The birthdays are drawing nearer, and I am pretty much on top of the birthday cards. I finished Mr Almost 5's card early last week, but have been madly studying for my MROCP up until this morning (when I sat for the test...fingers crossed I passed)....so I haven't managed to post it yet.
I am really happy with the card that I made...and am totally in love with the colour combo...which includes some of my carefully hoarded Vintage Violet cardstock (be still my heart! I'd forgotten how much I LOVE that colour).
Cardstock: Vintage Violet, Baja Breeze, Whisper White and Crumb Cake (all SU)
Ink: Baja Breeze Classic Ink (SU) and Tuxedo Black Memento (Tsukineko)
Stamps: Linen (SU), Calendar Alphabet & Numbers (SU) and Birthday Bash Sentiments (PTI)
Accessories: Orange Zest Satin Ribbon (PTI), White Twisted Paper Cord (Annabelle Stamps), White Gel Pen (misc), Large Scalloped Border (PTI), 1 3/8" circle punch (yacht hull), 1 1/4" square punch (yacht sails), two step owl punch (yacht number circles), heart to heart punch (seagulls), Tombow mono adhesive (Penwa) and Mini glue dots (SU).
I also have one wee bubba shot to share with you too...sorry, I just can't seem to help myself...
I hope that you all had a lovely weekend! I did, except for having nightmares about how my exam would go this morning. It is the first exam I have sat for since I finished up at UNSW in 1997...and I'd forgotten how anxious I get about them. My dream involved me sitting for the exam in a local McDonald's store, and it was so noisy I couldn't think straight...and when I opened the exam all the pages were cut up in weird papercrafting shapes!!!!!!). I think it went ok in the end...and that I'll be able to make all the necessary VHF/MF/HF calls that we might need to make en route, without making too much of a fool of myself ;-).
Thanks for dropping by today....OVER and OUT.
