Pink Pink Pink

Pink is not my favorite color. In fact it's one I rarely use unless I can pair it with black. So when I read this challenge, Pretty in Pink, I really had to think. It was to use three shades of pink!

I ended up making this for my Mother in Law for Mother's Day.

I really loved how it turned out, and I got FOUR shades of pink in. So pumped!

Have a great day and keep crafting!

Happy Easter!

Wedding Shower

Today I am heading to a wedding shower for a family friend. I'm definitely looking forward to shower games and food (though at the moment I am thoroughly enjoying my coffee.)  I went to check out my favorite idea blog while making this card, and low and behold, the very first post for a new year of 365 Card Challenges is themed New Beginnings. So my new beginning is for a wedding shower. :)

The brides theme is very vintage, so I enjoyed this combo of old, new and aged styles. The "Love" font in the middle is from my new cricut cartridge. I'm super excited to be using that as well.

Just so you all know, Stilts has been here with his paws on my hands, helping me type this. I love my Techno-Kitty!!!

Have a great day, and keep crafting!

I'm Baaaaaaaaaack!!

A new house, an entire craft room, and a ton of projects to share with you. I'm so glad to be blogging again. The garage is almost unpacked, and the house is not only functional, but for the most part it's presentable when people come over. Small miracle there. :) Starting today, I'm finally getting back to making cards, which I haven't for a while now. There have been so many projects around the house that they took over. I'm starting off with a wedding shower card that I will probably be posting tomorrow. Til then!!!!
Have a great day, and keep crafting!

We're Moving!!

So Cathy and her cats are finally moving into a new home! Oh, and the rest of the family as well. It has been quite the adventure getting in, but we are so happy. The last few days were nuts with birthday parties, October gatherings, and now all the moving stuff. Tonight we took the kitties over for a trial run. We thought it would be good for the boys to have a chance to check out the place before we actually moved in. So we trecked over with some dinner for the people and the kitties, their litter box, and a couple boxes and speant the evening hanging at the new house. Stilts speant a few minutes wandering the first room we got to, then parked in a corner of the kitchen and refused to move. Felix got a far as the litter box, and that was it.

Eventually we pulled him out of litter box, because Stilts had to, well, use it. Felix curled up in the corner of the living room, at first against me. when I left the room he meowed sounding totally panicked, but refusing to move. It was really sad. Virginia curled up with him and he calmed down, but he wasn't himself until we got back to our apartment. Crazy kitty.

Have a great day, and keep crafting!
