Sooo my brain works in two ways:
1. Look at a calendar. Think "oh, this person and this person have this event coming up. I should make cards." make cards. forget to send. Look at calendar and think "Oh man!! That was today?!". Send out card late.
2. Forget about event completely til I look at today's date. Panic that "TODAY is ____ !!!" throw together card, mail late.
Yep. that pretty much covers it, 90% of the time. sigh. Today was scenario #1, but I caught it by a day. With any luck, I got it to the PO drop box in time, haha!
Tomorrow is my parents 34th wedding anniversary!
I thought it was a perfect time to use this sweet stamp set I won on Cathee's blog a month or two ago, and haven't had a chance yet to put to ink! I also found that my ideas fit the current Freshly Made Sketch just about perfectly, so I adjusted the pieces til it did! Hooray! I colored the little butterfly with the Watercolor Wonder Crayons, but did not blend it, just left it softly colored. And!!! I sent it on its way!!!
(I apologize for the lousy lighting...its very overcast today and when I tried to edit it, it made the colors all weird- and it HAD to get in the mail!!!)
Supplies:
Stamps: Affection Collection (retired)
Ink: Baja Breeze, Midnight Muse, Versamark
Paper: Baja Breeze card stock, First Edition & Patio Party DP
Accessories: White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Watercolor Wonder Crayons.
Beautiful! Perfect for an anniversary card!
