Favorite card yet...

So tonight I made my favorite to date. I saw a video on Youtube (there are 1000 at least) on how to make a shutter card. I made a couple of attempts, but after I found the right papaer, it all seemed to fall into place. I got to use my favorite papaer pack, for today, it changes often. Its the Cafe Medieteranian stck from DCWV. Anyway without further ado, (is that how you spell it?) Here is the card, sory for the poor lighting.

This is what it looks like when it satnds up.

And a close up of the sentiment.

Mid week shuffle

Wow its only Wednesday and I am already tired like its Friday Night. Work today was actually wonderful. I truly do love me job, and when I can quietly work and check things off my list steadily all day, its a good day.

Oh man my yesterday was ridiculous! Work then a Baseball game, came back and caught the last 2 matches of a boys volleyball game, stayed around for FUSE (young adult church service), then alate late dinner with a friend. I walked in the door sometime around 1130. whew So obviously a craft or something creative wasn't real likely last night.

However, today I watched quite a few blog tutorials, check out my friend Janice (blogspot.cricutology.com), and I was pumped to come home and make something. So after a long day of work, and Awana Grand Prix, and dinner with the church Youth Group, I came home and make a sweet little cute card for a dear friend, until I give it to her I don;t want to share but soon Ill post a pic.

Last night over dinner and most of today my mind has been in Kenya. I am so so ready to be back. I still have about 2000 dollars to raise, but I am praying feverishly and I KNOW I will get there. I really need to send out support letters soon.

Im fading fast, so until tomorrow.

Do Something Creative Everyday...

So I just had a great big chuckle. I decided Id try and start blogging again, and I went back to look at the last time I had blogged and the first sentence read....So this is the first week I am "officially" at World Hope full time and to say I am tired would be the understatement of the year!!... Well that explains a lot. I am really busy with work, and a new second job, and Awana and church and a 1000 other commitments. But it is kinda funny that I go an d get a full time job, and BAM...no time for blogging, will anything creative really.

So I kinda took a break from fun photography and I have REALLY been missing it lately. I looked back at my my old blogs with photots and it makes me sad. I lost the love because from about september on it was more about taking pictures for other people, and honestly I got sick of it. I've also felt big pull lately to be more creative, I've been making cards for some months now, and I kind of love it. People I have been giving them to, seem to like them as well. And this weeks I've been doing some other crafts, including making magnets, and string art, and a gift for a friend's new house. I'd really like to try and do something creative everyday. Even if its small. We'll see how that goes.

I am just now barely recovering from Bronchitis, and working two jobs, and keeping book for the high school baseball team that plays three games a week, and teaching Awana, its a LOT. Im trying to take some time for myself. Hopefully lots of crafts and "fun" pictures to come....

For now I leave you with one of my favorite cards I've made to date.
