A card full if win!

Hello!  So while working today, I made a new card.  This card was full of win!  Yay!  I was going to take a better picture with my real camera but I forgot and now the card is off in the mail.  So this is the only picture i have from my Iphone.





I went grocery shopping after work so I didn't do any crafts.  Maybe tomorrow.  For now, A glass of wine and maybe some more stalking of my favorite blogs.

I know blog, I forgot about you!

Its been a crazy month.  My boyfriend's family comes into town every year for a whole month.  Basically in that month, I wake up, go to work, get ready, go to dinner at gparent's, come home, go to bed...rinse and repeat. I don't have very time to do things like crafting or doing anything by myself.  It is really to nice see them but I like my free time alone.

So they left this morning and tonight has been my first craft night to work on projects.  Let me tell you, it was full of fail.  I tried to make a Thank you card for like an hour (I'm a bit of a perfectionist) and I ended up scrapping the whole thing and throwing everything away!  I have Stampin Up! stuff but I don't have the paper, coordinating ribbon and ink etc, so I can't make cards that look super professional and matchy matchy like some people can.  So basically, I really REALLY have to plan out my card.  Try to match the ribbon I have to ink that I have to paper I have and then plan out a card. So I had like 4 fail attempts to make card.  I finally had something that I like and of course I end up smudging everything and I ran out of paper I was using so I couldn't redo it.  Ugh, So frustrating!  Needless to say, I still need to make a Thank You card.

I did however finished two more pages of my nephew's scrapbook so that's good! only like a bazillion pages to go. haha.

I'll post some pictures of the stuff I did do during the past month tomorrow.... hopefully!
