Hey diddle, diddle...

the cow jumped over the moon. Okay, a weird start, I know. Sometimes posts come to me, sometimes, not so much. It has gotten COLD here! I love it. I'm such a winter person. I lived in Moscow for a year and I really enjoy Moscow in Janaury. Give me forty below over 90 degrees any day. My husband thinks I'm weird (for more reasons than one!), especially since I'm a person that is perpetually cold, but my response is always that I love cold weather, but I don't particularly enjoy being cold. Although given a choice, I'll take being cold over being hot because you can always add more layers. You can only get so naked. :)

I spent this afternoon working on Valentines for my From Our Hearts box (due December 26!). I think I am nearly done. I made 25 to add to growing pile, so even if I don't have a full box this time, at least it is a respectable showing.


I have two cards to share today. The first is a birthday card I made for my brother-in-law back in October. I actually made two of these and will use the second one for my father-in-law's birthday at the end of the month. It's a nice masculine layout that I got from Julie Davison. I used a color combo from the Color Coach (Cajun Craze, So Saffron and Always Artichoke) and the Lovely as a Tree stamp set, which is always good for masculine cards. The second card is another MDS card that I made while playing around last night. I like how it turned out--I've been wanting to try a button card like that. I want to make a "real" card just like it when I get my Funky Four set next quarter. I sent in some projects to be professionally printed by SU!--I'm curious to see how well they turn out in person. I'll let you know, k?
