Aftermath

I've had fun this past month, working on acrylic albums with my daughter in law.
We combined two albums to make them bigger, and in a couple week's time, she's been able to finish hers - but I still lack a few more pages.

I'll share once it's finished, but here's a shot of the carnage following this week's session...


I would probably have finished too, if I had spent more time working, and less time running up and down the stairs for supplies...

September Sketch

Ooops! I let this one slip past me a bit...

It's time for September's sketch from My Sketch World!
I ran across these papers from K&Co. while I was out one day, and it was instant inspiration. I'm always so ready for Summer to be over by this time of year - and Fall is my favorite!

The dimensional sticker is also K&Co., ribbon is Stampinup, bling by Heidi Swapp.

Wedding Bell Blues

I've been commissioned (by hubby) to create a bunch of wedding cards to have on hand. I just got this new die from Quickutz, so I was pleased to oblige.
The concept for this was much cuter in my head, however.
This turned out a little too cheesy for words, but oh well, I'll keep trying...
Inside, I'll write something appropriately silly like; "Congrats to a lovely pear"... You get the idea.

Yes, well. We can't all be brilliant all the time, now can we?


Basic Grey paper, all else is from my scrap pile.

Honey, I'm Home!

Oh my goodness, how long has it been?
I should be arrested for (blog) abandonment!

To be truthful, I've been having a creative drought as well. I haven't been up to much good at all, and that's the sad truth.

I had the bright idea a while back, to make some ATC cards, since I'm often doing challenges at My Sketch World, and sending out RAKs.
I thought it would be fun to throw in an ATC with each gift that I send out. They are tiny, (2"x3") ...and shouldn't take too much time to put together - fun, right?

Well, not so much. It took me at least as long to put this little card together as it would a full size card or scrapbook page! (Including coming up with the idea, and searching the house for lost supplies...)
I was so frustrated by the time I finished, that now I'm not so sure it's a great idea at all. LOL

Anyway, here's my first ATC ever...

I used Basic Grey paper, Stampinup stamp, and American Crafts ribbon.

I'm getting over that flu that just makes me want to sleep all day, so I'm hoping to get busy again soon.

Thanks for not forgetting me!
