SUNday

It was another rainy day in Georgia.  Reports are calling for for more rain and cold tomorrow - in the low 50s. I moved out of NJ to get away from the cold.  I can't wait for the warm weather.

Attached is another card I made tonight that will be going out to my brother in Chicago.  I copied it from the latest issue of PaperCraft which is quickly becoming my favorite idea book. See page 84 - designer Crystal Birr.  I'm waiting for the day that all these fabulous designers spark my personal creativity and grant me the gift of design. Until then - imitation will remain the sincerest form of flattery!

This card was made with Cuttlebug's Spots & Dots embossing folder, Stylized Dragonfly stamp from Rubber Stampede, and assorted cardstock.

I'm hoping this week will provide me with more free time to create some new cards.

Enjoy the week... until next time!

Good evening y'all!

The first thing you'll learn about me is I'm a night owl.  Don't get me wrong I wake up early but that's only because I have to get the boys ready for school.  If I had my druthers I would sleep until 10 or 11am and then slowly get the day going.  I usually go to bed rather late which means I average about 4-5 hrs of sleep per night.  But the night time is when I feel the most creative.  The kids, the dog, and my DH (dear husband for those not familiar with the acronyms) are all fast asleep.  The hours after 9pm are all mine and I cherish them.

Today I finished another card and this one is "lifted" off of Dawn Griffith's website. Dawn is a Stampin' Up demonstrator and has some wonderful card making videos on her website.  Check it out!!

I used vellum for the glass and dabbed it with mustard archival ink. The paper is DCWV "Sweets" and I used "Spots & Dots" folder in my Cuttlebug to emboss the green background.
