So I've been MIA for a while, but had a "few" little things on my platter, and still do! I wanted to get back into the swing of things so I got the JUGS sketch sometime yesterday and literally got 10 minutes to sit down with the sketch, cut, stamp, and make my card, not bad for only 10 minutes work! See you can make a card quickly if you need to!
The sketch is drawn up in blues and that got me my color scheme. I've really been into sparkles and silver lately so you might be seeing a lot more "bling" from me! I used one of PTI's sets, Star Prings. The swirls around the edges are from an SU set called Season of Joy. I can honestly say that I have used that set over and over again. I just love the swirl in it.
I was going to add brads at the top and bottom corners and then spotted there was a tiny star in the set so I thought that would be perfect. The blue is called Enchanted Evening from PTI. I love this blue. Then I used silver paper from PTI as well. The sparkle on my star is from Martha Stewart. Last year Wal-Mart had all of their Christmas stuff at half off after the holidays so I stocked up and am so glad I did. Her glitter is top notch!
I actually got this posted pretty early this morning. Weekends are my days off as my husband gets up with our new baby to feed him. As long as I can get a day off to catch up on sleep I do pretty good. Kale sleeps pretty good and gets up every 3 hours to eat. Ava doesn't even wake up in the middle of the night when he cries....thankfully!
I have a ton of stuff that I'm trying to get finished up before Christmas. The main stuff is finished, decorations, shopping, wrapping, now I just need to wrap up some loose ends. I'll be sharing with you soon a new website that we are creating. You'll get all of the details soon.....hopefully!
Thought I would share a picture of my little guy too. Kale turned 3 weeks old yesterday and I thought I would get a cute little picture. He wanted nothing to do with getting his picture taken. I took this one in Daddy's arms, but when I went to move him onto a blanket all he did was cry. He's so cute though even when he is sleeping!
Hope all of you have a great weekend. Our little guy gets baptized Sunday so we are very excited and blessed.
Be sure to stop by and see all of the girls creations:
