Tuesday ...

Well, it's Tuesday and only one more day of my work week - I'm so excited to have those extras days off.  I for one plan on sleeping in late every single one of them.

For my card today, I CASed this one from Eli and thought it turned out really well.  It was so simple and fits the personality of the sweet lady I'm giving it to.

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday and will see you soon.

Happy Birthday and more

Hi everyone:

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  It has been a very lazy one here in my neck of the woods.  I have been trying to get back into the swing and as much as I try, I just can't seem to get there.  As mentioned in my last blog post, we have been having a trying time here in my family and ask that you please keep us in your thoughts and prayers over the next few months for healing and strength.

I did get some creating completed a few weeks back to replenish my box for work and will be showing some of what I have done over the next few posts.  Since it is a rainy day and I have a quiet house, I am going to try and do some more cards, blog hopping, emails and maybe even look at ideas for Christmas cards (hopefully I'll be able to get some out this year) done before it is over. 

Have a great day

A teen boy's birthday

Happy Wednesday everyone:

I hope you have all being doing well this week.  We have had a trying week, but am sure we will overcome with the help of prayers, family and friends.

Patrick's school buddy is turning 13 this month and since his birthday falls on Thanksgiving, his parents went ahead and had a birthday party for him.  Patrick asked me to make Andrew a birthday card at the last minute (UGH) and couldn't tell the lad no, so I told him he had to help me.  Well, we had a total of 20 minutes to put a card together - Patrick told me that Andrew's favorite colors are green and blue, so I came up with the paper and Patrick picked the rest (the candle represents the "1" and the brads represent "3" to make the total 13 - get it? - Patrick thought that was a perfect idea on his part - I don't disagree).  I am totally shocked I finished this card in 10 minutes - we were really pleased with how it turned out.  I think I'm going to get Patrick to help me more often :)

I hope you all have a great rest of the week and I'll talk to you soon.

Supplies - basic grey Oliver paper, stampin up twine, Tim Holtz forest moss ink - I'm not sure about the stamp or brads.
