I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We had a busy weekend even though we didn't really do anything. I took advantage of the fact that Tom was home and got a lot of cleaning done on Saturday and then Saturday night my good friend Jen (glitterinmyhair.blogspot.com) and I got some quality stamping time in at the Archiver's scrap mania. It was nice to have 6 uninterrupted hours of stamping time. Hopefully I didn't annoy Jen too much with my non-stop chatter. It was nice to talk with her without having to yell over the kids screaming. Tom managed to handle the kids just fine except, when the kids went to bed, Beckett told him he could lay down next to them but only until mommy gets home and then you have to get out of her spot. I'm so glad to know someone here loves me.
I can't show you the project that I worked on at scrap mania because I didn't get it finished yet, but I do have a card that I made yesterday afternoon to share. This is just a simple wedding card. The couple image is Stampendous and the sentiment is from one of the clear Studio G $1 stamp sets. I colored the grooms tux with prismacolor pencils and gamsol. The rest is pretty simple...glitter, cuttlebug, ribbon, etc.
Thanks for stopping by!
