Cards, Cards and more Cards!

It's that time of year again...wedding and graduation party season. I've made a few handmade cards this past year. So, as the graduation invites started pouring in, I got motivated and decided instead of buying cards, I'd make them with all the supplies I already have at home. After I finished, I was rather proud of these cards and thought I'd show them off. I hope you enjoy!

The Graduation Cards were all made from Hot Hues Cards found on clearance at Target and have matching envelopes. I used stickers, the graduation hat rubber stamp from Michael's dollar bin and my own hadn lettering. Inside they read "Congratuations, Graduate! Good luck on all your future endeavors!"

The wedding card is for a wedding we will be attending this weekend. Again I used rubber stamps from Michael's Doallar Bin. Their names and initial on the front is from their invitation and matted on paper that matches. I used a hand held punch to make the heart confetti which I sprinkled inside and used as an accent on the envelope and front of the card. I didn't have a stamp ink that would match, so I only stamped the words Happily Ever After and used a heart punch instead of the heart on the stamp. I printed the inside poem on my computer with matching ink and again matted on matching paper. I also embellished the stamped chapel with glitter for a little sparkle.

Maybe this will provide you with a bit of inspiration.

Try again...

I thought maybe I'd give blogging a try again. I have enjoyed reading some other people's blogs and then remembered, "Hey, I started my own blog once."

So, here I am again...

I have to say this weekend has been interesting so far. Last night I got phone calls from two people whom I've not heard from in quite some time and we had some great conversation. I also recently got a letter from a friend who I'd considered long-lost. It makes me wonder if there isn't something going on cosmically that I am to reconnect with my friends over the past week.

I have to say, all the emails and phone calls have been great! I am quite pleased to be reconnecting!

Jason will be home soon so we can go to dinner, but I thought I'd get that out. And if your reding this and I havne't heard from you in a while, please email or comment!

Oh, and a recent picture of Abbie...She's all grown up!

Ho Hum...

So, I should be giving Abbie a bath, but really, I'm procrastinating. There's no good reason really, other than I'm lazy. Believe it or not, bathing a dog is a big job you know. the bath part isn't really the hard part I guess, but rather the hard part is after she gets out of the bath. Drying her off and keeping her from running her face all around the bathroom floor trying to get her face dry is most annoying. I suppose that's what I'm avoiding.

Well, that and the mountain of laundry I've promised myself I'd get folded for the past three weeks. Why is it that I hate folding laundry so much?! Probably because it gets left lying around after it gets pulled out of the dryer and then it gets all wrinkly and is that much harder to fold. GRRR....

I suppose it's time to face the music. Off to the bath with you, Abbie!

Bummer

I was so disappointed when I came to check out my blog and I didn't have any comments. Oh well...I suppose this confirms my complete boring-ness.

Tonight I did some shopping, it was rather therapeutic. I got some cute valentine's day decorations. And some great picture albums on clearance. Gotta love the clearance items!

Instead of neglecting my pup, I'm going to have some popcorn and play with her while I catch up on my Tivo recordings.

Have a good night.

Now What?!?!?

OK, so I've created a blog and I picked out the prettiest colors for all of my blog elements. Now what do I do...I suppose I just sit back and wait for an interesting thought to pop into my head so I can share it with the world....Yeah, that must be it.

Oh drats...nothing so far. I'm tired of waiting. Maybe I'll email everyone I know and let them know about my brand new blog. :

Here is the latest picture of my most adorable Abbie. You wouldn't believe how big she's gotten!

Lets see how this all works

Well, I've seen blogs and read blogs and never really thought I had anything that interesting to say at all, but I'm curious, so I'll give blogging a shot. Maybe I'll like it and maybe I won't, but at least I can say I tried. And besides, what else do I have to do all night while Jason is at work. Perhaps people will read and leave me comments. I always like to hear from friends and family. :)
