Celebrate!!!

I hope you have all had a nice day. It seemed to be warmer here today, maybe? Hope that trend stays a while!!! I was able to make this card tonight using my Country Girl Birthday image from Fresh Brewed Designs.


I colored her with prismacolor markers and skin copics. The cake is coated with tulip slick paint to make it look more 'real'. I have to admit, I have very little ... next to none .. experience with a sewing machine. This is the first time I have used the one my hubby got me for Christmas. I have a feeling my Hannah will use it more for making doll clothes than I will :). I did enjoy flinging my paper around and making a mess thought :D. I could not for the life of me keep it straight ... but really like the way it looks. Sortof has a lasso feel to it ... so it goes with the country girl feel, right?

OK, I am babbling!!! I really need my coffee :)
The kids are still a bit under the weather so to speak. They have terrible coughs. This is how they spent their afternoon ... until the fighting and screaming started.. UGH! Hope tomorrow will be much better. Poor babies :(

Have a great night!
Heather

Coffee Break Time!!!

Yes! I actually made my 3 o'clock coffee break time today! WOOOOOOooooOOO! It has been a ritual for me to be done with homeschooling, cleaning and all that wonderfully fun stuff by 3 and I always had my coffee brewed and took a break. This schoolyear .. well... lets just say I think this is the first day this has happened. sigh. I am so happy though because that means I actually DID it and it will be possible to do it again! :o)

Holly Wreath Snowman

I made a card to share with you using another one of my newest Snowman images I released over the weekend. I think he is sweet. I love seeing all of the wreaths adorning everyones entry ways and I thought it would be just as cute with a snowman :o). I used the sketch provided at The Pink Elephant for this card. I am also submitting it to the Cupcake Craft Challenge: digital images as well as the Little Paper Shop challenge: die cuts. I used my cricut for every cut of this card (minus cutting out the image itself).



I hope you are all having a wonderful week. I am off to enjoy my freshly brewed coffee, listen to my kids hum while they draw, get dinner ready, and go to ballet. I am very blessed. :o).
