Okay I have kinda of been MIA the last few weeks. In my defense it was a little busy on weekends as we had a birthday party a couple weeks ago and then last weekend I brought two of my friends to the dark side. :) Actually I hopefully just gave them an idea of what scrapbooking is about and what are some of the possiblities that are available to them. We went over everything from different paper to sizes to adhesives and how to stamp! My hope is that soon I'll have some people to actually go to crops with versus my usual MO which is to stay home and flip on a movie and chill out with my stuff. Anyway it was a lot of fun and I think they both loved it as they have since bought stuff and told me how excited they are now to get started with their scrapbooks. I think it's funny since I make less scrapbooks and WAY more cards.
On to the one card I have actually made in the last couple weeks. This one was for my boyfriend's parents. He and I are heading to Disney World in April and his parents were generous enough to give us two nights free at the Hilton in Downtown Disney using their points! That means we get Extra Magic Hours and get into the park before others and also can stay later! The rest of the time we will be accross the street at the Holiday Inn as we have enough points there plus we had points to use for our flights so it's turning into a pretty reasonable vacation to Disney!
So all I did was punch out Mickey ears from a punch I had gotten a few months ago and then put Glossy Accents over them and let them dry. I then used my Martha Stewart scissors and cut some grass and stamped some balloon strings from my Lawn Fawn set and stamped Bunches of Thanks at the bottom in the grass. I think it's really cute and didn't take a ton of time. Longest thing is waiting for the Glossy Accents to dry but I love the effect of it.
My goal this weekend is to make a BUNCH of cards as I kinda feel like I'm going through withdrawl. I have like 5 birthdays in February and then Valentine's day and I also need to make some Thank You cards for my friend. We are doing a swap as she plans on making me a Football stocking cap and I said I'd give her some cards. I will try and be back later this week as I have also recently finished knitting a blanket for a friend's little boy. Until next time... Thanks for looking! :D
