I'm Sorry!
Just wanted to post a little apology to all of my blogging friends and my dedicated blog readers. I have been so incredibly busy with my new job that I just haven't had time in the past couple weeks to post much on my blog or to leave comments on your blogs. I am hoping to catch up this weekend! My Google reader is crazy full right now. Please know that I have not been ignoring your blogs on purpose. We (meaning mainly ME) are having a very stressful time adjusting to my new working schedule. I have had some crazy days (I got on the city bus to go to campus at 5:54 am this morning) but hopefully within the next week or two I will settle into more of a routine schedule. Until then, please bare with me! I am hoping to get A LOT of relaxing stamping time this weekend so hopefully I will get my blog posts for next week all worked out ahead of time! Crossing my fingers at least!
In the meantime I thought I would share another card made with a couple of the newest designs released at DRS Designs. I know I 've mentioned this before but I really loved all of the new designs released at DRS in January. If you haven't checked them out yet, click HERE!Supplies used: Stamps from DRS Designs, SU CS, BG DP, Glitter paper from Marcella K, Hero Arts self adhesive rhinestones.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Monday already?
Where did the weekend go? I didn't even get a chance to stamp all weekend. We spent most of the weekend cleaning the house since we sorta just let it go since Christmas. Thankfully I still have today free. Since my new job is at the university, they are closed today due to the holiday. The kids are off of school too so we have a day free of all outside obligations! I'm planning on getting the kids breakfast and then heading to the basement to stamp (although I have to clean my stamp room first so that I can maybe find my stamp table.). I'm hoping to get lots of stuff stamped today!
Today I have another card to show you that I made with some of the newly released DRS Designs stamps. This latest release had a lot of really cute stuff in it. Actually it is my favorite release so far! If you haven't checked them out yet, you can click HERE to see all the wonderful new designs!
My card today is a really easy 4/1/4 x 4 1/4 square card. I am really loving square cards lately. For this one I used the new brush baby buggy stamp and the new diaper pin stamp. I paper pieced the buggy with the green background dp. I thought the little blue buttons added the perfect finishing touch. Nothing too fancy but I thought it turned out pretty cute!
Supplies used: Stamps from DRS Designs, SU CS, misc DP, misc ribbon, mini buttons, foam dimensionals.
I hope you all have a terrific day! Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for another Jacksonbelle weekly challenge!
