Goodbye 2013

The year started off with a bang and then there was a big giant hiccup in early  March that rocked my world for several months.  Needless to say I am glad this year is over and pray the drama of early 2013 does not repeat itself anytime soon.   

We had a wonderful Christmas and just returned from a 4-day journey to San Antonio, TX.  It was good to get away for a few days.  I imagine in our usual fashion we will be in bed well before the year turns in Texas, we are way past the party years in our household. 

Wishing all of you a safe New Years Eve and a wonderful 2014.

Happy New Year!!!

Card #124 - Thanksgiving #1

Wow, it has been weeks since I made a card or posted.  School has kept me very busy since it started, I took on the position of Box Tops coordinator and that can be a big job.  Just wrapped up the book fair and prior to that I was working on a Box Tops, Labels for Education and Coke Rewards project for the school.  Yesterday, I put up the new Box Tops contest at school called Everybody Counts.  This contest will require less of my time so I can get back to the important stuff like laundry, house cleaning, bible study, card making and figuring out how to use all the gadgets on our new car. 

I took a few moments yesterday (actually 90 minutes) to make a few cards. Here is the first card.  I cased the design from Stamp with Brian, which happened to be a sketch from Mojo Monday #310.  I loved his cards and I knew I had to recreate them.

Card #123, Duets Card

This card was made for a Duets Card Swap on Swap-Bot.  The card had to  have two elements that went together, like butterfly and flowers, dress and shoes, tea and cup.  You may remember the original card as card #117.  This is the completed version that went to a new home a few weeks ago.  The picture is not that great but it really turned out nice.
