Do you follow me on Twitter? If you do, then you'll know how my day ended yesterday. After a long, hot, busy (but fun) day, my husband went out to a baseball game, and I was in charge. Things were going well, and then it all just took a turn. Little G pooped in the tub. This was partially my fault because I was busy reorganizing the bathroom closet and missed him saying he had to go potty. So I pulled him out and got to cleaning. This prolonged bathtime by about 30 minutes. I was exhausted by the time I had gotten him dressed, book read, and into bed. I came out to the living room, looking forward to plopping down on the couch and passing out when I discovered that my darling dog Lucy and vomited all over the couch. This was not my fault, since she decided to dig through the trash earlier that day. I'm sure all the old leftovers she consumed contributed to her sick spell. I spend the better part of an hour cleaning up the couch and showering (again, since I had been sweating so much between cleaning up the tub episode and the couch).
This is a quick card I whipped up for the
Playdate Cafe Color Challenge for this week using my new favorite Hero Arts background stamp.
Here are the colors:
Here is my card:
Oh, and check this out....Ikea furniture arrived! My poor husband is going to be very busy. We also picked up the baby crib and dresser today. Lots of assembling on his to-do list.
I also successfully built myself a light box. We shall see if it actually helps to improve my photos. I took pictures of the process and will do a step-by-step for those of you interested in making your own.
Hope you all have a great day!
Very striking card, love the image. Hope your night improves and there is less of the vomit and poop lol. Tracy x

ReplyDeleteYou poor, poor thing, Danielle! I can relate, with my niece & nephew . . . my furbabies . . . but I have not been *pregnant* while dealing with those messes, so I take my hat off to you! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour card is awesome! a) Yes, that is a great background stamp! and b) your shading is superb! I don't think I've ever seen shading done better, and I've seen quite a bit of it! Perfect sentiment too!
