moxie fab world has a beautiful tuesday trigger on right now, and i ♥♥♥
anything hearts. 
here's my take on it:
i used different shades of pink paper, scallops, hearts and patterned paper to try to match the pic. i also added a clear heart, which i punched from some plastic packaging. the sentiment is a srm sticker.
we had a 4.8 earthquake here yesterday. i felt it, the boy didn't, although we were both sitting at the kitchen table.
i had to make a sympathy card. seemed quite fitting to use one of the final (and as usual, beautiful) sketches from 2sketches4you. 
it's really too bad they are calling it quits. i haven't made too many cards lately, but definitely, for sure, 2s4u was the very first place i looked for ideas and inspiration. the sketches and beautiful creations there always got me going on a card or project. anybody have any ideas for other challenge sites you like?
i flipped the sketch. the flower i made from some floral wrap. i cut a strip and twisted it while making a circle and used lots of hot glue. the leaves are flower petals i cut up.
the little muffin is now 6 months old, how time flies as they say. we regularly go to a baby group and she has become very interested in the other babies there. it's so cute to see her watching them, and wanting to touch them. we also started solid foods, just rice cereal so far and she seems to like it.
i wrote a final last week, and now have a month off before school starts again, though i plan to start working on my thesis. but i have to decide on a topic first, haha.
we got a bit of snow here again yesterday, after about a week of temps up to 16c. sure felt like spring for a while there! thanks for stopping by!
i was surprised to find a couple of card challenge sites shutting down, most notably caardvarks. sorry to see it go, i always looked forward to seeing all the lovely creativeness on that site. i won a couple of challenges and had the honour of being a guest designer a while back. i really wanted to participate in the last challenge, so made this quick card. 
however, i did find this new challenge site. i got away with doing 2 christmas cards this year. i realized the other day that we have 5 celebrations this month, including birthdays. and i had 3 final exams. and a lovely little girl who keeps me very busy! hope you had a wonderful holiday and a great new year!
all the paper used on this card is stampin up, which my mom sent me. really beautiful stuff. the flowers came in a kit.
i don't think i'll be making anymore christmas cards this year, but i do plan on making a few small gifts.
the little muffin got to try out her jolly jumper (also sent by grandma) today and she absolutely loved it. she hasn't shown much interest in turning over, but she sure loves to sit and stand.
we've had a bit of snow in the last week, but none of it has really stayed. the snowfall definitely got me into the christmas spirit, and it's so nice with a little one around. we've put out a few decorations and hopefully will finish putting them up this weekend.
i had a bit of time during the little muffin's nap to make a quick card:
i got the idea from the lovely card on the cover of the nov/dec 2010 edition of papercrafts mag. i used kraft paper, the wording is cosmo cricket and my handwriting.
we are getting into a routine around here somewhat these days, and i seem to have a bit more time, though it tends to go to preparing for school, laundry, cleaning, etc. :) time sure flies though, the little muffin is growing so fast and doing new things every day. school is almost done for the semester, the city is getting all prettied up for the holidays, and it remains fairly warm although they are calling for snow in the next few days.
i have to make some thank you cards for the baby gifts i received. i based this one on Laura's sketch this week at 2 sketches 4 you.
it's a lovely, simple sketch that i think could be used again and again.
i got the idea for the tassel from moxie fab world. i wrapped some floss around a piece of card stock, slid the thread off then wrapped some around horizontally. i cut the loops and trimmed the ends to straighten the bottom edge. i attached a loop to the button. the handwriting is my own.
