We're Back!

Hello!  Finally back from our vacation.  And it's really nice to be home though our kids wanted to stay at Disneyland forever.  We visited other places too so our trip lasted almost 2 weeks and boy, we (mom and dad) are wiped out.  I think maybe a week is more manageable.  We (actually, my hubby) had to do laundry while on vacation.  Fighting over 3 or 4 washers was not fun.  But we did get to hang out with Cheryl and her family which is always nice since our kids get to play together.  We don't live in the same state anymore so getting together is a rare treat. 

I did miss checking blogs and participating in challenges especially week 1 of TGF's Royalty Contest.  Gosh, those new princesses are so cute! 

Anyway, I had to make a quickie card for my youngest.  He just turned 3 years old after our vacation which is a good thing since he was free to most of the attractions. 

I made him another bookmark/card using this Little Luke digital image (there is also a rubber stamp) from Stamp and Create.  Sales of this image benefit Luke and his family (www.prayforluke.com).  My boys love anything Star Wars and lightsabers so thought this was perfect for him.  I kept it pretty simple since I didn't have much time.  Just enough time to color and paste it down. 

I'm hoping to get back to crafting soon.  Thanks for reading and have a great week!

Butterfly Lucy

Hi!  I made a card for Flutter By Wednesday's 200th and last challenge.  I'll miss the challenges! 

Here's the sketch for the last challenge.

I decided to go with CC Designs Butterfly Lucy.  Isn't she sweet?  I love the flower border too also from CC Designs.  I got the grass die even though I have one from MFT because this one is a bit shorter and fits the flower border nicely.

I added some glossy accents on her hair accessories and the dots on her dress.  No, she's not eating the butterfly like my husband had first thought.  Geez, I don't understand him sometimes.

I also used the little saying from CC Designs Spring Logos and stamped it onto a cloudy background.  The butterfly is from CC Designs Butterfly Border that I love. 

I'd also like to enter this into Paper Sundaes Challenge #118 -- Ribbon and Pearls, Stamp and Create April Challenge -- Spring, and Ribbon Carousel Challenge 50 -- Anything Goes.

I had a nice day today with my daughter.  We got her hair cut and styled straight which she just loves.  Usually her hair is a bit wavy.  We had lunch and did some shopping.  But now I'm feeling a bit lazy to do the usual house chores.  Oh, and I'm trying to finish reading the Hunger Games books.  I'm on Catching Fire but it's slow going for me.  I don't know how my daughter read all 3 books.  Reading makes me sleepy so every time I read a few pages, I just want to close my eyes and sleep.

Thanks for reading and have a great week!
