I made some cards yesterday. So fun! When I cut back my crafting it was painful to my heart, but it was, as I had suspected, for the best. I have had so much more ability to focus on my family and the home and its been wonderful. I do wish sometimes that would make the time, but as much as I love it and miss it, it truly has been worth the time off. I am in no way "back" in full force, but you will see me around every now and then. I could never completely give up paper. No way, no how!
So yesterday I cranked out 2 cards for challenges. This first card was for Card Makin Mamas. This time around they have a recipe challenge. 3 different kinds of embellishments (brads, stickers, ribbon), 2 patterned papers (for me, plaid and polka dots) and 1 image (Some Odd Girl, Dancin Mae). I have a great love for Some Odd girl AND Card Makin Mamas, so this card worked out awesomely!
The next card that I made was for Cupcake Craft Challenges. Love their challenges. Never a dull one to be sure! Their theme is "In the garden" and I thought Hello Ian, and these garden papers from The Paper Studio. LOVE! Throw on a couple of prima flowers and some trim, and this card was garden-y sweet! I added the cardboard because it reminded me of a little garden fence.

Love them both. I totally feel ya on the paper crafting, I have made more time to spend working out and hanging out with Jack. So, that doesn't leave a lot of time for crafting. I wanna get together sometime, just don't know when.
