Sorry I've been MIA but back with new cards

So I recently got a new Ipad 3 and I had created this huge post and all I needed to do was upload the photos and it died on me :(  So I'm finally rewriting the post.

My New Year's resolution kinda went the way of the usual dieting resolution.  However I'm going to try and do better because while I have been creating I haven't been photographing or blogging about them!  So I'm BACK or at least I am for a bit as I'm about to head off on vacation in 7 days!  I get a wonderful 11 days in Disney World.

So a few months ago I went to the Nutcracker Market here in Houston.  It benefits the Houston Ballet and they sell all kinds of awesome and amazing things.  One of the booths we saw had some really cute knitted hats and one of the ones I really wanted to buy was this cute hate that looked like a football!  However for that price I figured I could either figure out how to make it but in the end I bartered with my friend Danie and she is creating the hat for me and I am trading her some handmade Thank You cards.  So without further ado here are a few I have created for her in the last few weeks.








So I hope you have enjoyed some of these cards.  :)  Some were super easy to come up with like the little flowers one.  It was just a sticker set I had gotten a while ago and thought hmm let's go with a simple easy cute card.  Most of the stamps are either from Hero Arts or Lawn Fawn.  I finally got my new stamps and paper which is the super cute purple shirt above and the orange flowery paper on the HI card with the Gnome.  I have to say when I first started stamping my favorite stamp company was Hero Arts but since Lawn Fawn has appeared on the scene I am in LOVE with that company.  

So another reason I have been MIA is also because lately I've been focusing on knitting a new project.  My boyfriend is a huge Doctor Who fan so I came across a pattern for a huge almost life-sized Tardis blanket going through space.  So I have been working on it since the beginning of February.  My goal by the time I head off on vacation to be 25% done.  Since it is 600 lines total that is 150 done!  I'm pretty impressed with that.  I will hopefully be back very soon with some photos of my progress so far. Hope you have enjoyed my update finally! :D  See you soon.
