Quick Birthday Post

Hello Crafting Family and Friends,

I have been away for a while due to ... well, life!  LOL!  As a result, I have not been able to partake in this hobby that we all love sooo... much.  I was able to steal away for about an hour - and here's what I came up with.  This is for a good friend, that I haven't seen in a while; so I wanted to let her know that I was thinking of her on her special day.  The digi used for this card is, of course, a Robert Jackson image.  Please be sure to visit his digital gallery - I'm sure you'll find something you just "gotta" have!  TFL.

Hello Crafting Family,

I hope all is well; and that you had an enjoyable 4th of July - full of fun, friends, and great food!  In celebration of the 4th, I decided to participate in a challenge over at Scraps of Color with the Robert Jackson Digi Group.  The challenge was to make anything - LO, ATC, card, etc - with a red, white, and blue theme, using a Robert Jackson digital image.  Here's my challenge entry...

First Baby Shower Decorations

Greetings Family and Fellow Crafters,

It's been a while since I've posted anything here; and that's because life has been happening!  Last week, I was asked to put together some items for a baby shower, by the hostess.  She originally only asked for some labels for the diaper cake; but that quickly turned into labels and a banner!  LOL.  That was cool; but on Friday, I received word that the color (shade of blue) had changed - now we're talking PANIC mode!   Nonetheless, I was able to use the same paper stack that I used for the labels, to make the banner, while sticking with the new color scheme.  When I get the pictures from the shower, I will be sure to post how everything turned out. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Better Late...

Happy Friday-Eve friend, family, and fellow crafters!!

As the weekend approaches, and I begin to plan how I'm going to squeeze in some crafting in the midst of a major house-cleaning weekend, I realize that I still have Mother's Day cards to make.  So, at DH's urging, I made yet another Mother's Day card.  This card is heading either to NC or VA. 

I think I have finally become comfortable with using sketches, too.  The inspiration for the layout of this card is from Mojo Monday 241; and the image is a Robert Jackson digi.  TFL.
