Ooops! I almost forgot!

Hey guys!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend!  We spent Saturday with my family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) and had such a great time.  I love just relaxing on a beautiful day, surrounded by the people I love the most.  We took the boys to a water park on Sunday... and then spent most of Monday getting the yard/house spruced up.  I think I've literally washed 10+ loads of laundry today.  Ugh!  But... I'm finally feeling like I'm getting a grip back on things & hopefully will be able to get in my craft room soon to just create for the joy of it.  I have a really hard time being creative when I know that there are a million other things that I should be doing instead.  :)

One of the things that I'm really excited about is the new Card Creations Vol. 8 edition by Paper Crafts!  I just love the bright, fun colors on the cover and the inside is packed FULL of amazing projects and ideas.  It's definitely a go-to issue for me!

And... I REALLY love this magazine because my card made the cover!  Yippee!

The Paper Crafts blog had a feature last week on all of the 'Cover Girls', so if you'd like to read more about me and the inspiration behind this card, you can check it out HERE.  This card uses one of my denim flower embellishments that are super easy to make!  If you haven't seen it yet, I have a video tutorial HERE.

I had my May Crafty Chicks class last week & wanted to show you pictures of what we made... but my boys used my camera batteries for their Wii remotes... and wouldn't you know --- they're completely dead.  So... as soon as I get new batteries, I'll post some pics for you soon.  :)  I have some great girls that like to craft with me once a month & it's always a lot of fun.  :)  Until next time!.....
