Looks alot like Christmas

Had a cup of coffee, shopped at Mo's, colored, made iced coffee, shopped at my LSS, colored some more (which is now my favoritest thing to do), cut, more iced coffee, shaped my pieces Debby4000-style (I say this loosely, as I will never achieve her incredible work), used my silicone, did a bit of straight stitch embroidery (hand-to-ornaments), created the sentiment in photoshop, more iced coffee, fretted over the sketch at Mo's Challenge Blog, Skyped with Kathy, overcame my anxiety and finished my card ~ finally! Totally had a GREAT time!

Happy Birthday, Sandy!

Yesterday was my sweet little sister's 43rd birthday... Since I am the photography and lovingly referred to as the "family historian", I hold all of the photographs :) I went through the last 6 years of my digital world and chose 40 photos, all of which Sandy was in... it was hard to just choose 40. I created a simply elegant 8.5x11 album for her, and had a lot of fun walking down memory lane with the photos. She loved her gift!

I do LOVE to create!
