Good morning! I have a couple of posts for you today. I was definitely in the 'Spring-time' mood yesterday and made a couple of cards.
OK. Let me be honest with you. Actually... I was in a terrible mood yesterday & needed craft therapy with happy, peaceful colors. :) For those of you who read my blog yesterday... my car has been giving me fits. I was praying that we could avoid a major repair for ONCE after getting our tax return --- because our finances are SO tight that it's nice to have a little cushion to live on. For some reason, every year about this time... something major goes wrong & our tax return comes to the rescue.
But -- the biggest issue yesterday was dealing with my 4 yr. old. For some reason, he was in a MOOD yesterday. --- I had to peel him off the stacks of tires at the tire repair shop... peel him off the ground from a tantrum... deal with his screaming fits at home -- fun stuff like that. And, to top it off, an old friend that I hadn't seen in years was getting her car repaired too -- so I'm sure she thought my son acted like this all the time. Very embarrassing. I was never happier to see him fall asleep. LOL! -- And that's when I ran to my craft room to 'vent'. Believe me -- words can not describe how terrible he was yesterday. And then, today... he's like an angel. ???
OK. Enough of that. ;) Here is a card I made from a little Spring-time inspiration from Betsy Veldman & Papertrey Ink. (I cut a piece of felt to mimic the strawberry stems.) The 'Green Thumbs' set was my very first non-Stampin' Up! set I purchased YEARS ago. This set opened my eyes to the wide world of crafts. I was definitely 'stuck in a box' before that fateful purchase. LOVE this set! :)
Thanks for letting me vent. Love you guys! :)

ReplyDeleteThis is a really pretty card. I especially love the felt that you used on the card. The texture really adds a lot.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute cute card! I think the same thing happens to us every year when we get our refund, so frustrating! And I totally know where you are coming from with your boy, my baby (okay he is 21 months) was in a mood this morning and screamed and carried on about everything!!! uh oh terrible twos here we come:)!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards aside, I'm sorry you had "one of those days." I'll think happy thoughts for you about that car of yours! And as far as seeing an old friend, Pshaw. No need to feel embarassed...all kids have "those days" too. Hang in there because spring is in the air!
