How time flies....

Can you believe that Summer is almost over? I know there are still a few weeks left and the weather has finally turned nice (it has only taken 3 months!) but with the kids going back to school tomorrow - it is the unofficial end to Summer. Where did it go? Tomorrow the School buses will be back on the road and there will be more traffic in general. And do you realize that Thanksgiving (at least in Canada) is just over a month away. What a depressing thought!

One of my "New Year's Resolutions" was to try and use up my non SU supplies. Let's just say that I haven't done very well. BUT... I have greatly reduced the amount of non-SU supplies that I bought (does that count).

Here is a birthday card. The tag embellishment and paper are non-SU. Everything else is SU.


Have a good one.

A Baby and a Birthday Card

Yes I feel guilty. I haven't blogged in ages - I haven't even gone in to check my blog or visit others. As the youngins say .... 'my bad'.

I was at my G-nephews first birthday yesterday - gotta love babies. As tradition has it - he had his own birthday cake and he got to do whatever he wanted with it. And here is the proof.





OK.. I know he is my G-Nephew but he is dang cute.

A special birthday needed a special birthday card. This style of card is all over the blogs and SCS. I was inspired by Diana Gibbs card HERE. Did you know that she is a SU Artisian Award winner for the new year!!! WOW - what an accomplishment.

Here is my card. It is super easy to do - but a heck of a lot of cutting.



Have a good one. Hopefully I won't wait a month to blog again. :( PS.. Less than 3 weeks until Italy - can you say Buon Giorno!
