Great Day!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Today was great! We slept in, then had a yummy lunch at Jacquie's! We were supposed to drive to go get Kirsten, but my sister in law said she'd bring her to us tomorrow! Yay!

So, I managed to take time for myself today and go up to the office and make two cards. It was very nice to just sit there watching old tv episodes (thank you, hulu!) and stamp, color, cut, etc. The pictures are below:This one I used paper piecing for. I stamped the little chef twice- once on patterned paper, and once on very vanilla. Then you cut the parts out and put it together. I also used a cuttlebug folder and did some coloring! You can't tell from the pic, but I made his coat buttons 3D by using crystal effects!


This one had some clear embossing of the rose in the backround, then the big flower is dry embossed on water color paper and then painted in the sections. There is also stickle on the big rose. It looks really simple, but it took longer than I expected!

At any rate, I know have 2 lovely cards in my stash, and accomplished my goal yesterday! Tomorrow Kirsten is coming home, so I am picking something simple to do for myself- drink 8-10 glasses of water. Small and simple, but very important! There is a lot of singing I want to do tomorrow, and 4 cups of coffee isn't going to help me!

Have a good night, thanks for reading!
