Enabling Alert!

Hi Friends!

No card for today, but as a fellow crafter I felt it my duty to inform you of some new gorgeous products in over at Simon Says Stamp. (On main page just click on "All New Just In" on the left hand side).  They have some of the new Hero Arts and Basic Grey Spring items and boy oh boy are they amazing.  Here are a few of my favorites...some of which I couldn't resist and already purchased. So much for saving! Sigh. (Click on any of the pictures or captions for a better look).

Pattern Hearts and Flowers

Newsprint Butterfly

Washi Lantern Background

Tartan Background

Floral Blossoms

Basic Grey Plumeria

Hope you have a great Wednesday!

Online Card Class

Soooo, how many of you are taking the Clean and Simple Online Card Class? I am enjoying every minute so far! As you can probably tell, CAS is my style of choice and so I knew I'd love this class. 

This is my card from Day 1 of class (I know, it's already day 3 so I'm a little late posting!). I'm not really good at sketches for whatever reason, but I'm happy with this card. I also never use brads, so this was stepping out of my comfort zone for sure! I didn't want to use the little tab thingys, so I cut them off to make the brads flat and then glued them on.

Hope you enjoy, and there is still time to sign up for the class if you're interested!

Young Crafters Unite Challenge #1

I am exhausted.  Physically, emotionally. Ugh. I'd love to say it's totally the pregnancy hormones, but they are not to blame.  Does anyone else have a crazy family? Sometimes I need a vacation from mine.  Like now.

Sleeping has become quite the chore what with my enormous baby belly.  Only 6 weeks to go! I'm ready to meet this little guy.

In an attempt to brighten my spirits I made this really bright and happy card.  I love this butterfly stamp (sorry if you're sick of seeing it!), and the new Indie Bloom paper is just gorgeous. Also fell back on my favorite die set.  Can you see I've been practicing with my Copics?  I watched a few YouTube videos and actually bought a book about the basics of using Copics and I think it really helped.  I have a long way to go before I'm as good as half the crafters out there.

I was also happy to be able to play along with the Young Crafters Unite blog for their first challenge.  A really fun and talented group of girls on the DT.

So here it is!

Usually we run around like crazy all day, but I think I'm going to use this rainy day as a good excuse to stay home, build a fort, snuggle with G and watch Disney movies all day. Tomorrow is Friday!
