I'm back from my Va-ca...or as the brits say.. holidays.

So... I'm back from my girls "Va-ca" in California. Wow! It was a blast....and it felt good to have some "me" time. I must say I'm a little pooped...seems I crammed alot of things to see & do while I was there...but also came down the cold my hubby & little gal had :( Thankfully I had good roomies (M&J) who smartly packed ear-plugs ;).... I swear!!! I normally don't snore... but because of my cold I sounded like a fog-horn!!! Urgh! yucky! my voice is still croaky...but the yuckiness/mess has now gone. Here's a photo of me in my wedding attire...feeling very chilled like a Californian.


Anyway... seems I'm back from the California wedding of my 2 friends Iggy & Roe... I can share with you the card I created for their wedding. It was themed on Roe's beautiful design of chocolate chip brown and crushed curry yellow (now retired). What do you think? The couple were very impressed when I told them I punched every little hole in the cardstock :)


Shiney & fluffy... thanks to Stampin Up's Crystal effects & paper fluff.



Here's a photo I took of the happy couple... I was told I knocked a few people out of the way to get it.... hehehe... Thanks J!


More to come tomorrow... my nieces card I made for her 1st birthday.!!! awww.!!

Cheers

Crazy Weekend!!!

So this weekend was just crazy..!!!! I was triple booked on Saturday, then double booked Sunday. I suppose the saying that there is no rest for the 'wicked' means I must be wicked ;). Anyway... I sadly didn't attend a house-warming party of a friend of mine :{ seems we got in late from an afternoon wedding shower. The wedding shower was fun & I got to mingle with some friends I haven't seen in a long time so the banter was flowing nicely. Anyhow.. I used my card making skills to craft out this little number...it's surprising what I can do when I have a time constraint. I picked flowers/blossoms seems everyone has flowers at a wedding..right? Then I choose brown & pink seems I checked the couples web-site & noticed it was in those colours. I felt pretty proud with myself when we turned up for the BBQ & found brown & pink balloons everywhere ;}

What an Artistic eye eh?

In the midst of all that I have a swap deadline... I mentioned that on a previous post. Well.. I've been 'dilly-dallying' for the past week on the final design for my Bermuda Bay swap card. Last night I realised I was over-thinking things and decided to give up trying to make the card/design vertical. I think that was making me re-do the card 3 times. Anyway... here's a little tease.... I'll post more once I've popped them in the post to Alberta. 2 more days to get them in the mail.
