She is Here!

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

So here is my number one reason for not posting in awhile. Isn’t she beautiful? Another great reason to scrapbook. She arrived last Friday. What a good baby she is. Although she was due on Thursday she let her mommy get through finals first. Little did I know on Friday morning when I was beyond sick that I was in labor. The nurse on call told me there was a virus going around and that I would only feel worst. Luckily, there were plenty of wonderful moms at my daughter’s school that realized it was more then a virus. I have already thought of dozen of things I want to make and post. Needless to say I have some great inspiration. Oh and by the way if you are wondering I passed all my exams and all my classes with A’s and B’s not bad for someone who hasn’t gone to college in over 15 years.

Are You Still There?

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Wow! Here it is December 6th and I have not made a post in awhile. Sorry, friends I have not forgotten you. However, I have forgotten my manners and my brains. I have had so many things I have wanted to do. So many projects I have wanted to show. So may ideas I wanted to share. Fear not I plan on getting my stuff together again. So no baby yet. Let’s hope she keeps holding out. If you remember my due date is the same day as my last final exam, December 13th. We all think I am going to make it (crossing my fingers). Then after that I will be ready, well as ready as I can be. Until I can get to some serious blogging done I am going to post some handmade holiday cards.

Here is the first. I made this Victorian inspired card for a Christmas Card Swap Party last month. I made several of this style but with different background papers. This one was not my favorite I think it is too plain. This is probably why I ended up making about 5 other versions that I will be posting the next few days. The Santa is actually embossed. I used a white pigment ink pad and then used a cranberry embossing powder. Also the green paper was a plain hunter green but I used a green glitter spray to make it sparkle.
