A Butterfly Reflections, Ink Post

Hello!

It is my turn today, at the Butterfly Reflections, Ink blog, and I would love it if you stopped by! I am sharing this lovely card, using My Favorite Things, and watercoloring!

Thanks for checking in to see me today! Have a great one!

Button-y Thank You

Hello hello!  My husband and I had an amazing time today at Cedar Point!  If you live in the Eastern Midwest you know Cedar Point!  I love rollercoasters and they have a ton of them!  Needless to say, we are tired and red and did I mention tired?  We picked up our 2 year old from my mother's and are now just relaxing, ahhh. 

I thought I would post it on my blog that I will be going to Chicago for CHA on July 31st!!!  My sweet, wonderful, awesome (need I go on?) husband is taking me there for the weekend and I couldn't be more thrilled! So friend, if you are going let me know, I would love to meet you! 

Okay, my card for tonight is a product of no inclination to craft so I CASE famous designers cards.  I really think it helps me bring back my crafty brain, that and I love Maile Belle's creations.  Her card is on page 70 in the recent Papercrafts issue. 

Thank you for stopping by tonight and for all of your wonderful comments from the blog hop yesterday!  You make my day. Have a good one!

My Cup Runneth Over...

Hi!  So glad you stopped by!  I am having one of "those" days today.  Kiddo woke me up crying about an hour after I finally fell asleep and I went into his room three times putting his blankets back on him.  My husband (who has to get up at 4 am) wakes up and he goes in...needless to say I didn't get much shut-eye last night.  Mr. Toddler is now in a cranky-I-don't-want-to-listen kind of mood and I am ready to scream.  HA!  But my dear friend you didn't come here to hear all of that so here is a little card I made using some BoBunny Kitchen Spice and Papertrey Ink's Tea For Two and Additions (LOVE!).  I hope your day is going a LOT better than mine!!  :0)
