Sorry for the delay on this post. I have been making cards, working my day job, visiting with friends and family and just buzzing around like a bumble bee.
I had a fantastic weekend filled with outings and friends. Saturday we toured the Widmer brewery, sampled beer, ate chocolate then ate dinner at the Gasthaus Pub. I had the usual: Pulled Pork Sandwich, German potato salad. Sunday was early morning breakfast at McRae's with Theresa. Mmmm... pancakes. Monday was another breakfast outing with my old roommate, Jenni. Mmm.... more pancakes. Have I mentioned I love pancakes. :) I do and I can never make them like they do at a restaurant, so that is what I get when I go to out to breakfast. We were belated celebrating my birthday for both of the breakfast outings.
Over the weekend, I finished the first season of The Big "C". I love Laura Linney. The series is good. Some of the stuff bugged me... especially this 80 year old lady committing suicide (spoiler alert!!). :( I also watched "Paranorman" It was a cute animated film. I love figuring out whose voice is whose on the animated movies. I am catching up on new and old movies and shows. I finished Woody Allen's "Love & Death" and I loved it. While I am not a huge Woody Allen fan, I do like his movies. They are sarcastic and funny, so it is pretty much a match made in heaven for me. :) I finally watched "Glengarry Glen Ross" and I liked it. It is cool to see the older actors in their younger years. Great star performances by the entire cast! I watched "Pitch Perfect". I'm not the target demographic for the film, but I was curious after seeing a preview. It was cute and even funny in some parts of it. I started "I love you, Phillip Morris", but haven't finished it yet. It was shocking in some places. I didn't read anything about it, but knew EM was in it, so I knew I would watch it!
Card fun:
I added a chopsticks to the sushi card (after looking at it with the chopsticks, can't imagine it without):
This one is super simple, but I am in love with it. I also can't stop using this stamp set I got (I used it on the name on this card.) It is like an old typewriter font. I am obsessed with it! I stamped the sentiment right on the picture paper. I love it... subtle, yet effective!
LOVE the colors on this one. I was so stoked to use the sparkly coral(ish) paper for the "M"! Again, simple, but I love the way this one came out!
I had fun with this one and dug out some really OLD monogram chipboard! I added a bunch of flowers to the flower pattern paper and slapped a 7 and a sparkly butterfly on there and voila! A super cute custom card for a 7-year-old.
One more before I hit the hay....
This was beach-inspired and I got to use some new washi tape that Theresa's son gave me for Christmas! I love the star paper and the green funky circle design is the opposite side. Of course topped it off with some sand print paper & flip flops and there you have it. This was fun to mix all the patterns. It really is a challenge to use multiple pattern papers and get it to work and NOT be overwhelming! Sometimes I can swing it, other times I opt for solid paper to go with my pattern paper.
I have more to post, but am tired. Will post more soon....
