Some HM and friends Cards

Work is definitely getting in the way of crafting. I'm so busy that when I get home all I do is veg out. Haven't practiced my violin either!

So today was a beautiful day - forced myself out of bed, went to lo-impact aerobics at 8am and then had the rest of the day to do some things I enjoy including sitting out in the pool, baking cookies and actually getting a couple of cards done.

The lilacs with the bear are enhanced with flowersoft. It looks great in real life - gives some good dimension.

House Mouse & Friends Challenge #35 and Sketch Saturday #49

Being able to do one card for two challenges was great again this week! Although it was quite by accident. The HM&F challenge was a Feel better soon challenge and after I put the card together, I thought this stamp definitely fit the challenge. On the inside it says "A mother is "sew" wonderful".

My husband still has pneumonia and I worked a ton of extra hours last week. I'm still exhausted! He had been getting better and then had a relapse that was worse than the first time around. He has to go to Doc tomorrow, so we'll see what he says.

House Mouse & Friends #34 AND Mojo Monday # 83

Two challenges conquered at once! Now that makes my life easier.

The HM&F challenge said to think spring! And the bunny and mouse eating a nice fresh carrot in the lavender (which is flowersoft) just made me thing of spring.

Cuttlebugged the background (don't you just love how cuttlebugged has become a verb?). Nestie for the sentiment, which is computer generated and the Fiskars treading water punch for the edging border. The lady bug is from a set of foam stickers in one of the Michael's dollar bins.

Sketch Saturday #47

Happy Sunday everyone. This was a perfect challenge to go along with April's MCPT challenge on the Cricut Cards messageboard. Changito stamp, MCPT, nestie for circle, rain dots for bubbles and some flowersoft.

Thanks a bunch - Flowersoft!

I got a present in the mail today (to me, from me)...I got the last box of Floral Bouquet flower selection from Cutter Creek. 7 colors of Flowersoft - all mixed...absolutely beautiful. What cool stuff. So of course had to give it a try tonight. I have no idea which two colors I used...I'll have to figure it out! My husband (who also scrapbooks) was very impressed with how it looks and wanted to know how I did those little flowers. Looks better in real life, but hopefully you get the gist.

Used the cuttlebug on the watering can, all cuts done using my cricut and Walk in my garden. The can was done with silver and gold metalic papers.
