hello...i miss you



Hello and Wow, Sunday, already?

I'm blogging live because I played a ton on Friday and Saturday and didn't craft until this morning.  So today is filled with happy crafting.

Today's post is a smidge long and photo heavy'ish so get your coffee.

Speaking of coffee...


(all the paper is from a Studio Calico Card kit, hello die is Savvy)

I've been trying to challenge myself to use more stamps sets on a project.  This card is kind of a cheater card but it does use 3 different Paper Smooches sets:


I know, you're like, "What?  Friendly Flowers?!"

I put a panel on the interior of the card.


This is a multi-tasking card for a former co-worker of mine:  Birthday and Miss you.

I was inspired by the Paper Smooches July Designer Draft:


I also challenged myself to not use my current Paper Smooches FAV set:  Crystal Clear

So those of you that follow me on FB, may have seen some of my posts from yesterday.  

We spent a couple hours at the Seattle Urban Craft Uprising.   This is our 2nd year {we went to the last winter show} and I highly recommend it to you locals!

They give out Free Swag Bags for the first 100 in line:

Tons of goodies...we had different loot, so not all the bags are packed the same.  I'll share loots pics on a different post as this one is chock full of stuff.

Unfortunately my pics from the show weren't so good....I tend to get so caught up in all of the eye candy and some of the 'booths' were pretty packed.

Although I had tons of things on my wish list, this is all that I purchased:


I know myself, I'll probably just stare at it since it's much too pretty to actually use!  These guys are local and I love to support locals.


We had a Lovely Day.


So Friday was the boy's birthday

Super 16






I've been playing around with the Typic Photo App...(Thanks to Sherry for letting me know about this one!}.   My momma didn't care too much for the photo editing...complained about the lack of color :)

 That's it for me for today...off to power craft!
