I'm alive! Who knew!

Holy cow, I know some of you probably thought I had dropped off the face of the earth.
Not so. The past 6 months at work have been insane. I've done barely any crafting. :(
This past weekend, I dusted off my adhesive & started playing. It was so theraputic! I want to go out & get some new paper & markers right now, but have vowed to use some of my current stash before adding to it. I'm sure you ladies can understand this. :) And if any of you ladies want to send me some of your images to boost my creativity, I'd be happy to swap some with you.
This first card is for my good friend in MA. Her birthday is in a few days. I love this sentiment (from Stamping Bella). I had actually colored her a month or so ago & created the card & matched the papers around the colors I had already used.

This card I was dying to make. Both of my parents are retiring this week (in fact we're heading to their retirement party in a few) & I was trying to come up with a good idea. I had purchased the 2" x 2" polaroid quickutz die and the camper/trailer die (sorry, the true names escape me, so I've made up my own). I like how it came out. I cut the pictures from magazines. This might be my new favorie die of the moment.

the outside of the card


the inside - I haven't figured out what I'm going to write yet. I better figure it out, huh? :) Something about placing bets on when they'll purchase an RV or something.

Well, off to the party. Hopefully I'll post more soon!!!

I am a full-time wife and mother with a full-time career who attempts (from time to time) to be a Superwoman crafty chick.....often these attempts include wine. There is no rhyme or reason as to what each post may contain, so check back often for Lord knows what insanity. As Prince said "We are gathered here together to get through this thing called Life". Cheers ladies, let's get through this together.
