Cheers!

Hi Friends!  It's been a while since I have posted.  Busy with kids, housework, and life.  Just when I do find some free time during naps to sit down and create, Abigail wakes up and wants to make a card for her daddy or one of her many imaginary friends.  So the card that I had all cut out and ready to assemble gets put on hold and we cut out more stuff for her.  Oh well, I like that she already has a love for being crafty.

I created the card below for a workshop (inspired by a card by fellow demonstrator Mindy Backes).  Yes, there is glitter on the lemons.  Of course, there is.

I needed to come up with an idea for a card for a swap at a downline meeting.  I spent all day trying to come up with something that I could be proud of.  I was almost in tears and ready to quit when Cody called me downstairs for dinner.  I ate and went back up stairs and this is what came together (suppose I just needed some food in my belly).  You could say it was inspired by the card above.

 Clean and Simple!
