Miss Attitude

I made this card last week, but just didn't have the time to post it. This card is for my niece, Charlottee who just turned 2 on January 2nd. Actually, this stamp reminds

me of her older sister, Audrey, who is Miss Attitude last time I saw her, but I thought this stamp is so darn cute. I am also sure the trouble 2 is hitting, so Miss Charlottee is probably Miss Attitude as well. I am giving this card to her next month when I am visiting them. This stamp is from the Gorjuss Girl (illustrator: Suzanne Woolcott) line from Sugar Nellie stamps. The easel card is currently my favorite style of card. I just love how you can display it on your desk. Another thing I like to do alot on cards is distressing the edges of the papers. I also used the Just Magnolia Challenge Blog, sketch challenge 38 for this card. Another one of my resolution for 2010 is to play along with all these fabulous challenge blogs out there.

I am not much of a gardner, wants to learn, but the plants never survive more than a couple of weeks. My front & backyard are very minimal. I was out in my backyard couple of weeks ago to feed the birds and feral cats and notice that we have sunflowers in our backyard. It just started to bloom, I thought those were weeds at first. I know I didn't plant any sunflower seeds so where did the sunflower come from. I realized that it was from the seeds we feed the outside birds with. There were sunflower seeds in them and obviously the birds didn't finish eatting them, thus sunflowers in my backyard. They are so pretty. I took some photos of them, just in case I might want to do something with them later on.
A couple of them a HUGE sunflowers. I was thinking of cutting them to bring them inside, but with all my cats around, I thought otherwise. I will admire the flowers from my window and it is good enough for me for now.

Have a nice work week, I am hoping to find some time tonight to play and do some blog challenges. Crossing my fingers.

Where Did the Time Went???

It's Monday & its back to work after a nice long weekend. I have so much to catch up as I have 5 months of data to enter into Quickbooks. It's all DH's fault for getting me hook on Facebook games such as Farm Ville, Cafe World, Animal Paradise, Pet Ville. I blame DH for making me fall so behind w/the company book. I need to get all the financials done by mid-January, so I can process 1099s for the company and to go through things with the CPA as April is going to be here before you know it.

Anyways, I made this card 2 days ago for my cousin, Julie who turned 14 this past Christmas Day. She is 21 yrs younger than me (yikes!). I just mailed the card out to her today, so she won't be getting it until the end of this week... hopefully. The image is from Sugar Nellie stamps. She is just so darn cute. I am gearing towards cutsy stamps nowadays, so I can practice my coloring w/copic markers. I still have so much to learn on copic markers and thank goodness for U Tube videos.

I may not be blogging until the end of the week as I still have a card to make for my niece, Charlotte who just turned 2 yrs old on January 2nd. I so miss her & her older sister Audrey. She barely knows me as I barely goes back to California to visit my family nowadays.

As you can tell, I am so behind w/my birthday cards. I need to start make a BIG STASH of cards soon, but where will I have the time???

Have a wonderful week.
