Time for another fun sketch from Freshly Made Sketches! This week's sketch was designed by one of my favorite people to stalk, Jen Mitchell. She never fails to amaze me with her gorgeous work, so be sure to stop by and visit her blog!
I'm still struggling with my stamping, but seeing how my anniversary was yesterday, I wanted to make a masculine card for my Jason. Nobody deserves appreciation more than that man. How he could put up with me for eight years and counting I'll never understand! Our years together haven't been easy, losing both his parents and our son, but I have hopes that this year will bring a lot of joy to our lives when little Laila arrives.
Here's my no frills card that I made for him. I wanted to keep it simple as he's not into anything that's remotely vintage or distressed; that worked perfectly for the Freshly Made idea of clean cards! I pulled out a new-to-me set, Always for this one. I knew I had to put a bird on my card since the skit from Portlandia is one of our little inside jokes that we laugh about often. Nothing says I love you like putting a bird on it! :) I think those things we like to laugh about keep us sane sometimes.
I'll share one more funny story before I sign off this post. I don't know how many of you watch The Big Bang Theory, but last week's episode was hilarious! The guys had a whip app on their phones that they used when the others gave in to their girlfriends. It was awesome! On Friday while Jason was at work, I found that app and had it ready to go when he came home that night. Well, guess who else had the same idea?! I was happy to win though; I got the first crack of the whip! :) It was funny to see how alike we are and how we just know the other person so well. I truly love that man with all my heart! (and yes, we are both nerds!)
