Day 122: Its a wrap!

So, the challenge today was plain and simple: Use wrapping paper. So, I went out into the garage to see what I had, which was not very much (I use a lot of gift bags). I found three rolls of wrapping paper. One was just a magenta color and I decided that was not very exciting. The second one is a Christmas wrapping paper, but just had Christmas colors on it and no cute decorations. The third was this Hallmark, wedding wrapping paper. I decided that it would look really cute with some pink champagne glasses and a velvet pink ribbon. I cut out the glasses using my Cricut. Once again I used "Stretch Your Imagination."



This is one of my favorite Cricut cartridges. If you own a Cricut, or are thinking about getting one, I highly suggest you purchase this item.

365 Cards

My friend Megan joined the journey to making 365 cards a few months ago. I was really enjoying looking at all the different creations and decided that I should try to this challenge as well. Of course, this is easier said than done. It is the summer time, which means no teaching. So, it might seem easy now when I don't have to work, so we'll see how it goes. Today is Day 120 "Super Sketchy Sunday". Our Challenge is to try to follow this sketch and be as creative as possible.

Here's my card..... (It is supposed to be horizontal, but for some reason my computer didn't like that idea)

So what do you think?
Now I just need to see if I can try to post it onto the 365 cards website :)

Card Crazy

Alison and I have been very productive as far as card making goes this summer. The other day we got together and between the two of us we just went crazy.

Visitors

My mom, dad, and sister (Ashli) came to visit the kittens. They absolutely loved them. We watched them play forever until they finally tired themselves out and had to take a cat nap. While my parents were here, my dad helped me put handles on my kitchen cabinets. They look so much better now. My aunt and uncle also came down from Redding. We went to lunch and then went shopping for a while. We were looking for a dresser for my sister to put in her new apartment. She wants one that has two long drawers and then two smaller drawers on the third level. If anyone has one they would be willing to sell for about $35 let me know and I will buy it off of you. Anyway, it was a very productive weekend getting to see the family, installing handles, and oh yeah finishing up report cards (4 more days of school).

Tiki and Tini

I officially got my first kittens on Saturday! I named the two brothers Tiki and Tini( Tiki is the one with the blue collar and Tini is my little runt sleeping). They are so cute and so far haven't ruined any of my furniture (knock on wood). They are very entertaining to watch but tire themselves out easily. So here are a couple of pictures and a video for you. Enjoy and be ready for a lot more.
