I'm behind...

AGAIN!  Real quick post.  I'll link everything up later.  I just wanted to show you this really cute baby shower invite.  My sister, Nicole, asked that I make a western invite for a shower she is throwing.  I'm going to be pretty busy making these for the next month. She need 100 so I wanted to do something simple.  I'm entering this into the challenge over at The Pink Elephant.  They want to see Party Invites and what is kind of party is more fun than a baby shower?  Have a wonderful night everyone!!

I'm runnin' behind!

I'm so late posting today.  I had it all ready to post and then my computer started to do funny things.  Apparently I was being attacked by mutant monsters or somthing they way it was dinging (<---that sure looks funny) at me.  It took me all afternoon to run virus scans and get everything fixed.  Apparently after 10 years living with my Hubby the computer nerd things are starting to rub off.  Usually I just take it to him and ask him to fix it.

So I was late making this birthday card.  Rileigh's birthday snuck up on me and I forgot.  I'm sorry Rileigh you should have it in a couple of days!  The image is from Sassy Studio Designs.  You won't be able to find it in their shop just yet.  I recieved this as my free birthday image and it won't be available until April.  You can go to their PCP page and get signed up for a free image on your birthday!  I printed her onto my trusty PTI cardstock and colored her with myt fab Triart markers.  All the paper is from K&Co Wild Saffrom line.  I just love this paper!!!  I've been holding on to every little scrap so that I can get enjoyment out of every little bit. I added some Stickles to the scallop border which I made with a Fiskers Threading Water border punch.  I also added some tiny rhinestones to the top and bottom.  All and all its pretty simple but like I said I was late making it and had to get it in the mail.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I'm so excited that the sun is shining and the high today is going to be near 60!  I have another Easter card for you today.

I used the My Mind's Eye papers that I wrote about yesterday.  The image and sentiment is another Sweet November by Amy Young.  She is stamped on PTI cardstock and colored with my wonderful Triart markers.  The felt flowers. rhinstone brads and ribbon are from my stash.  I added some little flat backed pearls by Queen & Co that I got yesterday at my local LSS.

Well I"m back!  My back is feeling much better and I'm hopping to be able to get an appointment for some tests soon.  I need to find out what's trigering the spasms the only downside is that they will be trying to make my muscles spasm and its not very fun.  Thanks to everyone who sent their well wishes!

 I was able to get into the scraproom last night after the girls went to bed.  It did not go well at first.  I ended up stamping and coloring my image five times before I liked how it turned out.  So I got the February issue of the UK magazine Cardmaking and Papercraft as a gift and it came with this almost 6x6 stack of My Mind's Eye Pretty Please paper.  I love love love this paper!  I'm going to have to find more or it.  I will be making all my Easter cards with it.

Okay so on to my card.  The sentiment And image are from the Spring Elves set from Sweet November by Amy Young. I stamped this cutie on PTI cardstock and then colored him with my Triart markers.  All the paper is from the above My Mind's Eye stack.  The bling is from my stash and I used glossy accents on the egg to make it stand out a bit.

I'm also entering this card in the challenge at the OCC Sketch Blog

Thanks for stopping by everyone!  I hope that you Monday is sunny and fabulous!
