christmas decorations are still up - tree, lights, village, wreaths, EVERYTHING.  So, this weekend, since we're supposed to see 40* and a little sunshine, we're going to try and get the outside lights taken down during the day and then move inside and 'De-Christmas' the house (that's a word in the K-ski house).  In the meantime, over the last week or so, we've accumulated about 8" of snow, and when I was going through some shared stamped images, I came across this one - way too funny in my mind and thought I'd whip up a little Hang in There card.

I used a Pagemaps sketch that Cheryl posted as part of  January's Sketch-A-Thon at Scrap-Friendzy.

The sentiment inside reads - "Some Days You Just Can't DUCK Quick Enough!  Hang In There"

Image - Not sure where it originated from, but LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Technique - Magic Colored Pencil Technique

Papers:  Coredinations lime green, white & navy cardstock and printed paper from another old Christmas stack

Miscellaneous - Prima BLING snowballs, sheer ribbon, computer generated sentiment (LD Artsy - picked up from Scrapnfonts)

Thanks so much for stopping by and spending a little time here with me today.  This weekend we're switching to Valentines Day projects - I have the honor of helping with a few of Colin's Valentines Days cards this year because he's getting a new baby sister right around Valentines Day.  I'm also working on a 10 Things I Love About You album that I'll be teaching a class for the beginning of Febuary at Live Laugh Love Scrap in Oxford.  I hope to have some photos of that little baby this weekend!

Have a great day - keep warm and Happy Craftin'!

New Year Productivity!

So, I thought I'd share a few cards that I created over the weekend.  These cards were created using Sketch #11 for the Scrap-Friendzy Sketch-A-Thon.  It was a sketch I created to use. 

These two cards are the last of the Christmas themed Thank You Cards.  I LOVE how the Pointsettia card turned out and the Penguin for my nephew turned out pretty cute too if I do say so myself.

Cricut - Joys of the Season - 2 pointsettia layers in red with leaves trimmed off.  One layer in green

Paper - From OLD OLD OLD Christmas stack

Miscellsneous:  Thanks - Studio G Stamp, Button from my stash, Ribbon from my stash, Chestnut Roan Ink

These two below are movin' us into spring - can I tell you just HOW ready for spring I am??

Yesterday my commute was 5 1/2 hours to and from work - took me 3 1/2 hours to GET to work and another 2 to get home.  Yep, ready for the snow to go away and the flowers to start bloomin'!

So, that's the creativity I was able to muster up lately.

Happy Craftin'!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

Not sure about you, but where the heck did January go?!

Happy February and Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

We've been busy this weekend. I've had some Layouts I've been trying to complete. I wanted to share a card I made. The sketch was part of the Scrap-friendzy Tuesday Card Sketch challenge. I LOVE the way it turned out.

The printed paper is Papertrey's Raspberry Fizz, some cardstock from my scrappy stash. The stamps both the flowers and the 'a little note' were some $1 stamps I had in my collection.

Well, thanks for lookin'

Happy Craftin' and game or commercial watching.
