Long and Lean

I decided to play along again over at CAS-ual Fridays.  This week the task was to create a 4x9 card...how the heck am I going to mail this thing?? lol I had fun with this one, required me to think a little.

This wasn't the original card I made, that one ended up looking awful because I kept stamping and embellishing and totally forgot to keep it clean and simple.  So here is my second attemp.



I hand drew the little squigglies, die cut the hearts, and used Lawn Fawn Jessies ABC's for the words.

In other news, the 3rd trimester has hit with vengeance. Who knew two pregnancies could be so different. It doesn't help that G has endless amounts of energy so I spend most of my days running around.  Aside from a growing belly, with G I didn't have any other symptoms. This time around I've had it all...nausea, fatigue, acne, heartburn, back pain, sleepless nights...blah blah blah the list goes on. Despite all of this, I am savoring every minute of being pregnant, it's not something to take for granted. 

I'm having coffee with one of my best friends this morning, so looking forward to that. Also hoping to catch a movie with another at some point this week.  Trying to get out as much as I can before this baby gets here. Trying to decide between Crazy Stupid Love and Horrible Bosses...any recommendations?

  2. So cute and easy. Love the design!

    Also, good for you enjoying the pregnancy — despite the suckage.

    Horrible Bosses is good — raunchy funny, like The Hangover. Crazy Stupid Love is on my to see list, simply because I saw a shirtless Ryan Gosling in the preview....so that's obviously a good choice as well. :-)

My first one was a breeze! I thought I could this! Then #2 came along? This is why I will not have anymore kids! Not so fun! Hang in there and keep us updated! :)

  6. Beautiful card, Danielle. Love your design and the squiggles are just a fab addition. No movie recommendations, I'm afraid - haven't seen either :)

  8. Such a sweet card! I love those hand drawn squiggles! So sorry for your discomfort.

    I remember that very clearly with my three. I thought I would never sleep again!

    As far as the movies, I haven't seen either personally, but a friend said Crazy Stupid Love was a letdown. So I vote for Horrible Bosses.

    I really want to see The Help!
