What a week! Jason went back to work on Thursday, so I got to experience my first days home alone with the baby. It went great, but those 14-15 hour days are rough. I was glad to have him back home today for sure. I didn't find much time to stamp, but I started working on a card for the color challenge at Create with Connie & Mary last night and just finished it up tonight.
A pretty simple card, but man it took me forever to make it. My poor brain is just tired lately and to top that off, I fell last weekend and either bruised or broke my tailbone! It hurts so bad to sit down so I've managed to get quite a bit of cleaning done around the house since that requires standing. :) First a rough pregnancy and now that...I'm most definitely feeling my age lately. I'm going to need that Life Alert thing before you know it.
Stamps: Happy Hour
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, So Saffron
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party, Whisper White, 2011-2013 In Color DSP stack
Tools/Accessories: Big Shot, Finishing Touches Edgelits, Chevron embossing folder, 1 3/8 square punch
I am just so in love with this little girl. Here she is in her swaddle blanket aka baby straight jacket. :)
Great card! I must get me this stamp set! Thanks for playing along this week at Create with Connie and Mary!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card. I've been admiring your creations for a while. I believe I found your blog from the Freshly Made Sketches site. Just thought I'd finally say hi and tell her how much I admire your work. Oh, and congrats on the new little one. She's beautiful :).
