A House of Cards

Thursday, August 28, 2008

I am long overdue...

for a blog post, so here we go.

Not too much exciting happening in my neck of the woods. The kids started soccer last week, so now we have three nights a week tied up for practices. When games start it will go to four. UGHHH! I love for my kids to be involved in extracurricular activities, but it's hard when it ties up so much of our time. And from what I hear, it is only going to get worse as they get older. Guess I better just get used to it and enjoy the ride, huh? ;)

Today I have a few things to share. Do you ever use the same technique or similar supplies on cards? Well, I do. (Sometimes not even realizing it.) I made up my Sketch This card for this week,

and I was so proud of myself for not waiting until the very last minute. I sent it to Janelle and went about my day. Well a little later I was organizing some things, and I put this week's and last week's cards side by side.


Duh! I basically made the same card as last week. It had a different theme, but was pretty much the same. The layouts were similar, I tied the ribbons the same, the stitches were pretty much the same, the card shape was the same. Oh well... I guess when you like certain techniques, you tend to do them over and over, huh? So, forgive my oversight. I will try to change it up next week.

Well I need to get some chores and projects done today, so I better get my butt off the computer and get moving. Thanks for stopping by!

Nancy has it so right, Roree, because your cards are just a delight to view, and I look for all those tiny special effects you always add. The little yellow x's on the Friends card are terrific as is the hand stitching on the leafs, and the two tacks of thread as well.
