Saturday . . . finally!

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!

This has been a long week.  Jeff finally got a job.  He will now be working at Thompson Pools doing indoor sales.  He is very excited to be working again.  It has been 7 months since he was laid off.  He has to work on Saturdays 9:00 a.m until 4:00 p.m.  I don't like that part, as that will only leave us with 1 day a week together.  Oh well, that is the sacrifice that we have to make for now.

Well, as promised, I have a new post for you . . .


This little girl is a Bild stamp - "Sitting - Mimosa".  I colored her with Copic pens.  My task was to show a front light source  I know that I still have a lot to learn.  I think that she is really sweet and she was fun to color.  I really liked how the paper and ribbons match so well and tie in really well with the pinks of her clothes.  I think it is a bright and fun card.  Here is the inside. . .


I used the same paper and a spellbinder template for the insert so that a nice sentiment can be written later.  I thought the stamp went with it really well, also.  This is one of my favorite cards so far.  I need to get better at taking pictures.  This just doesn't do the true colors justice as they are a little washed out from the real thing.  I have a light box that I am experimenting with.  I think that I need to get one more free standing lamp to help with the natural lighting.  What I really need is Practice, Practice, Practice!!  I think I might also get help from a professional photographer whom I happen to be related to through marriage.  Hey, if you can't bother family then what good are they.  :)

Well this is all that I have for now.  I'm not sure when I will be back.  It is really how the mood hits me.  I am getting the "sewing" bug and will most likely start a new quilt.  So, until next time - bye bye
